Trusting in God's Provision: A Christian's Mindset

 In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it is easy to become consumed by worries about the future. As responsibilities pile up and obstacles loom large, it is natural to feel anxious about how we will make ends meet. However, as Christians, our faith calls us to approach these challenges with a different perspective—one rooted in trust and reliance on God's provision.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 6, verse 32, Jesus reminds us of the futility of worrying about our basic needs. He says, "For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them." These words serve as a powerful reminder that God is fully aware of our needs and is faithful to provide for us. As His children, we are called to trust in His goodness and faithfulness, even in the face of uncertainty.

The mindset of a Christian regarding God's provision is one of faith and trust. It is an acknowledgment that our Heavenly Father is not only aware of our needs but is also able and willing to meet them. This mindset is characterized by a deep sense of peace and contentment, knowing that we serve a God who cares for us deeply and has promised to sustain us in every circumstance.

One of the key ingredients of trusting in God's provision is gratitude. When we cultivate a spirit of gratitude in our hearts, we are reminded of the countless ways in which God has already provided for us in the past. This attitude of thankfulness paves the way for greater trust in God's faithfulness and opens our hearts to receive His blessings with joy and humility.

Moreover, trusting in God's provision requires us to prioritize our relationship with Him above all else. Jesus exhorts us to "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). By seeking God's kingdom above worldly concerns, we demonstrate our faith in His provision and align our hearts with His will for our lives.

In a world that values self-reliance and material wealth, the Christian's mindset of God's provision stands as a counter-cultural testament to the transformative power of faith. It is a resolute belief that our Heavenly Father is the ultimate provider, and that no matter what challenges we may face, He is faithful to sustain us and lead us through every trial.

This does not mean we would not still do the works we know to do like getting work that can pay our needs or running our businesses, it simply means we will do all these with the assurance that it is God that provides like Jesus once told the devil in Matthew 4:4 "...It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God..." simply meaning God sustains us!! He is our provider

As we meditate on the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:32, let us be reminded of the beauty and depth of God's love for us. Let us cast aside our anxieties and fears, knowing that we serve a God who is more than able to meet our every need. May our hearts be filled with gratitude and trust, as we embrace the profound truth that in God's provision, we lack nothing.

Finding a wife

Many times I see young men, young spiritual men saying that God will bring the a wife to them but they are not working actively in the will of God. they are not doing the father's business. how do they now expect God to go about searching for a wife for them when they are not doing the father's business.  Dear young man if you want to work according to the order of Adam then you must know that Adam was doing the father's business as was Isaac, you must actively work according to the father's will I don't just mean God Almighty as our father. Any father you have if you are focused on doing his will he will find you a wife one way or the other except he's not living according to the pattern of fatherhood. A father finds you a wife, if you don't have a father then ask the Father but know dear young man that you find the best wife when you let the father find you a wife. amen.

Studying Rightly

Hello guys, 2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Did you know that for years I have read this chapter and only related it to spiritual things?  I took it to mean that by studying God's word and the life of heroes of faith I do prove my love for God, and I was right.  It's just that this passage meant a lot more than just studying Spiritual stuff, the truth is that it applies to every part of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, academic, marital, psychological, and even physical aspects.  Putting it simply if people see that you have more knowledge or wisdom on all subject matters they respect you and admire you for it and they are already respecting and admiring God your maker indirectly.  They will try to find the source of your unique depth of knowledge, wisdom, charisma or whatever it is they find attractive about you at that point you can easily tell them it's all
