It is recorded in Luke chapter 19:
28 When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,
30 saying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here.
31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’ ”
Jesus needed a resource to fulfill His calling and FATHER provided Him with a word of knowledge concerning the colt. FATHER knew beforehand that the colt’s owner would be willing to provide the colt because HE ministered to the man. We should expect the same when we are in need of resources to fulfill our individual callings. There is no need to be anxious about how, when, or where these resources will arrive but simply trust FATHER to provide.
In Psalm 24 it is written by THE SPIRIT:
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.
Earth and its resources are solely FATHER’S to deploy however HE sees fit. Men are given opportunities to steward over resources but they do not have final authority over those resources for their “ownership” is temporary by nature. True aspiring overcomers are less focused on resources and more interested in simply fulfilling their individual callings. One of FATHER’S defining names is Jehovah-Jireh found in Genesis chapter 22:
9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; (Jehovah-Jireh) as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”
Expecting resources requires us to have faith as did Abraham. He was willing to sacrifice his son as directed by FATHER but instead was provided with a ram as an appropriate sacrificial offering. Jesus also had faith in FATHER when He needed the colt. Both acted upon FATHER’S Word and both were given the necessary provision to fulfill their calling. As we walk out our calling let us walk in the same faith and expect FATHER to provide. HE certainly would not expect us to fulfill our calling without the needed resources but HE does expect us to walk in faith.
