Topic: The Great Provider [Wednesday 27, September 2017]
Memorise: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19
Read: Mark 6:35-42
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.

MESSAGE:
God is the provider and supplier of the needs of all creation, but He gives special attention to His own people.
Our God is a gracious Father, He does not only provide the needs of His Children, He also protects their interest. He crowns His children with glory, and a Consuming Fire, burns anyone that messes around with their royalty and honor. Three of God’s children, crowned by God with glory, found themselves in such a situation one day. They were bound up by hefty men and thrown into a burning fiery furnace. At the end, the hefty men were roasted by the fire, while God, the Consuming Fire was with His Children inside the furnace to protect them and His glory was upon them. They eventually walked majestically out of the furnace into promotion and increased glory (Daniel 3:1-30). This season, any plan to touch God’s glory on your life shall be destroyed. Every fire the enemy kindles against you and your family shall devour that enemy in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point: Father, you are the Great Provider, please meet all my needs in Jesus’ Name.
