Heavenly Supply is a simple topic. The Apostle John tells us, by the Holy Ghost, "Beloved, I wish that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." (3 John 2) That tells me that God desires us to prosper financially to the level of our soul's prosperity. There are no limits to how much your soul can prosper, when you renew your mind to the Word of God, so there should be no limits to how much you can prosper financially in this world! Hallelujah!
Now, I want to focus on something that hasn't been talked about much by the church, on the subject of prosperity, and Heavenly Supply.
In 1 Samuel 30:8-10, we find David and his men in a forced march, chasing after the Amalekites, who have captured their wives and children.
8 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?" And He answered him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without faith recover all"
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor.
So, what I want you notice here is that two hundred of David's men stayed behind, because they were too weak to cross the brook. It would have been dangerous for them to go. So, you read on, and find that they stayed behind, and guarded the supplies.
Now, let's jump on ahead to after the battle, when David and his men had captured the spoil, gotten their wives and children back, and were bringing it back to the men who had stayed behind, guarding the camp.
21 Now David came to the two hundred men who had been so weary that they could not follow David, whom they also had made to stay at the Brook Besor. So they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near the people, he greeted them.
22 Then all the wicked and worthless men of those who went with David answered and said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any off the spoil that we have recovered, except for every man's wife and children, that they may lead them away and depart."
23 But David said, "My brethren, you shall not do so with what the Lord has given us, who has preserved us and delivered into our hand the troop that came against us.
24 "For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike."
25 So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Notice that-those who stayed behind, guarding the supplies got the same share as those who went into battle. That's a Godly principle.
We're not quite finished laying the foundation for this. Let's look at what Paul says, by the Holy Ghost, in Romans.
Romans 8:14
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
So notice, people need a preacher, but we could also say that they need someone to send him. That brings us to Philippians (and I promise you, this will all tie together in a minute).
Philippians 4:15-19
15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.
So notice, the Philippian church was partnered with the Apostle Paul. They sent him money and supplies to travel and preach the Gospel to the World!
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.
17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.
18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
Now, this is where we want to get. Read this verse carefully.
19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Did you catch it? If you aren't shouting, and running around the room, I'm guessing not.
The Apostle Paul didn't say, "And God shall supply all your need," or, "Your God shall supply all your need," or even, "Our God shall supply all your need." He said, "MY GOD shall supply all your need," Why did he say it that way?
Because when they sowed into His ministry, their needs were met on His level! Hallelujah! They got their needs met on an Apostle's level! They were the ones who stayed behind and guarded the supplies, like David's soldiers, and they got the same reward as Paul, who was like the men who went into battle! They got the same credit that Paul got for his work, so they were able to receive on Paul's level!
My God, do you know what that means? That means my needs aren't met on my level! They're met on the level of the people whose lives and ministries I sow into! When I sow into Brother Copeland's ministry, my needs are met on his level! When I sow into Brother Savelle's ministry, my needs are met on his level! It's met on their level, because that's the way God works.
This may seem a little strange, but study this. We're becoming Kingdom minded. This is the way the Kingdom works. God will meet your needs on their level, and then, according to 2 Corinthians 9:10 He multiplies the seed you have sown! That means you're not just reaping what you have sown! You sow your seed into the ground, and God adds to it.
Think of it this way. If I plant a corn seed, I'll get one corn plant, with ears of corn on it. That's a seed producing after it's own kind. But, if I sow a corn seed, and God sows three corn seeds on my behalf, I will reap four corn plants, with ears on each! The seed I sowed was supernaturally multiplied! That's what we're talking about here!
We need to become Kingdom minded, instead of being so Babylonian minded. This is how the Kingdom of God works! He meets your need on a level higher than your own, and then He goes and multiplies the seed you've sown! He even ministers the seed to the sower! It all comes from Him, and He has set it up so that you can reap the benefits of it, and become a carrier of THE BLESSING to the earth, hallelujah!
If you need a breakthrough, find a good ministry, and start sowing seed. A financial harvest never comes before a seed has been sown. You let God tell you where to sow, and He will meet and supply your every need. You must always be sowing seed. A seed will meet every need. And remember, when you sow, your needs aren't met just on your level! They're met on the level of those whom you have sown into! God will supply your every need! That's what it means to be a covenant partner in ministry!
Heavenly seed produces Heavenly harvest! Praise God, I just preached myself happy!
