God’s word says in Habakkuk 2:2-3 to write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run that readeth it.for the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie; though it tarry, wait for it;because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Man was created to depend on God for provision, to always look to him for the supply of every need. And as believers, we’ve been called to be faithful stewards of the resources God entrusts to us, whether they be financial, spiritual gifts, talents, time, opportunities or other resources. You see brethren, trusting in God’s provision not only strengthens our faith but also enables us to fulfill our purpose in His kingdom.
More than any other thing, there’s a mighty supply of God’s provision in every vision that God gives you. One of the things God’s vision for your life does is that it will enlarge you. Why? Because God’s vision for your life transcends time and space. As you walk towards accomplishing it, it transforms your life and enables you to leave a deposit of the impact of it in the sands of time and eternity.
Now, it’s often said that when God gives a vision, he also gives the backing, support and provisions to fulfil it. God knows what we need, the kind of people, resources, influence and opportunities we need to accomplish His vision for our lives. Every vision God gives us as His ambassadors on earth places the responsibility on God to make every supply and provisions available for the vision, and to also preserve and protect the vision.
Ephesians 1:3 says “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.”
We begin to enjoy more of God’s provision for our lives and the vision He gives us as we obediently submit to His purpose for our lives. God has already prepared everything you’ll ever need in Christ before He created you, so that you can accomplish what He has created you to do. God is more than able and faithful to provide for your every need.
We learnt from the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ on earth how He submitted to the will of his father “God”.Jesus said not my will, but thine be done while he was in the garden of Gethsemene. Likewise, we must understandsubmitting to the will of God is crucial, if we truly desire to enjoy His provisions in our lives.
Philippians 4:19 says that he will supply our every need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
“God never gives a vision without a provision for it.”
In Matthew 6:31-33 (NLT), Jesus said, “So don’t worry about having enough food or drink or clothing. Why be like thepagans who are so deeply concerned about these things? Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and hewill give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.”
So, to begin to enjoy more of God’s provisions for your life and the assignment He has given you, you must seek to understand, believe and write down God’s vision for your life. And as you do so, God takes on His responsibility to help you accomplish them.
Oftentimes, the vision God gives us initially confounds us because He wants to make sure we don’t attempt to fulfill them without His help. The provisions for the vision He gives us is usually hidden until we begin to act on the vision and follow His leading. And then He releases them to us as as much as is needed per time and season.
Brethren, there’s prosperity in following God’s will, plans, purposes and vision for our lives. The obedience you give tothe vision of God for your life not only affects you but also those who God has called to work with you. When youfocus on doing what God has placed in your heart to do, every of your needs will always be taken care of. God is afaithful God and He delights in providing whatever we need. He knows how to get everything we need across to us.
In Matthew 6:33, the Bible says “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
We’re to understand that in our pursuit of fulfilling God’s vision for our lives, our heart must be grounded in His word and in expanding His kingdom on earth and not our selfish reasons. And we must have the confidence that there is no good thing that God will withhold from us if we walk uprightly, Psalms 84:11. So Brethren, trust that God will always supply all your needs according to His riches and glory, Phillipians 4:19.

Finally, let go of self-reliance and always recognize God as your ultimate provider. He is the one who provides for your needs and equips you for the work He has called you to do.
Seek God’s will in everything, prioritize God’s kingdom assignment upon your life above your own ambitions, trust that He will provide everything necessary to fulfill His plans.
Embrace and practice contentment by being satisfied with what God provides for you in each season of your life. When you cultivate a heart of gratitude and contentment, you can resist the temptation to hoard or strive for more unnecessarily. Instead, you’ll be able to focus on using the resources God gives you wisely and generously for the advancement of His kingdom on earth.
And in closing, keep stepping out in faith as God leads and directs you. This may involve stepping into unknownterritories, making sacrificial decisions, or embracing opportunities that seem beyond your capabilities. However,when you trust in God’s provision, you can always be confident that He will equip you and provide every necessaryresources you need to accomplish His purposes for your life.
I pray that you will continually trust in God’s vision and provision for your life and that you’ll faithfully use the resources He gives you for the advancement of His kingdom on earth. Shalom!
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Acts 20:32.
