FAITH FOR MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL PROVISION
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa
INTRODUCTION
Faith is needed for our daily living.
Faith is the master key to a triumphant life.
Faith is the atmosphere of God — the realm in which He operates.
God does not honor anything except by faith.
Anything done outside of faith is unacceptable to God.
God desires to supply all your needs.
Even if you have money physically, spiritual transactions still require faith (e.g., buying a car by faith).
UNDERSTANDING THE LIFE OF FAITH
1. We Are the Seed of Abraham
By redemption, we are connected to Abraham’s covenant blessings.
📖 Genesis 17:1–7 — God’s covenant with Abraham flows to his spiritual seed.
Therefore, the covenant of provision belongs to us.
2. You Must See God as a God of Abundance
📖 Hebrews 13:8 — God never changes. If He provided before, He will provide again.
UNDERSTANDING THE SOURCE OF OUR PROVISION
Jehovah Jireh — Genesis 22:14
Jehovah Jireh reveals two powerful truths:
God sees your need and makes provision ahead of time.
God provides miraculously — supernatural supply.
📖 Isaiah 65:24 — Before you call, He answers.
God Is the Source — The Rock
We must trust in “the God of supply.”
He is the unending source that never runs dry.
TRACK RECORD OF GOD’S SUPPLY
God has a proven history of supernatural provision:
Manna for 3 million people for 40 years
Provision for the widow of Zarephath
📖 1 Kings 17:8–16 — It will not finish.
📖 Hebrews 11:2 — The elders obtained a good report through faith.
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR FAITH TO SUPERNATURAL SUPPLY
1. Do Not Worry
Worry cancels God’s power in your life.
2. Believe in God’s Supernatural Ability to Provide
Heaven has divine storehouses.
3. Maintain a Close Walk With God
Relationship with God attracts provision.
Holiness leads to prosperity.
📖 Genesis 39:2–3 — The Lord was with Joseph.
4. Follow Divine Direction & Obey Instructions
Every blessing from God carries a specific instruction.
📖 Psalm 23:1 — The Lord leads; provision follows.
5. Be Diligent in Your Work
The covenant provides for diligent workers.
📖 Proverbs 10:4 — Hard work leads to profit.
“For every labor, there is profit.”
6. Confess, Decree, and Speak Abundance
What you speak determines what you experience.
📖 Proverbs 18:21 — If you don’t speak, you’re not expressing life.
7. Live by the Covenant Practice of Seedtime and Harvest
The Abrahamic covenant is activated through giving.
“It is better to owe your problem than to owe God.”
CONCLUSION
God wants to supply all your needs, but it requires faith, obedience, diligence, and covenant practice.
Faith is not just for spiritual matters — it is the key to material and financial provision.
As you believe, speak, obey, and sow, you position yourself for supernatural supply.
