God honours Faith

Thursday 19 November
READ: Hab. 11:1-2
MORE LESSON: Rom 10: 38

Bible says that the just shall live by faith. (Hab 2: 4, Rom 1: 17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10: 38). God is all you need and He will never fail you. When God gives you an assignment, He expects you to trust Him for the consignment. When He gives you a vision, you need to have faith in Him for the provision. There is the great hero of faith, George Mueller, who founded an orphanage and gathered children who did not have parents in large number and he was feeding and educating them. He had nothing and no government support of whatever kind; he lived by faith and took care of the children by faith in God, and God never failed him. One day in the orphanage, there was nothing to eat and the children were at the table waiting for him to give them food.

One thing about children is that they are not interested in whether daddy has money or not, they don't want to know how mummy gets food into the kitchen, all they care to know is that when it is meal time, there must be something on the table. The children sat around the table and were ready to eat and the man of God didn't have anything to give them. The man of God went to the table and told the children, 'let us pray'. He started to bless the meal and the children were excited that there was food, but actually he knew there was nothing. Immediately they finished praying, a man knocked at the door. He opened and it was a dairy farmer transporting fresh milk in a truck to be sold in town. The truck broke down in front of the building. He did all he could but when the vehicle would not start, he was left with no other option than to leave it and go back to the farm. He looked to his side and saw there was an orphanage there. Fresh milk goes bad if left unused for a period of time. In other to avoid the milk wasting, he decided to donate the milk to them.

They immediately blessed the milk and distributed it to the children on the table. As they were thanking God, another man ran in and said, 'I have a bakery and today, a great burden came over me to bring bread to this orphanage. Please I'm sorry if I came late'. He gave them bread and left. The man of God had already blessed the meal before it arrived so they just shared the food and the children had a nice breakfast of fresh milk and hotly baked bread. 
God honours faith. When God commits a vision to you, He will definitely make provision for it. Today is the day to step out on that kingdom assignment that God has told you to do, knowing fully well that He will make provision for its fulfilment. Have faith in God.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God for faith to face impossibilities.
* Declare to God that you will never doubt him.
* Tell God that you trust Him to set a table in the desert at no cost.
* Proclaim that this year will not end without a divine provision for you.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
In the name of Jesus, I refuse to continue to labour under a closed heaven.
