I know this is not the normal post on the prophetic as I intended to do. However, I feel as this is a timely word. In the today’s economic crisis, many churches are in the face of heightened financial strain. Many members are opting to stay at home and watch church on TV for the sake of gas. Many have declined in paying tithes and offering. Those that are in full time ministry are feeling the pinch as expenses increase to travel and minister. Many of us we have to stand on the very word we have been preaching and believe the Lord that he will provide. As many times as we have spoken all of the provision scriptures in times where we were without lack. They are becoming ever more real to us now.
Many of us the Lord is moving and showing up as Provider. However, I want to encourage those were the bills are increasing and pay is decreasing which has enticed you to decline in ministry. Also, to the pastors and leaders who are struggling to minister because of the lack of adequate funds to maintain the church.
These scriptures really encouraged me.
Philippians 4:10-13.
Paul was writing this letter to the Philippian church. This scripture is very compelling. In verse 10, Paul was very excited because the provision that the church was providing for him while he was away had started to flourish again. Even though the church wanted to take care of the man of God, they lacked the opportunity at times
Then his letter takes a complete turn, He stated the reason for request support was not because he was in need, but because he understood contentment. He stated that he understood how to be content in all things. This is powerful you mean in his lack. There was no tangible element that could remove him from his purpose or from preaching the gospel. He understood how to be without and function and be sufficient.
TO ALL PASTORS, APOSTLES, INTERCESSORS, PROPHETS, AND THOSE IN MINISTRY
THE LORD SAYS: Remain content in all things. Lack and Insufficiency is not in excuse to drop out of the race and give up on what I have mandated you to do. If you will shift your mentality towards gain you will begin to see much fruitfulness in your life. It is an issue of faith and there is much grace available for you to stand in these times. Continue and don’t dwell on the provision because you will not lack bread. I desire to be the savior in your life but many of you are attempting to save yourself by your own strength, means and wisdom. Be encouraged! Though there is famine in the land. You will not suffer calamity. The house will not be in foreclosure. The car will not be repossessed. Your funds will not decrease. Place your strength in me. The economic crisis will not overtake you, but you must place your trust in me. I have made myself available for you.
Finally, YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENTHENS YOU.
Prophet Marcus Allen
