Bible Reading : Matthew 6:28-30 TPT. Key Verse: v 30.
“And why would you worry about your clothing? Look at all the beautiful flowers of the field. They don’t work or toil, and yet not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed in beauty more than one of these! So if God has clothed the meadow with hay, which is here for such a short time and then dried up and burned, won’t he provide for you the clothes you need—even though you live with such little faith?
Here we see one of the longest teaching Christ gave in the course of his earthly ministry assignment, where he touched on many issues that bothers on our relationship with God our creator. In this section of his teaching he was trying to help us learn to depend on God in whatever we do. One of the first thing we need to understand here about depending on God or living by faith as the case may be is that faith is a Spirit . No man walking in human wisdom or his senses can exercise God’s kind of faith . It is a path exclusive meant for men who have become used to interacting with spirits which helps them tap into informations or knowledge that are not available to ordinary men. These exclusive knowledge helps them take decisions or steps that stands them out from among common men in their generation. “We have the same Spirit of faith that is described in the Scriptures when it says, “First I believed, then I spoke in faith.” So we also first believe then speak in faith. We do this because we are convinced that he who raised Jesus will raise us up with him, and together we will all be brought into his presence.” 2 Corinthians 4:13-14.
Men of faith are therefore men that have mastered the art of living in God’s presence and interacting with his Spirit. Elijah was such a man, that was the reason he could boldly make decrees concerning a whole nation simply as a man that stands before God or a man that lives his life in God’s presence, his earthly location notwithstanding. “And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” 1 Kings 17:1 KJV. Another important fact I want us to note here is that faith in God that wards off every worries, circumstances notwithstanding is always a product of devotion. You can’t exercise such level of reliance on an entity you don’t have any serious commitment to or you have not been able to understand his character over a period of time, which on the other hand builds unwavering trust. “The confidence of my calling enables me to overcome every difficulty without shame, for I have an intimate revelation of this God. And my faith in him convinces me that he is more than able to keep all that I’ve placed in his hands safe and secure until the fullness of his appearing.” 2 Timothy 1:12.
Today God is asking us to dare to step out of our comfort zone to learn to live in his presence and to depend on him, being assured of his love and genuine commitment to our well being daily. He wants us to re-order our priorities aright to align with his desire, standard and purpose, so that we can always enjoy the flow of his abundant provisions meant for those who love and trust him in everything they do. We have to learn that anywhere worry rules, faith in God is absent. Be careful anytime worries wants to overtake you, it is a serious indicator that the Spirit of faith is no more at work and that you have resorted to living by your human senses and understanding. Again, the key to divine sustainance and flow of provisions always goes the direction of men who make it a duty to prioritise seeking God’s kingdom and it’s righteousness in their lifetime.
Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus because no man following you fails in life. Today, help me order my priorities aright in a manner that pleases you. Let your Spirit of faith rule my life. I want to live in your presence all my days as to enjoy unhindered flow of your interventions in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
