“The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all” – Psalms 103:19

God’s providence is a statement that declares God’s oversight and sovereignty over the world. God’s providence means that; He upholds all things; governs all events; He directs everything to its appointed end. He does that all the time and in every circumstance. Therefore, He does it always for his glory.

However, sometimes, we encounter a situation that suggests that God may not be in control. That happens majorly when we become weighed down due to tests and trials. A similar situation played out in the case of John the Baptist when in suffering, he inquired of Jesus if he was the true Messiah (Ref: Luke 7:18-23).

There is no doubt that most believers are not living in God’s promises. That, in itself, has been a source of worry to many, including pastors and prayer ministries. Why is that so? The reason is that we aren’t flowing with divine providence. I.e., we do not agree with God and His principles of wealth and abundance.

God is Spirit, but He has created a physical world for us to see and to live in. The world and everything therein remain alive because God keeps it alive and together by His Spirit for the survival of mankind. What we need to do is to come into agreement with God and His principles by doing the following:

– Embrace good work, and ask God to prosper our endeavours.

– Be obedient to God’s commandments.

– Live by faith, believing that your works will prosper.

– Forgive willingly and abhor all bitterness.

– Make good choices and take responsibility for your life.

– Uplift others and be generous to them.

– Make regular offerings on God’s altar.

– Let everything we do speak of the glory of God

Today’s word tells us to cast all our cares and worries upon the Lord by flowing in His providence. When we flow in divine providence and agree with God and His principles, God will take care of our needs and everything He caters to. God will talk to us, and we will become alive by His Spirit; Whatever the enemy does will become a tool in the hands of God to prosper us. Providence gives us the courage to keep going in hard times. With providence, each of our activities will fall into place just at the right moment, and we prospered according to His word.

PRAYER

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, today, I redirect my focus to flow in your sustaining and creative power. Therefore, I declare every broken piece of my life is fixed now. Lord, I declare every rough edge in my relationship is smoothened now. Father, every work of my hands henceforth shall testify of thy glory. AMEN.
