Provision has been made through Christ for our survival in life otherwise Jesus would not have come to earth. He came to earth, to give us life in abundance (John 10:10) so that we do not live a mediocre life. Therefore you no longer need to worry over what you will eat, drink or wear (Matthew 6:25-34) because you have more than enough through Christ who supplies all your need from his abundant riches. Instead of worrying over your needs, put your faith to the test and reach out to the Lord in prayer henceforth. Do not allow worry into your heart for when you start to worry, you doubt God’s power of provision for you and this does not provide the faith you need to bring about your desires.
Your world may be masked with the reality of your present situation, that is not the truth about you in God’s world. The Bible says that; “The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing (Psalm 34:10)”. This is the truth spoken straight from God’s mouthpiece to his children. Even though your reality in the physical seems unshifting and unchanging, the truth about you in the spiritual world is that you are abundantly blessed and equipped with every good thing through Christ.
You are the daughter and son of a king who owns every animal in the forest, the cattle on the thousand hills belong to your God and your king. (Psalm 50:10). Every bird in the mountains and the creatures of the hills are the Lord’s. He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else (Acts 17:25). He has given all creatures and plants into your hand and has made you ruler over them all (Genesis 1). “God shall supply your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus“, this is the absolute truth of God’s promises to you his children.
Many years ago, a widow’s faith in speaking the word of God over her life sealed this practice of holding on to God’s promises for me. Whenever she was in need, she declared the word and acted upon it until it becomes a reality. One by one, her needs were met. Whenever I need a provision of any sort, I reach for my Bible and I declare in faith; The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want (Psalms 23:1). I declare this scripture because I am aware that Shepherds always provide for their sheep. They go to any length to look for food, water and shelter for their sheep. They go beyond providing the basic needs, they guide, direct and protect their sheep.
What do you lack? What do you need? What exactly is it that you want? Are you unemployed, call upon Jesus the good shepherd? Are you single looking to be married, call upon the good shepherd for a good husband and a companion. Are you hungry, call upon Jesus the good shepherd to feed you? Do you need clothing? Jesus is more than able to clothe you. Do you need shelter? Jesus can provide. Do you need guidance, counselling, comfort, protection, courage, faith, strength, a miracle? What do you need? Call upon the name of Jesus. He is a good shepherd and he will look after you.
If you know Jesus, Call upon the name of Jesus and he will do whatever you ask in his name. If you do not know Jesus, call upon his name still and he will come to your aid.
Make a declaration of faith
I am convinced that the Lord Jesus is my shepherd. I shall not want. He is a good shepherd who laid down his life for for me (John 10:11-15). Therefore I know he will provide for all my need.
