PROTECTING YOUR SPIRITUAL PROVISIONS

  Text: Genesis 26:12-25 

 

 Memory verse:  Philippians 4:19

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

 

As believers, we are called to recognize that God has promised to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. These provisions, however, are not only physical but deeply spiritual. God desires for us to experience abundance not just in material things but in peace, joy, wisdom, and a deep relationship with Him. The question is: how do we protect these spiritual provisions from the enemy's attacks?

In Genesis 26, we read about Isaac, who inherited his father Abraham's wells of blessing. These wells represented God’s provision, a source of life in the midst of famine. However, the Philistines filled these wells with earth, symbolizing efforts to block access to God’s blessings. Just as Isaac was determined to re-dig the wells and restore the flow of water, we too must protect our spiritual provisions. The enemy often tries to block our access to peace, joy, and the flow of the Holy Spirit through distractions, sin, and spiritual laziness. We must be vigilant and intentional about preserving our spiritual well-being. Isaac's persistence in re-digging the wells of his father speaks to the importance of perseverance. In the face of opposition, Isaac did not give up; instead, he pressed on until he found peace and prosperity. Similarly, we must continue in prayer, even when it feels like we are facing opposition. Our faith must be steadfast, trusting that God will provide spiritual nourishment even in times of hardship. Philippians 4:19 reminds us that God’s provision is not limited by circumstances; He supplies according to His riches in glory.

We must also recognize that spiritual provision requires spiritual warfare. Ephesians 6:12 tells us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil. The enemy seeks to block our access to the wellspring of life, our relationship with God and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Protecting our spiritual provisions involves resisting the temptations, lies, and distractions that seek to divert us from God's will. We need to put on the full armour of God, so we can stand firm in His truth and maintain our access to spiritual resources. You must ensure that your wells are filled with God’s Word. Just as water is vital to physical life, the Word of God is essential to spiritual life. Daily devotion, meditation, and application of Scripture keeps our wells overflowing with spiritual nourishment. The more we fill our hearts and minds with God’s promises, the more we protect the provisions He has made for us.

God has provided us with everything we need for life and godliness. However, we must actively guard and protect these spiritual provisions. Through prayer, perseverance, spiritual warfare, and the Word of God, we can ensure that the wells of life remain open, flowing, and abundant. Let us protect our spiritual provisions with all diligence, trusting in God’s faithfulness to supply all our needs according to His glorious riches. Amen.

 

 

 

 

  CGDS HYMN 79   By Apostle James Abache

GUARDING MY SPIRITUAL PROVISION

1. Lord, You have given me life so true,

In Your abundance, my soul is renewed,

You’ve promised to supply all my needs,

In Your rich grace, my heart takes heed.

I’ll guard what You’ve given, my peace and my joy,

For in Your provisions, I shall not destroy.

 

Refrain:

Protecting my spiritual provision,

I stand in faith, with firm decision,

With prayer and trust, I’ll hold it tight,

Your Word my shield, in darkest night.

In the wells of Your grace, I’ll always stay,

Guarding my provisions, day by day.

 

2. The enemy comes to steal and deceive,

But in Your power, I will not grieve,

I’ll fight the battles with prayer and might,

Clothed in Your armour, in Your holy light.

Though trials may come, and wells may be blocked,

I’ll dig them again, in You, I’m rock locked.

 

3. I’ll fill my well with Your holy Word,

In the living waters, I’ll be stirred,

Your promises true, they cannot fail,

In You, my soul shall always prevail.

I’ll fight with love, and faith that’s strong,

In Your provisions, I belong.

 

Outro:

Lord, in Your strength, I’ll stand and pray,

Guarding my provisions, each new day.
