GOD'S PROVISION

Date - December 1st, 2021

Topic - GOD'S PROVISION 

Bible Text - May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us. May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. - Psalm 67:5-7



In this devotion, we’re going to answer three questions. Here’s question number one: What do we need in this world? That’s a little tricky, isn’t it? If the question were, “What do you want in this world?” we could probably make a list ten pages long. Wants are easy to think of, but what about needs?

For starters, we need oxygen to breathe. We need water to drink. We need food to eat. We need some kind of shelter from the elements. We need love. We need forgiveness. We might add other, less primal needs such as a job to support the family or a way to get food and water.

Here’s question number two: How many of our family’s needs has God supplied? That’s an easier answer: all of them. God takes care of our needs — and a great deal of our wants.

Here’s question number three: How often do we thank God for providing the basics that we need to survive? In Psalm 67:5-6, David calls on the people of the earth to praise God for the harvest that the land was about to produce.

Let’s answer his call as a family. Let’s spend some time thanking God for the basics, the things we need every day. 



PRAYER
Dear God, thank you for the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and everything else you provide to keep us alive. Your creation is amazing, and it sustains us. Amen.

INSIGHT
Thank God for His provision in your life.

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
