Instruction and provision.

“Look at the birds. They don't plant, harvest, or gather the harvest into barns. Yet, your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they?”
Matthew 6:26 (GW)

According to our opening scripture, if God feeds the birds that do not have as much value as you, how much more will He feed you? You ought not to struggle to eat. So if you are struggling to eat something is amiss.

God means what He says, and these are the very words of the Lord Jesus. He said the birds do not plant or harvest. That means their provision was not because they planted or saved. Their provision was because of the Father's care. If you are struggling for provision as a Christian you need to renew your mind to this truth. Provision is your right as a child of God. This is why Jesus said in Matthew 6:11 that when we pray we should say “Give us this day our daily bread.” You demand for your provision, you do not beg for it because it is your right as a child of God.

Also, another reason why some Christians are also lacking provision is because they have not learnt that divine provision is controlled by instruction. Supernatural success is not by human effort it is by following divine instructions. There is provision from God for you every day but you will have to learn to follow instructions daily to always access your provision.

There are times the Lord may instruct you to sow a particular seed; sow it. He may show you a need and give you an idea and an instruction to start a particular business; start it. Whatever instruction He gives you, obey it because your provision is controlled by instruction. Willful disobedience will cut you off from divine supply. Therefore, follow instructions because your provision and the fulfillment of your destiny depend on it.


Prayer.
Dear Father, teach me to number my days so that I may apply my heart unto wisdom, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Doing the Word.
Whatever He says to you, do it.
