Notwithstanding what may be going on in the world, God’s Word abides true forever. Let’s not get so caught up in the news of the world that we forget, that the Most High God is working in our lives.Īs long as you serve God, He is going to bless your bread and water and take sickness away from you. Let us therefore keep our eyes on God’s kingdom-system rather than on the world system. We are not at the mercy of the fluctuating global economy, God is in control of our lives.Ĭircumstances may change, as the world goes through a great reset and observes a ‘new normal,’ but God never changes. As long as we abide in His covenant we are connected to a supply line that will never run dry. Your leaf will not wither because you are connected to the fountain of Living waters. Job 5:20,22 (NKJV) says “In famine He shall redeem you from death……….You shall laugh at destruction and famine.” –Īs a believer, you will prosper even in the desert. As God’s covenant people, we are to flourish in the famine and thrive in tough times and laugh over lack. Today, while it may be a dark time for those who don’t know God, for those who know their God, they shall be strong and do exploits. While there may be darkness in Egypt, as God’s people in Goshen, we shall be surrounded with light. In the midst of the gross darkness we will arise and shine because our light has come. However, while it may be a time of crisis in the world, it is certainly a time of revival, breakthrough and awakening for God’s people. Individuals, families, communities, business owners, are all looking for financial relief and a way out of the financial drought The pandemic has created panic! Lives have been lost, unemployment is skyrocketing, and a global famine is looming.
Just like America’s 1893 economic depression, today, the world is going through a crisis period. Before his death, Henry gave away 70% of his wealth to God’s work and went to be with the Lord at the age of 82, while on a train going to his house with a Bible in his hand. The more money he gave to God’s work, the more he prospered. Wherever Henry went, he also promoted the Gospel and many business people and corporate giants came to Christ through him. His Quaker Oats became globally celebrated as ‘the World’s Breakfast”. People loved this concept and demand soon soared.Īnd so in the midst of the great economic depression of 1893, as businesses were failing in thousands, Henry greatly became successful. But God gave Henry the idea of neatly packaging his oats in fanciful, clean containers that were displayed on grocery store shelves. Up to that point, oats were presented for sale in unhygienic big barrels or boxes on the floors of grocery stores. Though the two previous owners had sold the mill because they incurred huge losses, when Henry took over, the business began to flourish.Īs Henry brought the business before God in prayer, God gave him an idea that would change breakfast tables forever. Shortly after purchasing his first farm in Iowa, a violent tornado ripped through the area and left many nearby farms in shambles, but miraculously Henry’s farm suffered no damage.Īfter seeking the Lord’s counsel for his next business move, Henry purchased a Mill to produce oats. Later, as he went into business, God’s Hand upon his affairs became evident.
Yet through reliance on God’s guidance Henry eventually became a huge success in life.Īs Henry gave his life to Christ, he was miraculously cured of the deadly tuberculosis. He lost his father at a young age, suffered a deadly childhood disease of tuberculosis and had little education. The book “The Cereal Tycoon” is the story of Henry Parsons Crowell who founded Quaker Oats and was an extraordinary Christian businessman. However in the midst of this national crisis, God caused one man to prosper greatly. It led to huge unemployment, homelessness and famine. The Panic of 1893 was a serious economic depression in the United States that caused widespread bankruptcies and made over 15000 businesses to collapse. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.’ĭAILY READING Romans 4 1 Samuel 13 Psalm 58 Job 5:21-22 ‘.Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
