God is MY... PROVIDER

Starting a new series always excites me, because of a new challenge of researching for a new piece or article it means new learning and I pray that as we start our new series about the NAME of God and how it relates to us, I pray that this is not just a typical, usual Sunday topics but a relational application that we have to live and apply for the rest of our life.

God is MY…

Who is God to you? Upon which name do you call in your time of need? Names are much more than something we call each other given to distinguish one person from another. Names (good or bad) are loaded with emotion and meaning and are very important to us.

How God meets our needs

1.  God must deal with our motive and Attitude first.

Manipulation and selfish desire are the chief enemies to our needs being met in the proper way. We must be sure that our needs are God-driven and not self-desiring.

James 4:3 said;

“And even when you do ask, you don’t get it because your whole motive is wrong

—you want only what will give you pleasure.”

2.  God has different METHODS of meeting our needs.

We may not understand why He has chosen to meet our needs in a different way, but God perfectly arranged to meet every need we have.

3.  God has NEVER FAILED to meet our needs.

His provision is always available, but in the context of His principle.

Law of God First

Do you want God to provide for you?  It starts here.  It starts with putting God first in your life.  That’s the bottom line.  The Bible says that if you put your trust in God – if you make his kingdom your primary concern – that God will provide for you.  He will meet your needs.  But you’ve got to put God first in your life.  When we use the name “Jehovah Jireh”, we’re not just saying that “God will provide”. We’re acknowledging that God has always provided, and that He will continue to provide. Just be careful that you recognize God’s provision, though often  it’s not what you expect, or because it seems painful on the surface. Pray, keep an open mind, and open heart, and God Will Provide in your life. But most importantly, we’re remembering that God provided the Perfect Lamb, provided for our salvation, and provided the only way for us to get to heaven and spend eternity with Him

Romans 8:32

“Since God did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t God, who gave us Christ, also give us everything else?”
