Fall Afresh On Me - New Creation Worship Colossians 2:5 - Sitting at Jesus’ feet to receive from Him is the most important thing to do each day. Our spiritual feeding on Sundays sets the tone for the rest of the week. “For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:5 WEB) In Luke 24, Jesus expounded the Scriptures to the two disciples, about the things concerning Himself. His true identity was concealed to them. It was more important for them to see Jesus in the Scriptures than in the flesh. Jesus expounded these to the disciples on a Sunday—setting a precedence for us to gather and feed on God’s word on Sundays (the first day of the week). When famine hit the land of Canaan (God’s promised land) , Abraham went down to the land of Egypt. Going down to Egypt (representing the world) is always a bad thing. When Abraham went back up to Canaan, he prospered and became rich in silver and gold. Sow in the time of famine—you will prosper. Acts 11:28-30 - Three months ago, before the COVID-19 pandemic reached a serious level in Singapore, the Lord showed Pastor Prince that a time of worldwide financial famine is coming. Thereafter, Pastor Prince read news about the swarms of locusts ravaging the lands in Africa, Iran, etc. The news says that this locust invasion is the worst it’s ever been in decades. The Holy Spirit can show you things to come. The well-supplied believers were able to help those in need. The name Agabus means “locust”. It’s prophetic of the locust invasion happening in the world now. Even in this time, your provision comes from the Lord. He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. This is a time of great shaking, and it will show that God is the only unshakable refuge to put your trust in. “One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius. As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea; which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.” (Acts 11:28-30 WEB) Matthew 6:25-30 - God wants to clothe you with health and provide for you financially as well. “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:25-30 WEB) Matthew 6:31-33 - We just need to keep learning about how righteous we are in Christ. ““Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:31-33 WEB)
A worldwide financial famine is coming, and believers need to sow seeds now to have plentiful harvests of provision in the time of famine. There is an end-time deception that because God is good, there's no need to tithe or give. Conform to God's ways and He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus!
