JEHOVAH JIREH


 “When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, ‘What is it?’ For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, ‘It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat. This is what the LORD has commanded: “Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take an omer for each person you have in your tent.” ’”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭NIV


This story reminds me to know God as who HE IS...

HE IS our Jehovah Jireh (God the Provider). God sees our needs even before we realise it, that His “pro-vision”.

God knows what is possible, and what is the best in the given situation and time. He gave manna to His people in the wilderness. “Manna” was not what they knew or expected from God. But manna is what His people need in that moment!

God’s provision is always enough for everyone. Take as much as you need... the problem with us perhaps “to know how much we need”! We can find such a dilemma in parties or buffet restaurants ...? How often we, too, get stuff that we do not really need?

God sees what we need! He gives according to our needs! Take as much as you need.... as much as you need! No more, no less....

BIBLE, THE WAY TO HEAVEN (2 Timothy 3:10-17—Preacher: Ps Paw Liang) I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God himself has condescended to teach me the way. He has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me that book of God. Let me be homo unius libri – a man of one book . (John Wesley’s Prayer) What does the Bible mean to you? False teachings was one of the issues faced by the early church. Paul reminds us, the Bible is the way to heaven, the way of God, the way of life. We need to be rooted in the Bible firmly. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” The Bible should be the foundation of our life and ministry. in discerning the teachings in our time and in setting direction for our church. The Methodist Quadrilateral do not have equal weigh. Rather, Tradition, Reason, and Experience should...
