Be willing and obedient

Tuesday, January  26th
Be willing and obedient.


“Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.”
1 Kings 17:3-4

Yesterday, we learnt that if you are where God wants you to be, you will always have provision. Today, I want you to learn something more on the way God makes his provision available to you gleaning from the experience Elijah had.

God told Elijah that He had commanded the ravens to feed him. The ravens are very selfish and greedy birds yet God told Elijah that He has commanded a very selfish and greedy bird to feed him. If you were Elijah, will you believe such a Word from God? But the Prophet Elijah believed because he trusted in God's integrity and ability, not in the character of the ravens.

Therefore, if you are going to experience such supernatural provisions, your trust must be completely in God's integrity and ability, knowing that He is able to use anyone, including the most stingy, to bring provisions to you.

Stop determining your prosperity according to what the financial experts have said. Your prosperity is not dependent on their speculations and postulations. No matter what the experts may be saying, the Bible says in Isaiah 1:19, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:” No matter how difficult things look to the natural man, God has shown you that there is always good in the land for those who willingly obey Him to eat. Your case is different. Praise God.

Prayer
Dear Father, I rest in your care for me. I believe in your integrity and ability to supply all my needs according to your riches in glory. I pledge to be willing and obedient; therefore I eat the good of the land, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Psalm 103:1-5, Isaiah 3:10, Joel 2:23-27.

Doing the Word
Trust not in men but in God alone who is your source.
