God shall supply all your needs

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19 (KJV)

During the time the Israelites were rebuilding the ruined walls and burned gates of Jerusalem, they faced strong resistance from their enemies. The progress of God’s work was blocked, not just by outside forces, but also by internal struggles, especially a lack of love and unity among themselves. A severe famine had hit the land, forcing many to mortgage their lands, homes, and vineyards just to survive (see Nehemiah 5:3–4). Sadly, some even began charging interest on loans to their fellow Jews.

As believers of the New Christian faith, it’s our divine calling to support one another in times of need. Ignoring this responsibility disrupts the flow of God’s work. True children of God are not meant to beg for food or money (Psalm 34:10; 37:25). Those who constantly look to others instead of trusting God often remain in a cycle of dependency.

In the teachings of the Christian prayer church, we understand that those in need should turn to Christian prayer, not complaints. At the same time, those who are blessed with more must seek God’s guidance to find and bless the needy. When this spiritual balance is maintained under God’s direction, all needs are fulfilled, and nothing is wasted.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of staying with a humble family rooted in New Christian prayer. The head of the family had recently lost his job, and one day, they had absolutely no food—not even a slice of bread. Yet, instead of panicking, the whole family, including the little children, gathered to pray. They didn’t murmur or worry; they believed.

As we were deep in prayer, a sudden loud noise came from the front door. We thought someone had thrown a heavy stone. But when we opened it, we found a large sack filled with bread, vegetables, and enough food to feed the entire household.

God had answered before we even finished praying. This testimony is a powerful reminder to every believer at the New Christian prayer church: begging dishonors the Provider, but praying in faith brings provision in His perfect timing.
