DELAYED PROVISION – Friday September 29th
2017
Memorise: The eyes of all wait
upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Psalm 145:15
Read: Daniel 10:7-13 (KJV)
10:7 And
I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the
vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide
themselves.
10:8 Therefore
I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in
me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no
strength.
10:9 Yet
heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then
was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10:10 And,
behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my
hands.
10:11 And
he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I
speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he
had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
10:12 Then
said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set
thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words
were heard, and I am come for thy words.
10:13 But
the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo,
Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with
the kings of Persia.
Bible in one year: Esther
8:10, Ezekiel 48:21-35, Hymn: Sing hymn 4
MESSAGE:
More
often than not, when a man receives provision before he or she has need for it,
wastage occurs. Such a fellow will entertain expenditures that are focused more
on unnecessary wants rather than on needs. This is why such an individual needs
wisdom, guidance and lots of self-denial or self-control. May you not waste
your provisions in Jesus’ Name! However, provision could also come at the time
of need. Open Heaven 29 September 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A.
Adeboye – Delayed provision. This type
of arrangement is preferred by some people because it eradicates the likelihood
of waste. According to Psalm 46:5, when God is your refuge, He will
always show up at the right time. He is never late! I pray that whatever
assistance you need will locate you as soon as the need arises in Jesus’ Name.

In
quite a number of situations, provision comes much after the day of need. This
is totally unacceptable because the purpose for which the provision is needed
is already defeated. Provision long after need is almost as bad as total
denial. When help, assistance or provision is not available in the time of
need, it will result in disappointment, feelings of rejection, shame and
disgrace, painful loss or even death. Do you know that many people who died in
some ghastly accidents could have survived if only they received help at the
time of the incident? There are some who survived for a few hours but later
gave up the ghost because they did not receive medical attention at the hour of
need.
Key Point:
One challenge of the rich is
that because they have enough to meet their needs, even for the next 10, 20 or
more years, their confidence is usually in their money and not in God.
