More Than Enough

The past couple of weeks, God has really been showing me that He is our provider.  Some people do not ask God because they do not want to be selfish.  They feel like they can manage on their own.  So, they do not ask the Lord to meet their needs.  But is it ever selfish to ask your parents for help?  No.  And God is our Heavenly Father, who loves us even more than our earthly parents.  He wants to provide for us.  All we need to do is ask.  And He has more than enough resources, money, influence, etc. to meet our every need.  The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:19, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus.”  And let me assure you, “His riches and glory” are without bound.  They are endless.  Thus, He can provide for you, your family, your neighbors, their families, their neighbors…and the list goes on.  He can provide for the entire world and still not run out!

A man called me 2 Sundays ago.  He said that he was afraid of losing his job due to the recession.  He had interview and applied many places, but the doors were just not opening.  We prayed.  The next day he SMSed me and told me that he got a call from a company that he had interviewed with several weeks back had called him for a lunch meeting on Tuesday.  There had been no developments for 2-3 weeks, but as soon as we prayed, things started to happen.   And after the lunch meeting, he SMSed me again to tell me that the company had promised to give him an offer letter within 2 days!  He needed a job…and the Lord provided.

A few days after that, a lady called me from Meerut.  She said that he daughter had applied for a visa to go to the UK, but they were not getting any response.  Things didn’t look good.  But we prayed.  The next day, she called and told me that her daughter got the visa!  Her daughter needed a visa…and the Lord provided.

A few days after that, a lady called from near Banaras.  She was crying.  Her son was going through an unexpected and bitter divorce (the daughter-in-law had an affair with a co-worker).  Her daughter-in-law had a very good lawyer and the odds were stacked against them.  The lady was worried that her son would lose his life’s savings and his one-year-old daughter.  We prayed.  Just a few days ago the lady called me back and said that her son, who had been in severe depression was feeling better, and the court had made unexpected preliminary rulings in her son’s favor.  Her son needed a miracle…and God provided.

A few days later, we were at the marketplace where we pray for people.  As I was talking to a girl, she mentioned that due to financial difficulties she was not going to be able to go home for Eid.  She had just called her parents that morning to inform them that she would be unable to come home.  She was very disappointed, as were her parents.  “Why don’t we pray and ask Jesus to provide the finances so you can go home?” I asked her.  Her eyes lit up and she agreed.  We prayed.  The next morning she called me bright and early.  She was so excited.  Jesus had heard our prayers.  Someone had unexpectedly sent her money and she was going to be able to go home and surprise her family!  This girl needed money…and God provided.

The same day that I pray with this girl, I received an SMS from a friend.  He wrote and told me that he had been playing snooker with his friends.  He said that his friend always wins.  For the first time my friend prayed to Jesus and asked Him for help.  And to his amazement, he won the game on the very next shot!  My friend wanted victory…and God provided. (Jesus not only gives us what we need, but He even blesses us with our wants and desires!)

Today, if you have a need (or a desire), ask Jesus.  No matter what your need is, when you turn to Him, you will find supply.  He has more than enough in His storehouse!
