1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of

1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you
through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto

MESSAGE:
“God is in the midst of her; she shall
not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.”
Psalm 46:5
From the above
passage of Scripture, one great benefit available to those who have God as
their Refuge is that the help or assistance they need will never be late. There
are at least three different times an individual can receive assistance. It
could be before, during or after one experiences a need. If a need or an
emergency arises today and you already have the wherewithal to meet that need,
maybe from your earnings from paid employment or a business venture, you have
already received help before that need arose. Open Heavens 31 July 2017: Monday
daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Provision Before Need. This is a great place to be in! Some families
already have all they will never need to take care of their children and pay
their way up to post-graduate degree programmes, even before this need arises.
Such people will never panic for school fees. This is an example of provision
before need, and it describes a state of living in abundance. You will
experience such in Jesus’ Name!
“According as his divine power hath
given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:”
It is therefore
possible for you to be a beneficiary of provision before need. However, one
major challenge for most people with regards to this benefit is that when there
is provision to meet their future needs, they become careless, frivolous and
wasteful. Open Heavens 31 July 2017. When God provides ahead of time, it is
possible to spend it on other things outside of God’s purpose. You therefore
need divine guidance even in plenty. Having abundance does not justify
wastefulness in God’s Kingdom. However, to partake of this great benefit, you
need to increase your knowledge of the Provider, walk in obedience to Him,
follow spiritual financial principles and wait on His directives always.
Prayer Point:
What some people waste daily is more than
enough to feed several needy, hungry people. To trigger blessings from the
Lord, such excess should be spent on meeting the needs of others.
