Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-24

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Have you ever noticed how we tend to look to man, or other natural sources as the one, or the thing, that supplies our needs?

Our employer. Our investments. Our clients. Our customers.

These are all sources of sustenance for most of us. We trade our time and efforts for money that they give us in exchange for the labors we render.

So, over time, we begin to look at them as the supplier of what we need. What we forget, though, is that it is the hand of God by which they do this.

It is easy for this to happen.

They are visible, tangible and present in our natural lives. We interact with them one on one most times. So, our minds tend to see them as the ones who supply our needs. It’s a natural tendency.

God is invisible. We can’t touch Him. We can’t see Him.

And if we aren’t taking the time to talk with Him and listen to Him (prayer), then we will live life not hearing Him.

So, our natural minds naturally tend to look beyond Him and forget that He is the One ordering our steps and setting everything in place so we can receive what we need from those people or entities whom we look to.

Let us not forget how important this is to understand.

He is our all in all. He is our source for everything that we need.

And in everything we do, let us remember that He will never forsake us.

Psalm 37:25 (NKJV) 25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-16-22

John 12:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

The donkey that Jesus rode on was there for such a time as “that day”. It was “the donkey” that was predicted to be there for Jesus to ride on. It was there, ready and waiting, for our King.

According to the reference notes in my study Bible, from the time when it was prophesied in the the Old Testament book of Zechariah, until it came to pass in the New Testament book of John, approximately 400 years had passed.

Zechariah 9:9 (NKJV) 9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.

It was Jesus Christ walking out His Triumphal Entry. Praise be to God. Hallelujah!

Who would have thought that a KING, the Savior of the world, would come riding on a donkey’s colt? Yet, He did!

Little did they know this same man, our KING, a week later would rise from the dead, conquering both death and hell, offering salvation to the world. Praise You, Lord!

The precision in God’s timing, and the organizing and planning that it took for this to all take place, on the day that it needed to happen, is incredibly amazing!

Knowing this, what can man do that would cause us to ever doubt Him when it comes to His provision and timing in our individual lives?

What could possibly stop Him from doing what He wants to do for us? Only our own unbelief.

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Believe and we shall witness His greater works and marvel at them.

John 5:20 (NKJV) 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-21

1 Kings 17:11 (NKJV) 11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”

As Elijah spoke to this particular widow, this was her giving moment right here. If she chose to obey God, she would be saved from the dire situation she was facing.

The woman had just enough food left for her and her son to eat a final meal, then they were going to die.

Then, along comes a man of God; a prophet named Elijah.

Elijah was asking her to make him a meal before making one for herself and her son.

She had to decide what she should do.

I can only imagine, with her child to think of, what a decision this would be to have to make.

Well, she chose to listen and do what the prophet asked. In return, God made provision for her.

1 Kings 17:14 (NKJV) 14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’

She sowed the remainder of what she had, and she did it with the right heart.

The seed she gave went into good ground. And she and her son were taken care of.

Boy, how quickly things can change when we obey.

We know that giving is a very touchy subject for some people. Many people would rather not discuss it.

But the reason we choose to teach on this sensitive topic is because we know it can help people immensely once they understand it.

We teach on it because it’s God’s truth, and it works.

We have seen God move in so many ways when we have obeyed Him in this area.

When giving is done from the heart, it is powerful!

We have literally seen God come through many times on our behalf, or on the behalf of others, because of our giving of one thing or another.

Sometimes It’s money. Other times it’s labor or spending time with someone.

Sometimes it is giving up food for a period of time (fasting), etc. It’s whatever God is asking of us at that particular moment in time.

Oh, the joys of giving! The blessings of the Lord that come from planting our seed in God-given fertile ground.

Sometimes we are not sure if we should give to certain things. When this happens, we may feel torn and undecided.

One day, while listening to someone’s situation, they began crying and saying they couldn’t do it alone. They needed financial help.

Their emotional plea began to move me, and I was willing to give anything I could to help them at that moment.

But when I pulled myself together, I asked God, “do you want me to give to this cause?”.

I thought for sure He would tell me “yes”, and then give me an amount.

But to my surprise He said, “no”. Just like that. No.

I found out later they got more than what they needed within a very short time.

God knew. And I’m glad I listened.

Giving is something we need to take seriously.

When God says, “give”, we need to obey.

When God says, “no, not for this”, no matter how much it is pulling or tugging on our emotions, we need to obey and follow God’s lead.

We can’t let our emotions cause us to act in such a way that it overrides what God is saying to do.

Ask Him for guidance or reassurance, and then follow.

Giving is powerful and makes a difference if we give to what, who and where we are supposed to. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-10-21

1 Kings 2:3 (NKJV) 3 And keep the charge of the Lord your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn…

And keep the charge of the Lord your God.

What is that charge? To Walk in His ways, keep His statutes, His commandments, judgement and testimonies.

This is how we may prosper in all that we do and wherever we go.

Some people think they just need to pray and then it happens.

But, in reality, the verse above shows us how we establish a continual flow of God’s provision.

As we keep His charge, the Lord continues to prosper and grant success to those who walk in His ways.

If we live in constant lack and heavy stress then it may be time to change some things up.

Why would we stay in this situation if it is not pleasant and we have the opportunity to change it? Why would we not want to move and take the steps toward a better way that God has shown us?

We have to choose. It doesn’t choose us. And when we choose to walk in His ways, we choose RIGHTLY!!

And we will know it by the fruit that we see coming from our choices.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-22-20

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

We are so excited to share with you that Seven Seas Ministries is growing and reaching so many people all around the world these days!

Who would have known that there would have been a worldwide pandemic that would keep people from gathering and going to church?

But God knew, and He used this online ministry to be there for those that had nowhere to go.

It’s an honor to be here for all those who were without their church family.

Through all of this, we have picked up many new followers, family and friends during this time of hardship for many. Praise be to God. He is so faithful!

We are appreciative to all of you for your help. We have not skipped a beat.

If anything, we have been working harder, going stronger. God is taking us all to a whole new level.

We take Him at His word every day. We know He supplies you with all your needs. Hallelujah… He is our Provider!

Genesis 22:14 (NKJV) 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”

Some of you have written with prayer requests throughout the year. Our book of prayer requests is growing, and we feel responsible to keep on lifting each one up until we hear back from you, letting us know that you have gotten your answer or your breakthrough.

With that in mind, we ask you, please, if God has provided for your prior need, and you are now in another place regarding your situation, just send us an email to let us know.

We will take your name from the book of requested prayers and put you in the “answered prayer” book.

We know without a doubt that He has already answered many and will be coming through for many more of you with an answer. It’s just a matter of time.

We love you dearly!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-23-20

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

This is a promise. Receive it!

God is good and He will meet our need. A lot of times we just need to be where the answer is. We can’t stop doing what we know to do just because we don’t feel like doing it, or because we are tired of the battle.

Keep going. You never know where your answer is going to come from.

I remember one morning before church we had run out of peanut butter, and that’s what we would put on our English muffin.

It was not a real big deal; things could have been worse. But it stood out hugely that morning because we were growing weary and tired from everything else that had been hitting us. This was just one more thing.

We all got ready and went to church. Not long after we got there, a lady came up to us and said, “I know this is odd, but I felt like I needed to bring you a jar of peanut butter”.

We all laughed as she handed it to us. But you know, that jar of peanut butter meant so much to us. Because only God knew. And it showed us that He even cares about the little things that mean something to us.

That’s right, peanut butter! And may I add, it was the right brand!!

We went home that day with a smile, and our hearts were lifted. Can I just say, “God knows”.

What are your needs today? What are you going through?

Don’t miss the opportunity to receive what He has for you. Being in the right place matters greatly in receiving your answer.

Get to that place you need to be, whether in our heart or a physical place, or both. And be busy doing what we need to be doing. God will deliver! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-1-19

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

These are words to live by. They are words that should assure us that we will never lack what we need.

One of the biggest lessons for all of us is in these four words; “supply all your need”.

Notice that it doesn’t say “supply all your want”?

Nope. All you “need” is the correct wording. This can help us greatly when we lack understanding, or if we’re feeling let down because we haven’t gotten everything we want.

You see, God has promised us that we will have what we need. Once we understand that, and we start to separate what we want from what we need, we will begin to feel satisfied, content with what we have.

And it’s good for us to know that God will supply our needs. He has no lack. So even if we have lack, He is faithful to help us get what we need.

It may not always come the way we want it to, in the timing we want it to come in, or even wrapped in the package we want it wrapped in. But it will come.

The question is this: will we recognize it when it does come? Will we see it for what it is?

Or will we miss out on it because it doesn’t arrive with loud bells and flashing lights?

Rest assured that God will supply our need according to His riches in glory. We just have to be ready to receive it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-19

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

There are two standards by which everything is viewed and judged; Man’s standard, and God’s standard.

Philippians 4:19 says that our God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. Isn’t it great to know that He will supply for us based on His riches in glory, and not based on man’s riches?

Now, this is where we need to get understanding, so we don’t begin applying man’s thoughts to this verse.

First, God owns everything. So, there is never any lack on His end. He is abundantly sufficient in everything, leaving us with no possibilities of Him not being able to supply what we need.

Second, God’s riches are not the same as man’s riches. As we look at everything through natural eyes, we may immediately think of wealth in the natural sense when we think of God’s abundance.

And while it is true that God may supply us with material blessings, we need to carefully consider the fact that material wealth is not the only resource God has for us. In fact, there may be times when He provides for us in ways other than with material wealth.

God knows what we need, vs. what we want.

Sometimes we think we need material blessings when, in reality, we need God’s blessings. God’s blessings can be very diverse!

During times of famine, we definitely need the things necessary to sustain us. But we will many times forget that we also need God’s love, encouragement, hope and joy in order to persevere and press through the battle to victory.

If God only supplied us with material things during those times, how miserable might we end up?

Sure, our bills might be paid, and we would have food and shelter. But if we lack understanding, joy, gratitude and so many other attributes, we would be in sorry shape.

Thank you, God, for supplying all our needs according to Your riches in glory, not according to man’s.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-19

Lamentations 3:23 (NKJV) 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

What an honor it is to be able to serve God and His children.

He is a good God and a faithful, loving and caring Father.

He will go above and beyond to move mountains for His children. He will not stop at anything when it comes to providing for us.

He is a God that is true to His everlasting Word. We can stand on His Promises and know that He will come through every time.

I don’t know what you or someone you may love deeply might be going through today, but God will be there for you both. He is a personal God and knows what it will take to get you through. Amen.

He is steadfast, and He will not forsake you. Trust Him. Believe with all your heart what He is saying to you, and you will see with your own eyes what great and mighty things He will do.

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-8-19

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

If there is one thing that I have learned over the years, it’s this; God is faithful.

It doesn’t matter what we face, God is always the One we can count on. He doesn’t get scared and run. He doesn’t get mad and turn His back. He doesn’t forget His promises.

So many of us spend so many hours of our lives worrying needlessly. Yes, at the time when we’re worrying, whatever we’re worrying about seems pretty big to us. And some of the things we worry about might actually be big.

But God is always bigger. Period.

Why is it so hard for us to remember that when we’re face to face with a trial, a dilemma or a “monster” of some kind that’s threatening to swallow us up?

That may seem like a rhetorical question. But it’s not. It’s an honest question that we all need to try to answer if we’re going to learn to let our faith and trust in God be tested and, ultimately, to grow.

When a need arises, no matter what kind of need it is, God is able. He can supply it. The notion or idea that He can’t isn’t even a possibility.

Let’s work hard at getting our heads and our hearts to grasp this awesome truth, and then live it out.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory, by Christ Jesus!
