Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 12, Day 2: Monday, 20th March, 2023. TOPIC: VISION AND PROVISION 9: Provision Time Frame

“7. And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

8. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

9. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.”

Yesterday, we discussed “Provision is Timely”. We got to know that, one can miss the provision if care is not taken. Missing a ladder might not be easy to recover, it needs enough strenght to keep moving on. Today, we’re talking about different time frame for Provision. For every Vision given by God, there are many Provisions attached to time. There are;

Short Time Provision, 

Long Time Provision, 

Lasting Time Provision and 

Ministry Attracted Provision. We shall be studying these one after the other.

Short time provision. An example was where we studied yesterday, Elijah being fed by the raven at the brook. It’s a short time provision. This may be ‘men provision’ or ‘material provision’. When you share or kick up with your vision, these are people that stood by you, encouraged, motivated, supported you financially or materially. They stood by you for that moment and after a while, they zoomed off, you begin to think of what happened between you and them. Some ministry or company kicked off and started manifesting, then things just began to go down because some members or staff left, some support or help began to withdraw, not because you miss handled or miss managed them all, lots of these are short time provision which we needed to have utilized rightly.

Short time provision makes way for other provision. That provision you have now, utilized them well, you can’t say if they are short time provision. The bible said, 

“And it came to pass after a while, *that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.”* 1 Kings 17:7.

That brook may dry soon, profit from it now.

Good day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
