Topic: JEHOVAH JIREH

Memory Verse: Genesis 22:14 – And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovajireh: as it is said to this day, in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
Bible Reading: 1 Kings 17:12-16

Message: The name Jehovah Jireh means ‘The Lord will provide’. This means God’s provision is guaranteed. David described this truth in Psalm 23:1:

The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

My prayer is that this will be your experience too, in Jesus’ name. Our God is more than able to meet all our needs. Even today, the Lord will miraculously meet those needs that may be about to put you to shame, in Jesus’ name. David had multiple experiences of God’s provision and they reflect in his numerous Psalms. For example, he describes the Lord God as:

…A very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

God is always on time. If the Present Help in trouble had not shown up on time for the widow of Zarephath, as seen in our Bible text today, the story would have been like that of the woman who killed her child for food in 2 Kings 6:25-29. However, for Jehovah Jireh to come to your aid, you need to have the same spiritual conviction exhibited by the widow. One of her virtues is that she believed in the God of Prophet Elijah. She knew that the God Elijah served is alive. She knew what He could do. She trusted in Him completely and was thus able to obey Elijah’s instructions. Her obedience led to her receiving the blessing of multiplication. The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 20:20:

…Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Beloved, if we believe in this Great Provider, it will show in how we lead our lives. We would not doubt His promises and so would respond in faith to His directives. We would not be cutting corners in order to achieve things in life because the Bible says “…Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed” (Romans 10:11).

The God who provided for Abraham shall always be there for us. The widow in our story today was a woman of faith who believed in the God of Israel. She demonstrated this for the man of God. Do you hold God in high esteem? If you do, it will show in how you treat your Pastor and the words of his mouth. May Jehovah jireh be there for you always, in Jesus, name.

Hymn: In Christ Alone
Points: Father, you are the only One who can provide lot all my needs. Please send help to me today, In the mighty of Jesus.

Title: In Christ Alone.
Chorus: null.

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

  2. In Christ alone who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

  3. There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

  4. No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
