Key verse: And the word of the Lord came unto him saying, get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook cherish, that is before Jordan...and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 1 King 17:2-4.

INTRODUCTION:

Trusting God for provisions can be rewarding, and since human resources are limited, it will be advisable that our absolute trust should be on God who is never limited in resources. The Bible says the cattle upon a thousand hills, the silver and gold... belongs to Him. Psalms 50:10.

*THE ALL DEPENDABLE GOD.*

When it comes to your sales, purchases and finances, you must see God as your dependable partner.

No one can succeed on his own without the help of God.(Psalms 121:1-2) And in Psalms 127:1&2 also, Bible declare that except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that builds it, except the Lord keep the city the Watchman walketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrow, for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

How can we ever think of succeeding in this world without the help of God. We can be so gifted, intelligent, educated, connected, and even financially capable, but success can still be far from us if we fail to use all we possess in a way that promotes God's interest, salvation and common good of others.

In our opening text, God told Elijah that He has commanded the ravens to feed him, because he Elijah had borne the burden of God, the Lord is now interested to take care of him. As a matter of fact, to show how God load us with his benefits, in verse 9 of that same 1kings 17, when the brook cherish dried up, God commanded a widow to sustain Elijah.

We can't be stranded with the kind of God we worship. He is too big to fail. No one walks with God and not enter into the promise. You should be heaven conscious of your supply, not man, not your employer, not Nigeria nor Europe or America, it's then that your supply will be non-stop.

I have seen several people who became disappointed and frustrated because they where trusting and waiting on their fellow man. The scriptures says caused be the man that trusted in man, maketh flesh his arm, ...and shall not see when good cometh... Jeremiah 17: 5-6. Man that you see today can't help themselves, we all depend on God therefore it will be completely foolish to put our trust in our jobs, financies, intelligence, or our business. These things are good but you must understand that they are only channels to make you succeed in life. And it is the value we attach to them in relation to how we use them to promote God's interest that shows we actually depend on God for our next supply.

I pray for you, that this week, may God's blessings locate you, may the Lord send you buyers and those interested in your business today, your source shall never run dry because heaven will continue to back you up. And most importantly may that new thing that has been pending spring forth. Amen.
You are lifted.
