Definition of Provide:
Jehovah Jireh, meets
all of our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus, owns the
cattle on a thousand hills, supply never runs dry, source of all wealth and
prosperity, prepares mansions for us. We are Abraham’s seed, and heirs
according to the promise.
Wealth and land is one
of the blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant. You have to call it in by faith.
And you have to obey the Lord in giving generous tithes and offerings, and then
He promised that He would pour out such a blessing that you would not have
enough room to contain it all.
Surely blessing I will
bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. Deliver, offer, afford, make
available, arrange for, be responsible for, keeper, feed, finance, prepare,
protect. Gives us a bountiful portion. Lavishes us with good things. Every good
and perfect gift comes from the Father above.

Shepherd and I shall not be in lack. We don’t have to struggle financially with
God on our side.

into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be

18
[Charge them] to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal and generous
of heart, ready to share [with others],

John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things
that you would prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
