God’s Supply Is At The Place Of His Assignment

At our December Board meeting, we were sharing a principle from the Scriptures that affects, not only every Christian organization seeking to advance the Kingdom of God, but also our lives as individual believers.

The principle can be stated this way—God’s supply is at the place of His assignment for us. There are a number of scriptures that illustrate this divine principle. Let us just consider one.

We find the incident in 1 Kings 17. “Then Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab, ‘As surely as the Lord God of Israel lives—the God whom I worship and serve—there won’t be any dew or rain for several years until I say the word.’ Then the Lord said to Elijah, ‘Go to the east and hide by Cherith Brook [the place of assignment]… Drink from the brook and eat what the ravens bring you, For I have commanded them to feed you.’ [the promise of supply] …The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening [ the fulfillment of the promise] …But after a while the brook dried up…Then the Lord said to him, ‘ Go and live in the village of Zarephath [the place of assignment]…There is a widow there who will feed you. I have given her my instructions…[the promise of supply]…For no matter how much they used, there was always plenty left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised …[ the fulfillment of the promise] (vss. 1-16, THE LIVING BIBLE. Emphasis added.).

God’s supply is at the place of His assignment for us. Wherever the pillar of cloud leads the manna will fall. “And it is he who will supply all your needs from his riches in glory, because of what Christ Jesus has done for us” (Philippians 4:19, THE LIVING BIBLE).
