OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: FRIDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER 2017
THEME: DELAYED PROVISION
Memorise:
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest
them their meat in due season. Psalm 145:15
Read: Daniel 10:7-13
10:7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the
men that were with me saw not the vision; but a
great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to
hide themselves.
10:8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this
great vision, and there remained no strength in
me: for my comeliness was turned in me into
corruption, and I retained no strength.
10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and
when I heard the voice of his words, then was I
in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward
the ground.
10:10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which
set me upon my knees and upon the palms of
my hands.
10:11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man
greatly beloved, understand the words that I
speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee
am I now sent. And when he had spoken this
word unto me, I stood trembling.
10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for
from the first day that thou didst set thine heart
to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy
God, thy words were heard, and I am come for
thy words.
10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia
withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo,
Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help
me; and I remained there with the kings of
Persia.
Message:
More often than not, when a man receives
provision before he or she has need for it,
wastage occurs. Such a fellow will entertain
expenditures that are focused more on
unnecessary wants rather than on needs. This is
why such an individual needs wisdom, guidance
and lots of self-denial or self-control. May you
not waste your provisions in Jesus’ Name!
However, provision could also come at the time
of need. This type of arrangement is preferred by
some people because it eradicates the likelihood
of waste. According to Psalm 46:5; when God is
your refuge, He will always show up at the right
time. He is never late! I pray that whatever
assistance you need will locate you as soon as
the need arises in Jesus’ Name.
In quite a number of situations, provision comes
much after the day of need. This is totally
unacceptable because the purpose for which the
provision is needed is already defeated. Provision
long after need is almost as bad as total denial.
When help, assistance or provision is not
available in the time of need, it will result in
disappointment, feeling of rejection, shame and
disgrace, painful loss or even death. Do you
know that many people who died in some ghastly
accident could have survived if only they
received help at the time of the incident? There
are some who survived for a few hours but later
gave up the ghost because they did not receive
medical attention at the hour of need.
John 10:10; talks of Satan’s evil mission to steal,
kill and destroy. One way he does this is by
delaying provision or help from reaching people
in need. In today’s Bible reading, following his
petition to Heaven during a fast, an answer was
sent to Daniel, but it was delayed by the Prince
of Persia for 21 days. Daniel should have
received the answer on the first day, but it was
delayed for that whole period. Every force of
delay, sent to set back your provision or help
beyond the time of need, shall be frustrated,
disgraced and paralyzed in Jesus’s Name!
Whatever was programmed to reach you late
shall arrive on time; you shall not be
disappointed! That yoke of delay over your
expectations is destroyed now! The Lord will sort
you out speedily in Jesus’ Name!
Key Point:
One challenge of the rich is that because they
have enough to meet their needs, even for the
next 10, 20 or more years, their confidence is
usually in their money and not in God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Esther 8-10
Ezekiel 48:21-35
AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE
HYMN 4: THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD OUR
SAVIOR
1 Through the love of God our Saviour,
All will be well;
Free and changeless is His favour,
All, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us,
Perfect is the grace that sealed us,
Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,
All must be well.
2 Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well.
Ours is such a full salvation,
All, all is well.
Happy still in God confiding;
Fruitful if in Christ abiding;
Steadfast through the Spirit's guiding:
All must be well.
3 We expect a bright tomorrow;
All will be well.
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
All, all is well.
On our Father's love relying,
Jesus every need supplying;
Or in living or in dying;
All must be well. |
