Isaiah 1: 19 KJV ‘if you be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land , but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured’

DAILY READING; 2 Corinthians 9; 2 Kings 22:1-23:35; Nahum 3

Charles Fox Parham is often referred to as the “Father of Modern Day Pentecostalism” because of his enormous impact on the development of Pentecostal faith in America. He is also the founder of the Apostolic Faith Movement.
Parham was a man of great faith, who had an outstanding love for God.
He ran a Bible school where he always trusted God to provide the needed financial support. In the school, there were no charges for board or tuition yet the poor students were fed, housed and taken care of.
The school freely welcomed all ministers and Christians. But it was a faith venture, where each student trusted God for their provision. Despite the great financial burden, God always miraculously provided for the ministry and they suffered no lack.
Once, after a hard day of ministering, Parham realized the rent for their building was due the next morning and he didn’t have the money to meet it. Tired and weary, he looked to the sky and told the Lord that he must have rest and that he knew God wouldn’t fail him in providing the rent.
The next morning, a man showed up and told Parham “I was suddenly awakened with the thought of you and your work; no sleep came to me until I promised to bring you this.” He handed over to Parham the exact sum needed for the rent.
Another time, Parham only had a partial sum to pay on a bill that was due. So he set out to the bank to pay what he had and while on the way, he passed an acquaintance who handed him some money. When Parham got to the bank, he found the money was the exact amount he needed to pay the bill in full.

While these stories may sound incredible, like Parham, when we sincerely serve God and put our trust in Him we will see His miracles in our finances, health, family and all other areas.

We must understand that serving God is a covenant.
God has not called the sons of Jacob to seek Him in vain. He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Exodus 23:25 says ‘Ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. ‘

God’s wonders and miraculous provisions are reserved for those who love and serve Him.

1Cor. 2:9 says “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him”.

God has great and amazing things laid up for those who genuinely love Him. This was exemplified in the life of King Solomon. The secret to all of Solomon’s wealth and exploits was because he loved the Lord. Loving God and obeying His commandments positions us into realms of abundance forever.

Psalms 112:1-3 says ‘Blessed is the man that fears the Lord and delight greatly in God’s commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: his generation shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness shall endureth forever.’

The reward of our service continues to many generations after us.
Today, through the Blood of Jesus, we are still enjoying the blessings of Abraham, thousands of years after his faithful service to God.
Indeed our love for God and our service in His Kingdom, is key to all that we need in life.

Job 36:11 says ‘If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.’

Seeking God and His kingdom first has to be the priority in our lives if we are to see His wonders.
Indeed the place of God in our heart determines our placing upon the earth.
When the foundation of the love of God is in place, then other things will be added to us.
You cannot love God and end up a loser. Every lover of God is a star in the making. Every lover of God is highly favored and ends up as a pacesetter.
God is no respecter of persons but is rich unto all who call upon Him. As we love God wholeheartedly and obey Him, certainly we will enjoy His amazing provisions and experience His wonders without number in every area of our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, please I need the fresh anointing of love for You in my life. Please help me to make You priority in all that I do. May my heart always pant after You and the affairs of Your Kingdom in Jesus Name.
