PROVISION FOLLOWS EVERY VISION

I was taking a workshop a while back and a lady in the audience asked me a question. She said, "I know the purpose of God for my life but I can't follow it now because it cannot pay the bills. I don't want to become poor".

While I understand the genuineness of her question, I couldn't help but see through her ignorance.

Why am I sharing this with you?

Are you one of those people who believe that following the purpose of God will impoverish you?

I mean, you feel if you abandon everything and follow God, do you think God is not faithful enough to showcase His glory in your life?

Trust me, this is a question on the lips of many people.

I used to have this question too until I made a discovery that changed my life.

Peter asked Jesus a very important question in Mark 10:28. He said, "Excuse me, sir, "we have given up everything to follow you, what are we going to get?"

The answer Jesus gave is worth studying. He said, "There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life." [Mark 10:29-30]

God's promise is that if you pursue His kingdom, you will be both earthly and eternally rewarded.

No one follows God to become wretched and hungry.

Provision follows every vision God has given you.

While you will suffer persecution in His name for abandoning everything to follow Him because the world would not understand, be rest assured that God is faithful. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

That's why He said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you".

God wants to give you all that pertains to life and godliness but He requires that you follow Him fully, and wholeheartedly, without doubting His faithfulness in your life.

This is your word.

I believe in you.
