The book ‘Rees Howells: Intercessor’ by Norman Grubb is an account of the life of one of the greatest intercessors in the 20th century.
Rees Howell enjoyed miraculous divine provisions in his walk with God
One of those times was when Rees received a vision to go and spread revival in a region in Africa.
When the time of departure arrived, after all other expenditures, he and his wife had only ten shillings left.
This money was not enough to enable them to buy tickets to London, from where they would board a ship to Africa. Yet, they trusted in God to provide.
Stepping out in faith, they bought a train ticket as far as the ten shillings could take them, which was twenty miles to the town of Llanellia.
Though some friends escorted them on the train trip to Llanelli, the Howells never told anyone of their need.
At Llanelli’s train station, Rees felt the Holy Spirit asking him to queue up at the booking office to buy tickets to London.
Though he had no money at all, yet he obeyed and stood in a queue of about 12 people. As it drew closer to his turn, the devil kept filling his mind with doubts, telling him he was about to grossly embarass himself since he had no money. But Rees stood in faith, believing God for a miracle. When there were only two men before him, one of the men suddenly stepped out of the queue and said he could no longer wait. He then pressed thirty shillings into Rees’ hand before leaving.
This money was enough for Rees to pay for the tickets.
After that, as if on cue, the friends who came with them to the train station also began to give them money gifts. Suddenly, from having nothing, Rees and his wife now had more than enough money for their journey.
This miracle was only a foretaste of what the Lord would do for them in the African mission field. There they saw greater miracles and experienced amazing revival in their missionary work..
Sometimes we may worry about how we are going to get through certain situations, but we have to learn to trust in God’s divine provision. God is not limited in how He will provide. He can raise help for you from unexpected quarters. God can use even strangers to favor you.
God is a father; who truly loves us and cares for us more than we can ever care for ourselves. This is why Peter said ‘Cast all your anxiety upon Him for He cares for you.’
No matter how urgent the need, always trust that God is moving supernaturally in your favour and your expectation shall not be cut short.
Just as the ravens fed prophet Elijah, God can use unconventional ways to meet your needs. The ravens did not come by chance, God commanded them to come to the prophet’s aid.
When God’s sends you on an assignment, you don’t have to worry about how your provisions will come. God can command blessings for you from any direction.
Jesus told His disciples to take no purse for your journey, because the provision will come as you pursue the vision.
You don’t have to have enough money before you strike out in doing what God has called you to do. . Faithful is He that called you who also will do it. What God has ordered He is able to pay for.
When we sincerely seek His kingdom first, He ensures divine additions and miraculous provisions follow us.
Therefore today, trust that, whatever is due you shall not be denied you. And though you may sometimes go through the fire and through water, God will eventually bring you into a wealthy place. Even right now, there is a shift taking place in your circumstances. Everything that has been a set-back and a hindrance is about to turn around for your good.
God will send supernatural overflow in your direction and cause blessings to chase you down. Doors of breakthrough will suddenly open up to you.
Where there was dryness you will experience overwhelming fruitfulness, crooked places shall be made straight and the hidden riches of secret places shall be given to you.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your miraculous provisions in my life. I know that even right now You are causing my cup to run over and exceeding all my expectations in Jesus Name. .
