ON THE MOUNT OF NEED; THERE SHALL BE PROVISION - Breaking Needs Series 004
Read Genesis 22:1-14
Genesis 22:8, KJV
"8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together."
You see, I have known practically and by experience that there's a "mount of need." Mind you, I'm not speaking of the "mount of the Lord." Don't mix it at all. What's the mount of need? The mount of need is the climax of being in want. That's when desiring a particular thing is hot and is the hottest. I told Minister Adekunle Folarin one day that the time I exercised my faith the most was when I needed to pay my school fees on campus and had no hope. As a matter of fact, I was almost becoming a drop out until the Lord intervened to stop that ongoing orchestrated process of Satan. At that time, I had no one to bank on but God and faith. It was while I was exercising faith, God rose hope of being financed through scholarship for me from a particular quarters I later learnt of. People of God, there's a mount, climax, pinnacle or peak of need. It is when you either focus on God or you remain hopeless and eventually disgraced. You know it's wisdom to know where to turn to if all you know to work aren't working. So, I turned to faith. I began to intentionally and specifically listen to messages of faith and confess scriptures that only had to do with provision. I did for days until somebody told me to submit my transcript and ID Card. That's how I paid school fees without lobbying or asking any person for help. My matter was talked about coincidentally at a gathering and from there, it was picked up by this good Samaritan. But I wouldn't forget the labour that went into being noticed though I never promoted or lobbied for anything physically. That's why today, I say, "be noticed for divine help." It may be that you'll have to be spoken of lowly for you to be picked up and remembered. It doesn't matter whether you're described with your problems. What matters is that God uses those people's mouths to sell you to he or those who have been capacitated to meet your needs.
At the mount of need, a man gets where his life depends on getting that need met. There's no going back. If going back should happen, it would mean the loss of three years of tertiary education at my dropping out. I thank God that while my need reached its peak, God came through for me. And from experience, the greatest exercise of faith don't come when we have nothing to pull faith with but rather when we look round and see our weaknesses and that we have been deserted by all and so forced or put under necessity to exercise faith in the face of impossibilities. That's when the Lord will step in to pick us up. It is that which makes the Bible portion like this below to find expression and fulfilment.
Psalms 27:10, KJV
"10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up."
Your father and your mother there are the closest help you can ever get in reality. They're the most compassionate people you could ever have. Even if those ones who are naturally committed that way to you get incapacitated, at that height, mount, climax and peak of need where the deep of faith is calling to the deep of what you need in hot desire, your need can't but be met. This is the kind of situation God will allow some in to show His glory so that they might believe Him as the Jehovah Jireh.
Today, I pray that God will create a situation for you to test, grow and mature your faith. Faith is like a muscle. Body builders in the physical have it more. As we exercise, we become immortals of faith and believe, "all things are possible" and that "on the mount of need", God shall break forth like a flood (Baelperazim - II Samuel 5:20) to meet our needs. Receive that!
PRAYER: I exercise my faith for needs and superfluous needs in my life. I'm aided on the mount of need.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Ezekiel 40:28-41:26; James 4:1-17; Psalm 118:19-29; Proverbs 28:3-5
