Jehovah Jireh - The God that Supplies(Phillipians 4:19)
By Apostle Joshua Selman

Psalm 107:1-3

2 Cor 4:17-18

We must learn to see beyond our pain. If what you are seeing doesn’t look like what God has said, keep looking higher - usually your reality will keep changing until it becomes what God has said.

Philippians 4:19, 2 Corinthians 9:8

Jireh is an expression of the fatherhood of God - It depicts His willingness to supply all that is needed for the believer’s efficiency, progress and dominion - His readiness to supply.

Human’s have needs:

Spiritual, intellectual, emotional, health and vitality, economic and financial needs… etc.

When it has to do with the subject of riches, wealth and abundance there are 5 categories of people

1. Those with an unholy obsession for anything money and wealth
2. Those with a total disdain/resentment for anything money and wealth - They have no patience for such teachings
3. Those who have sincerely embarrassed God’s perspective of wealth and abundance and even understand its purpose, but lack the requisite knowledge to manifest it and make abundance a reality in their lives
4. Those who believe in wealth abundance and prosperity from a responsible kingdom standpoint. They understand its role, purpose and the dynamics of being and staying wealthy God’s way
5. Those who neither oppose the subject of wealth nor intentionally embrace it - they are indifferent.

The target for this teaching is for group 3 & 4

Our word is economically driven - meaning it takes having abundant financial resources to enjoy an honourable quality of life, fulfil your dreams and goals, advance God’s program on earth, to be a blessing…

Money is not everything but in the area where money serves nothing will replace it.

If you stay consistently, there are 3 things you must do:

You will tell lies, steal or and compromise.

In our world today, the man who is financially incapacitated is the man who remains a slave, he remains a victim - whether a nation or a continent.

The absence of financial resources can and will cripple any life, any vision and ultimately temper with the advancement of God’s program.

The starting point of every financial journey is to have an understanding that:

1. It is the will of God for everyone to prosper financiallyPsalm 35:27, Deuteronomy 8:18
2. You must believe that wealth and abundance is one of the blessings that come with loving and serving Jesus - not the reason we love and serve Him, but is a benefit Job 36:11
3. You can have abundant financial resources by knowing without knowing and loving the Lord, but there is peace, rest and fulfillment that only God can givePsalm 3:5
4. Wealth and abundance in the kingdom is a function of laws, human factors, divine empowerment and ultimately the help of God.
5. God does not decide who becomes wealthy or remains poorDeuteronomy 30:19-20
6. Kingdom wealth is not just about being a millionaire or a billionaire, it is about having sufficient supplies that meet your needs funds your assignment, fund God’s program and make you a blessing to your world

The tripartite expression of poverty

1. It is first a spirit - There is a real spirit assign to make men poor, they work by creating occurrences that hinder abundance, deplete any available finance, for instance: mysterious illnesses, events that lead to losses(accident, armed robbery, kidnapping)Luke 8:43, Luke 10:30-35
2. Then a mindset - Even when spirit leaves you, your mindset can bind you. In the message complete deliverance, after casting out the spirit influence then next thing is the deliverance by transformation.

   It is a self sabotaging belief example: “One day it will be better” - time does not change anything, time is a revealer

   Numbers 13:17 - 21&25 - 33, Numbers 14:1 - 11

3. And actions that lead to poverty - It programs you so that you keep making self destructive decisions, living a fake life.

   Why fake what can be real

   Get the messages:

   1. The mentality of a victor
   2. The power to get wealth
   3. Seasons of abundance

   You profit not off what you do, you profit off the mindset that supports what you do.

   Your mindset is the battery that powers your action

   Proverbs 14:23

   Laziness will always lead to poverty even if you are anointed.

The tripartite dimension of wealth and abundance

1. The power to get wealth - This is the spiritual side of wealth. It is an impartation that comes from the spirit of God that empowers you to be creative productive, to have strategy and to have the favour that makes finances work for youDeuteronomy 8:18

   The power to get wealth works in 3 areas of your life

   1. Your mind - unusual illumination
   2. The works of your hand - Strategies to make the works of your hand prosper
   3. Your feet for direction - Divine direction, so that your steps are ordered into the wealthy place.

   The same way the spirit of poverty programming catastrophes, when the power to get wealth comes upon a man, he literally becomes like a magnet.

2. There is a mindset that leads to wealth and abundance Proverbs 8:17 - 21, Proverbs 13:20

   1. Taking responsibility
   2. Diligence
   3. Delaying instant gratification

3. Actions and activities that manifest wealth and abundance Proverbs 14:23, Ecclesiastes 11:6, Ecclesiastes 11:2.

Wealth responds to value, productivity and solutions. And there are activities proverbs 13:11

Genesis 22:13 - 14

What does it take experience Jehovah Jireh

1. You must depend absolutely on God as your source.

   Psalm 34:5&6, Proverbs 3:5&6

   Men are channels, only God is the source.

2. You must work in total obedience to God’s word and God’s demand.

   Deuteronomy 28:2, 29:9, Isaiah 1:19

   You must be willing and obedient to: be a giver, commit to prayer, contend for knowledge and wisdom, valuable, excellent, delay gratification, sacrifice(time, energy and resources), build relationships, be frugal with your finances, invest.

3. You must engage the mystery of sacrifice. Sacrifice of your time, energy and resources in serving God’s interest and investing for a glorious future.

   Genesis 22:11-12

4. You must desire to see God’s vision and program advance and you must subscribe to be a part.
