But my
God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus Phil 4:19
Some years ago, I learned a valuable destiny lesson from a woman I love and respect very much; I regard her as godmother; she was both spiritual mentor and my family because she is my father’s sister. She was in a needs condition, she needed financial aid, and I was visiting her then. I could do little or nothing as I was a student at the time.
She
barely had foodstuff at home, everywhere was dry, but she was hopeful and
believing in God’s miraculous provision; her words were ‘I trust the Lord, He
will provide for my needs.
That the same day, the Lord provided, someone visited her and didn’t come empty-handed, she
brought some foodstuff and some amount of money. For me, it served as a practical
faith moment; I learned again that God honors your faith in Him and I was
really glad about this.
Moments
later, mummy divided the foodstuff into two, she kept one and reserved the
other for a friend, in her words, ‘there’s a friend of mine who is in need’;
she visited the woman with the reserved half, still positing that the Lord will
supply her needs.
I
knew that it was good but I felt she hadn’t enough to give. When I was about to
leave her place, she brought the money she had received and said that we
would have to divide it, that I would not leave without receiving something
from her. I learned some lesson thenceforth, that you need not have a lot to
give, a talent is enough, and one with God matters a lot. I left wondering how
she would cope in the coming days. She called me the day after, telling me how the
Lord had provided some amount of money for her and how he had been taking care
of her.
She
is still doing fine in the Lord today and still depending upon Him to meet her
many needs, she is a seasoned minister of the gospel, and authors the devotional,
LOVING HIM DAILY. She is Mummy Gladys Abeke Adeleke.
This is great sermon. I learnt a lot from the woman
ReplyDelete1).She is a giver Luke6:38, when you give, you will received in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over
2). She is a cheerfully giver 2corrinthians9:7. When you give cheerfully be assured of abundance blessings
3). She is a generous giver proverb11:25. Generous person will prosper, whosoever refreshed others will be refreshed
4). She doesn't withhold good from those who deserve them proverb3:27. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act
5). She has big faith and pleases God, even when she has not see what she is believing God for, she remains unshakeable Hebrew11:1 says Now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. She believes it will happen and she got it
Heb11:6; But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God must believes that he is, and that he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him.
6).She is also a diligent woman
