Genesis 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

"Jehovah Jireh- Jehovah will provide. Gen. 22:13,14- see Gen 22:8, Psa. 78:20 I Sam. 16:1 - When Abraham called the name of the place where God tested him- and provided a ram - instead of his only son (of promise) he named it this which means Jehovah, The One Who Provides. The word Jireh is simply translated as, to see or appear. In this instance, it was the God who saw, or in His Eternal wisdom and knowledge 'He foresaw' the need, and made provision for it. For Jehovah to see a need, is to provide for that need!

After all, Provision is to foresee and thus provide, for with God provision and pro-vision is all the same. Another form of the word Jireh is used to foresee, and is translated 'seer' or prophet. I Sam. 9:9 - God will provide could also be worded "God will see to it, or 'Gods' provision will be seen' and of course God's great provision was Jesus Christ, The lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world.

2 Chronicles 26:5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.

Here is a thought that we will always have poor people in the world and we are to be a help.
Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Psalms 41:1 <To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Giving breaks the bonds of Satan on your finances. Giving brings prosperity, because it is in accord with the Lord's principles. What you do with your finances and how you handle them can be tied to your health and wealth as well as your family's health and wealth       ..... author

(Job lived one hundred years AFTER the events recorded in the Bible.) If you are another Job you will prosper...."   Quoted from the Bible notes in Keneth Hagin's Bible with notes and extras.

Quoted from GVA TODAY by Morris Cerrulo found on the Internet at: http://www.mcwe.com/   :

(From the parable of the master giving his servants money to use until he gets back from a trip.....Matt. 25: 13-30)

"As Christians, we are called to be stewards of God's money. It is never ours -- it's always His. And as His stewards, we're to treat the money as if it's His. We should put the money to work earning more money.

The biggest trap leading to poverty is treating money as a finite asset --- meaning that you only have a limited supply, and when that's gone, you must find another supply. But if you treat money as an asset that can reproduce itself, you then treat it as the servants who had the five and ten talents --- you put it to work earning more money.

That means that no matter how much God has entrusted to us, we should strive to induce it to increase --- whether that means simply investing it in an interest-bearing bank account or planting it in a college education. No matter the actual mode of increase, it's clear that we should strive for the increase.

One of the most important steps you can take is sowing God's money into the ground of the ministry --- because the parable's first meaning was simple: God's focus is not on money, it's on the Kingdom of God.

The more we focus on achieving the goals of the Kingdom, the less important money will be to us, and the more we'll treat it as God's stewards. Sowing money into the ministry of reaching souls is one of the best investments you can make...... " Quoted GVA Today  ... April 2001
