God is Jehovah, Master and Creator of all things. He is the Provider with an ability that knows no inability. One must not only know about God, but know God, which is only accomplished through life experience. Having a personal and intimate relationship with God is key to all needs supplied. It is only through personal faith in Christ that experiential knowledge of God is gained.  Everything we need, God’s got it!

God has ordained that prayer is the way for us to lay hold of His promises. Prayer acknowledges that we’re needy and that God is mighty to provide. When He does provide, He gets the glory because we know that He did it, and nobody else. When rightly related to God, our needs are met because His promise is supplied by Himself, the Provider. He knows what we are standing in need of before we even ask. For your heavenly Father knows what things you have need of .Trials and tribulations come to make us strong in faith and produce good fruit for the glory of Christ Jesus,. As the main source of all things, and all things needed, God is sovereign and He keeps His Word (Promise). This is a guaranteed assurance, an oath, a vow, and a pledge from the One and Only True-Living God.

The Bible is the word of God and is powerful, encouraging and life changing. The promises of God tells us that all Scriptures in the Bible are inspired by God. With this promise of God in hand, we can then be assured that what we learn in the Bible comes from Him and is truth! So, we must totally and unwarily stand on the Promises of God.

The word of God is full of inspiring assurances of how God will provide for his followers. This is a prearranged, anticipated and bountiful establishment of God, where all needs are provided, supplied and met.  Not a little, a portion, some, much nor most needs, but all need. God is fully aware of our needs and the Bible tells us of how God wants us to come to Him with every need and care and worry that we may have. God can provide for the many and varied needs of His children one by one and corporately all together at once, because of His infinite and immeasurable riches. The earth is full of God’s riches and it is in the earth where God has put us, as His children. The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it belongs to Him. So, we are never alone in our need. We always have access to the Provider , His promise and His provision. We must rely solely on the Word of God, and trust and believe what God says, not man. What an awesome provision! We must remember that when our focus is on God, and when our worldview about God shows that we believe that He is interested and cares about every area of our life; then we are starting to be in the place that God desires for us. That place will be where we talk constantly to God and listen for Him to speak to us and give direction.

God’s giving is not merely from His riches, or out of His riches, but according to His riches. God has hidden riches in secret places about which we know nothing. Riches of His goodness, Riches of His glory and Riches of His grace. We cannot have a need too great for God to provide. All His riches are made available to His own. God who gave His own Son to redeem humanity.

In the context of verse 18 & 19 of Philippians chapter 4, these two verses are threaded together with the word, but, a conjunction that ties them together, which is the principle of giving and receiving. Generously giving to God’s ministry adds to our own account. A person’s  motive, manner and measure of giving has a definite and direct effect on claiming and obtaining God’s promise. More importantly, our prerequisite to claim God’s favor is that we must be in right standing with God the Provider to claim His benefits. We must repent and confess our sin and believe in our heart that Jesus Christ is Lord. We must be born again to see and enter the kingdom of God.
