"give us this day, our daily bread"...6

                                                         The Spirit-Life Coach

Premised on the principles of faith and Divine provisions as seen in the Sabbath Days we intend to launch into the deep as it relates to our rest in the God who is more than enough for our needs. We look into His heart full of love for us and into His hands full of works done to meet our needs. For He said “touch my hands and see the holes in there”. The holes came because He would provide for us…because of this we can look to Him and say…’give us this day, our daily bread’…and then go rest…knowing that those hands have gone to work…on our behalf.

                                                                           

                                         'GIVE US THIS DAY,OUR DAILY BREAD..'!..6

I will like us to back-up a little to the earlier verses of the passage we in the last edition of the message.

Exo 16:15  And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

Exo 16:16  This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

Exo 16:17  And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

Exo 16:18  And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

Moses said, this is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. You will see that in Exodus 16;15

This is one serious matter I pray the Lord helps all His servants and children to understand. It centers on KNOWING THE BREAD IN SEASON. We must know what the Lord is giving to us at any particular season of our lives otherwise we run the risk of murmuring and complaining against God and then bringing upon our own lives destructive forces which may consume our finances and even that which we have on ground.

Identifying that which the Lord is giving to us for now will help us keep calm in the face of temptations to steal or to disobey God in some other ways in order to get a hold of what surely He has not provided.

Most of our problems today have arisen from the false application of the believer’s authority. While I agree that we have spiritual powers which may be activated by using the name of Jesus I will also like to submit to the fact that that authority stops where the will of the Lord for our lives at the moment stops. Most believers have not realized this.

We have falsely been taught that God will do whatever we want anytime we want it as long as we wield the mention of the name. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Remember when the Lord Jesus was with the people in the wilderness? He wanted to feed the people. Did you notice that He only multiplied that which the Lord supplied and that He did not create varieties of dishes? The disciples saw a child with his lunch pack; to them that was so insufficient to even be counted on to meet the need at hand. But then the Lord saw it as that which His heavenly Father has graciously provided.

So must we also always come to terms with that which the Lord gives us for the season! We must allow our appetites to stay through with that which the Lord gives us per time.

This principle applies in all areas of our lives. Whether its in the car we ride or the house in which we live. We must know that the Lord is in charge of our lives and therefore come into rest. James says wherefore cometh wars and ....among you? And then he rightly concluded that its from our lusts to have things that we do not already have.

Lusts arise when we begin to desire that which is against divine order. That is the Divine order for our own lives. Oh God! What debts would we have avoided! What unnecessary heart problems would  we have escaped! What troubles would we have averted! Only if we had been content with that which the Lord supplies to us for the season.

Someone may then ask, how then do I move to the next level? My answer is that the Lord knows that time and the next level and He will open the doors for us to enter into the next season of our lives.

We will not have to struggle and fight for it, He will usher us in. He will indicate where the door is and if there is an enemy over that possession He will give us the strategy to dethrone that adversary.
