Sermon: God is the great provider

Memorise: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19)

Read: Matthew 6:31-33

As at that time, we only had a house fellowship in America. I informed the brother who was driving me of what God said. A little while after this incident, the brother went to a restaurant. According to divine providence, the man God told to buy the land was there. The Lord pointed the land owner to the brother and said: “That is the representative of those who would use the land.”

The man got up and went to meet the brother and asked him if he was a man of God. He replied that he was a pastor. Then the man told him that God said the land he bought would be used by his organization.

Also, God told him to sell it exactly the amount he bought it several years before, without adding any interest. We bought the land and I went there to spend the night. That night, my heart was overwhelmed with joy that the God who started with us at Ebute-Metta (Lagos) could now own such a property in the United States.

While praising God that night, He said “Son, look around. All the land you see here I have given to you’. The following day, I informed three of my boys of what God said but that they should tell no one.

Today, from 114 acres, the church has acquired 580 acres. Do you know that God knows your needs and makes provision for them before the time you need them? If only you can let God be your focus, align your will with His and be Kingdom-minded, He will ensure you receive your blessings at the appointed time. One reason many believers, even ministers suffer unnecessarily is because they fail to follow what the Word says. What you would need in the next 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30 or 50 years have already been provided for. Connect with God in faith and they will reach you in due season.
