Who is your provider?

The scriptures teach us that God is our ultimate provider. Most often look at their jobs as their provider, but frankly, jobs come and go. They can be available today, and gone tomorrow. It’s vital that we catch the revelation deep in our spirit that God is our provider. Opportunities can close down. Downsizing and layoffs can occur. But God is able to get provision over to us in unlimited ways because He is an unlimited God with unlimited provision and resources. He is actually the one that provides provision and resources for us on a daily basis. Not only that, when we are generous, He will multiply our resources so that we can continue to be generous with others. Your job might shut down, your bank might fail, your current opportunities might dry up, but always remember that God never fails, and He is the one that will open new doors of opportunity when the current one shuts down because He is our provider!

2 Corinthians 9:10 “Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing [that is, your resources] and increase the harvest of your righteousness [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love]”

Don’t worry, the Lord will repay!

There are many that expect for people to respond with thanks and gratitude when they do something nice for them. The truth is that there will be many times when we do kind things for people, but they won’t even acknowledge your kindness. Some have even stopped ministering to others because they have been disappointed in the past when their actions of love and kindness haven’t been recognized or respected. I have good news for you. Ephesians 6:8 says: “knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord”. Notice that it doesn’t say that people need to pay you back for the good you do. It says that God is the one that responds to your acts of kindness. It says when we do something good, we will receive the same from the Lord! The TPT version says it this way: “Be assured that anything you do that is beautiful and excellent will be repaid by our Lord, whether you are an employee or an employer”. Be encouraged today that God sees your service and acts of love and kindness. Even if no one recognizes it, God sees it and He will reward you, Hallelujah!
