Jehovah Jireh


The Lord Provides

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. Matthew 14:14

Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way." Mathew 15:32

When you are in need of something great, the devil will try to play with your mind, and cause you to doubt God's ability to provide. You must not let him win. You have to remain strong. Jesus has won the victory for you. Send those lies along with Satan back to the pit where they came from and claim the promises of God.

It is very important to remember that no matter what the need may be, God is the one who provides. He is able and willing to provide for his children. From the 2 scriptures above, Jesus demonstrated with a crowd of 5,000 and another of 4,000, that He is the God who provides. We do not like them but we need those difficult moments in life. There's nothing, that will bring you more face-to-face with God's ability to provide than when we find ourselves in desperate situations. When you are in a dark valley you are going to cling to His garments like the woman with the issue of blood, and hold onto His hand and His word. My friend, God word is forever true and His word is life. I thank God for those trying moments of my life that have forced me to run to him and hang on tight.

The power of Jehovah Jireh cannot come alive unless one of God's children has a need. When the most "responsible", "typical" reasonable and "natural" thing to do was to ask the multitudes to find their own food, Jesus turned to the supernatural power of God. I can only imagine the disciples' surprise when Jesus told them to feed the multitude knowing that there were no food on hand. When Jesus blessed the bread and the fishes, He was confident that God would multiply them. He did not seem to doubt the father's ability.

What is your pressing need? Can you trust God with it?

Are you praying for healing for a love one? Are you looking for a job? A mate? maybe you want to go to graduate school. You maybe physically ill or rejected by loves ones. The needs are many, but I am telling you this morning that Jehovah Jireh is still providing for those who trust Him (firm assurance that He is able). He wants to turn your situations around if you would just bring them to Him in prayers and rely on Him completely just like Jesus did when He lives among us. He is our example in every way.

We are serving a great God. Experience His goodness and might in your life. Bring Him something big, trust Him and watch Him work. There's nothing sweeter than the fruits answered prayers.
Learn to trust God my friend, He is Jehovah Jireh!

Praise the Lord!

Happy birthday Jolie-Luna! God bless you. May you grow up to know that God is all that you need!
