Open Heavens 16th September 2017 Bible Reading: Luke 15:11-16

Luk 15:11 And he said, A certain man had two Sons

Luk 15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living

Luk 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living

Luk 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land, and he began to be in want

Luk 15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

Luk 15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

Open Heavens 16th September 2017 Message

In life, some people experience provision before they ever need it, while some get provision the nick of time. Some others only get the provision they need after the time of need is past.

One Bible character who experienced provision before need is the prodigal son in today’s Bible reading. All he would ever need was already provided for and safely kept by his father.

Nevertheless, what was his response to his father’s wisdom and grace?

Open Heaven Devotional

He foolishly asked for all that was his, and he wastefully spent it all. Luke 15:13 says,

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous may you never waste God’s provision for your life There are so many people who engage in wasteful spending.

There are some people God has blessed with the funds to buy a piece of land, which they can develop as God enables them, but they use the provision to

acquire a flashy car or attempt to live big while they are still in a rented apartment. This amounts to foolishness.

There are some youths who get some big money from legitimate ventures, but because they had no financial intelligence and never sought counsel, they wasted it and struggled thereafter. (open heaven)

“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

Ecclesiastes 10:10

To manage financial provision, you need wisdom. In fact, the scripture above says that you can get results from a cutlass whether it is sharp or blunt the difference is that wisdom helps you make the best decisions to obtain the best results.

If you have financial wisdom, you would avoid wasteful spending and increase

whatever you have. Do you have financial resources beyond what you need for the moment?

Ask God for wisdom to manage it. Also, ask for guidance. Follow the counsel in today’s memory verse: ask those who know better.

Ask from experienced fund managers and people skilled in financial investments. More importantly, find out from God, the provider of that provision, what the purpose of the provision is.

If you can diligently ask Him, He will guide you on how to spend it in such a way as to guarantee repeated provision.

You do not need to spend on every item you see or like. Humbly surrender your desires to God and let Him reign over them.
