Fear Not God Will Provide More than Enough Pastor Sean Pinder And Elijah said unto

her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. (1 Kings 17:13) There was a famine in the land. This little widow didnt have a husband because her husband died on her. She was about to run out of food and starve to death. But the man of God showed up with a Word from God. All you need is a Word from God. I dont care if youre in famine, in the desert, in the midst of a storm, or in the lions den. All you need is a Word from God. For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. (1 Kings 17:14) Fear not, God will provide more than enough. God is so faithful. Ever since September 11, everybody is complaining about the economy. Im so happy Im a part of a different economy. My citizenship is from a different country. Im not talking about the Bahamas, where Im originally from. My citizenship is in Heaven, from whence we look for the Savior, Jesus. Yes, the economy is low and everybody is complaining. But I like what the Apostle Paul said. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19). You have to have a relationship with God to talk like this. There is no doubt about this. There is no question. Psalm

33:4 says, For the word of the LORD is right Prov. 30:5 says, Every word of God is pure We have been taught Phil. 4:19 wrong. God shall not provide your needs according to the U.S. economy. He shall not provide your needs according to the economy of Great Britain, Europe, Japan, or Canada. He shall provide your needs according to His riches in glory. The word supply means to cram, or to stuff. I never heard anybody say that. The word need is not really talking about necessity; its talking about all the demands of your life. I need millions of dollars to travel around this world and preach the Gospel so I can cast the devil out of nations by the power of the Holy Ghost. Weve been taught some erroneous teaching about the word need. I even quoted what Id been taught before until the Holy Ghost talked to me. Ive been taught all my life that that word need was talking about just the basic necessities of life. Having just enough to get by. We went to Uganda, Africa and that Crusade cost some money. If God had only been meeting my needs, I couldnt have paid for that Crusade. No wonder the body of Christ has been scraping to get along all these years. Theyve been taught wrong. Do you have any demands? My wife and I have a lot of demands. We want a soup kitchen. We want to feed the hungry. Deut. 8:18 says, But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. God gives you power to get wealth. Not to build

your own kingdom or your own empire, but to establish the Kingdom of God. Jesus said, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matt 6:10). There arent any hungry people in heaven. There are no starving people in heaven. Supply means to cram. It means good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over (Luke 6:38). I need a cramming from God because I have a big mind. I want to build 5,000 churches in Russia. Those people dont have pastors; they need churches. Im like the Apostle Paul. I want to go into areas where people never even heard the name of Jesus, in the power of the Holy Ghost, and establish the Kingdom of God. You need money to do that. 2 Cor. 8:9 says, For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. The word rich means to be wealthy; to increase in goods. Your motives are right. You dont want money to lavish things on yourself; you want money to establish the Kingdom of God. You dont want to be flashing a $25,000.00 ring or watch. Thats not why He gives us money. He gives us money so we can see souls saved and sick bodies healed. Im preaching a balanced prosperity Gospel. Did you know God wanted you to be rich? He wants you to be rich because He can trust you. You are seeking first the kingdom of God (Matt. 6:33). Youre not seeking after money, but after God. God said of King Uzziah, and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper (2 Chron. 26:5).

Dont try to define the word rich; it says exactly what it means. Jesus left all the glory and all the riches of heaven. Coming to this earth was becoming poor to Him. He was used to walking on streets of gold, but He walked on dirt down here. He was used to sitting on a throne of gold, pearl, jasper, precious stonesyou name it, it was on His throne. Yet He came down here and sat on pieces of wood. He became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. Do you think God really wants Donald Trump to have all the money? Do you think Donald Trump cares if anybody gets saved? Do you think Bill Gates cares if anybody gets saved? Things are about to change. Some people say, To be right before God, you have to be broke, busted, and disgusted, driving a 1953 Chevy wagon with the tires and the rims falling off. How are you going to get around America, preaching the Gospel, if youre driving around in an old piece of junk? I was convinced that God wanted me to always struggle and beg as a preacher. But God doesnt want you to stay like that. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3 John 2) God wants you to prosper. It is His will. Prosper means to abound in everything, including wealth. It means to be successful. This is the key: even as thy soul prospereth. Is your soul prospering? Well, God wants you to prosper, too. Eccl. 10:19 says, money answereth all things. Why does this Scripture say this? It takes

money to live on the face of this earth, whether you want to accept it or not. Try not paying your light bill for six or seven months. You can pray and speak in tongues all you want to, but, if you dont give the electric company some money, theyre going to turn your lights off. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. (1 Kings 17:8-10) Verse 10 starts out, So he arose If youre in a famine, itll be much easier to obey God, especially if Hes telling you where food is. Its easy to fight God and fight His voice in the middle of convenience. But if you go out to the desert and God says, You go 100 steps this way and 20 steps that way and youll find a piece of steak with a baked potato, youll have no trouble obeying the voice of God. The verse continues, he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. Some people would have criticized him under the ground for this. This widow woman is broke and this is the last bit of water she has to drink, and the man of God is begging her for that! This man is obeying God. Did he just jump up and go to Zarephath on his own accord to beg this woman for a little water? No. He was commanded by God to do what he was doing.

And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. (1 Kings 17:11) Just like a man of God, he pushed her to the limit. He was doing it because God commanded him to. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. (1 Kings 17:12) A handful of meal and a little cruse of oil was all she had. Her back was against the wall; she was in a desperate situation. She was in a situation where, if God didnt come through, she was finished. But Elijah had a Word from God for her, and He has a Word for you. God is watching over you. Hes looking out for you. Youre not going to die. Youre not going to starve to death. Your lights are not going to be turned off. The telephone isnt going to be turned off, and neither are your utilities. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. (1 Kings 17:13) Elijah said, Fear not Are you afraid? Is the devil saying, Aha, Ive finally got you where I want you! Youre going to starve. The lights are going to be turned off! Tell him, No, no, no! I serve a God Who is faithful. You read from Genesis to Revelation. He never let anybody down. He always comes through.

Youre wondering, How? Gods going to do it, thats how. Gods going to take care of you. Fear not. Im a selfish man when it comes to the Holy Ghost and the anointing. Im in love with Jesus. Im obsessed with the Master. In the Song of Solomon, the woman was seeking for the bridegroom. When she found him, she said, I found him whom my soul loveth (Song of Solomon 3:4) Thats a picture of the church seeking after Christ. When we come to the level of the presence of God where theres a revelation, where the Word of God is coming forth in power, and theres a demonstration of the power of God, youve found Him Whom your soul loves. When you tap into a level of anointing that youve never known and you live in it and walk in it, youve found Him whom your soul loves. Did you know you can live in the presence of God? When you live in His presence, you dont struggle to preach, because its not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts (Zech. 4:6). When you turn on a switch, the lights dont struggle to come on, they just come on. Why? The power is paid for. It is there. Do you get the message? When you pay the price in your prayer time, staying locked away from this world, staying away from all that hellevision has to offer, the power is paid for. If you are a Christian, you are not supposed to watch some stuff on television. I dont care if you disagree with me or not. You cannot have the presence of God and have this world; you have to die. Its painful. The Bible says, If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him (1 John 2:15). That is strong talk there.

As a pastor, I love the people that I pastor. Like Paul, I want to present them a chaste virgin to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2). I want to present them as a bride adorned for her husband (Rev. 21:2). I want to present them to Christ without spot, and blameless (2 Peter 3:14). We have a good time in the process, but I want more than a good time. I want to present them spotless and faultless before Christ. Jesus was in a certain place, preaching, and His mother and His brothers and sisters came to take Him by force. Somebody came and called Jesus, Hey, your mother and brothers are here to get you. Jesus said, Ill tell you who my mother and my brothers are; those that hear the word of God and do it (Matt. 12:48-50). We have something in common when we obey God.
