Message
Everything you see on earth originates from God - even those that were manufactured by man. This means that God is in control of all resources on earth. says, “The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein”.
Whatever anyone has was given to him or her by God. That uncle you are depending on to help pay your school fees is only a vessel in the hands of God; he is not your provider. If your hope is in him and he were to lose his source of livelihood tomorrow, what would you do? Man cannot be depended on at all; only God can provide for you in any situation or circumstance.
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Every good and perfect gift comes from God (). Put your trust in Him for the provision of all your needs and you will see Him meeting them one after the other. Before you seek help from any human being, ask God. Talk to Him and let Him be the One to direct you to whoever He has ordained to help you. David understood this, so he said, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.”

What do you need to do to keep enjoying the provision of God? Be generous. If you are stingy, remember that you will receive in the same measure you give. Jesus taught us in that when you give, men will in turn, give unto you.
In other words, do not expect to receive if you don’t give. This principle is simple and easy to understand. Give to the poor (), to them that are of the household of God (), to the Lord ().
Remember, God is your only source and giving according to His will opens up avenues to receive good and perfect gifts from Him.
