YHWH-JIREH [THE LORD WHO PROVIDES]


"And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen." – Genesis 22:14


During the break at church, God had me open Deuteronomy 8:3 and he began to Minister to me about the Israelites and how for forty years they were in the wilderness and God allowed them to go hungry and fed them to change their captive minds and to move them into a time when they understand that God's system of operations is no the same as the world's system of operations. The world says you need a job to survive, but God says you need a blessing from me to live an ABUNDANT LIFE. He hungered them to make humble. God wanted to show them through manna and quail that HE WAS DOING SOMETHING NEW in their lives, their previous channel of provision was dependent on the EGYPTIAN ECONOMY AND WAY OF LIVING, BUT GOD WAS INTRODUCING A NEW HEAVENLY ECONOMIC SYSTEM IN WHICH HE WILL BE THEIR SOLE PROVIDER. He wanted them to understand that PROVISION DOESN'T BELONG TO ANY MONETARY SYSTEM [WORLDLY SYSTEM], BUT IT BELONGS TO GOD, HENCE WE CALL HIM JEHOVAH-JIREH [YHWH-JIREH], THE LORD MY PROVIDER. So in so doing they can PRAY TO GOD, WHO NOT ONLY NOURISHES THEM SPIRITUALLY BUT ALSO PHYSICALLY!

"Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not." - Exodus 16:4 

"I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, 'At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'"

GOD SEEKS TO PROVIDE NEW THINGS TO HIS CHILDREN, NEW IDEAS FOR BUSINESS, NEW WORK PLANS, NEW HOUSES, NEW CARS, EVERYTHING NEW THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER HAD, ALL THIS CAN BE RECEIVED WHEN YOU RELY ON GOD AS YOUR SOLE PROVIDER.
