Read
Mark
6:35-42,
35 And
when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, this is
a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36 Send
them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the
villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 He
answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall
we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 He
saith unto them, how many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they
say, five, and two fishes.
39 And
he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 And
they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And
when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven,
and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before
them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42 And
they did all eat, and were filled.

MESSAGE
The Almighty God is well known as ‘The Lord
who provides.’ God is the provider and supplier of the needs of all creation,
but He gives special attention to His own people. Psalms 145:16 says:
“Thou openest thine
hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. He provides for all
people.”
Our God is a gracious Father, He does not
only provide the needs of His children, He also protects their interest. He
crowns His children with glory, and as a Consuming Fire, burns anyone that
messes around with their royalty and honour. Three of God’s children, crowned
by God with glory, found themselves in such a situation one day. A king, who
virtually ruled the world of their day, thought too highly of himself and
wanted to rubbish their glory. He dispatched some hefty men to tie them and
hurl them into a burning fiery furnace. At the end, the men he sent were
roasted by the fire he set up, while the Consuming Fire was with His children
inside the furnace to protect them and His glory upon them. They eventually walked
majestically out of the furnace into promotion and increased glory (Daniel 3:1-30). This season, any plan
to touch God’s glory on your life shall be destroyed. Every fire the enemy
kindles against you and your family shall devour that enemy in Jesus’ name.
You need to know the worth of your Heavenly
Father so that you can tap into His resources. The lifestyle of a child is
determined by the status of the father and the resources controlled by the father.
Philippians 4:19 says:
“But my God shall
supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
If your father has a bicycle and you need to
get to school, he will let your ride on it. If he has no means of
transportation, you will trek. If he has a rickety car, you will ride in it,
with passers-by looking with pity at its occupants. But if your father has an
exotic car, you will ride in it and be admired by onlookers. Psalms 24:1 says the earth and
everything in it belongs to our Father. Haggai
2:8 says He owns all the gold and slivers. Psalms 50:10 says He owns all the cattle upon a thousand hills. John 14:3 says in His Heavenly estate
there are many mansions. No wonder Philippians
4:19 say my Daddy will supply all my needs according to His riches in
glory. Needs are met by available resources. Since He has all things, then all
your needs shall be met. Call upon the Great Provider and start tapping into
the unlimited resources of your Heavenly Father by faith today.
Prayer Point
Father, you are the
Great Provider, please meet all my needs in Jesus’ name.
