Over the time that I've spent in ministry, I've realized that God will only provide at the level in which you need it. He will only provide when you need the finances to be able to go and do what He needs you to do. If God has called you to that level, then He will make the provision for it.
However, many of us are trying to seek provision within our own strength and understanding or in a way that God never called us to. If we are not comfortable at the financial level that we're at, how can we handle the level of finances that God wants to give us? If God can't trust us with a little, how is He supposed to trust us with more?
If you are currently struggling financially, I hope you are encouraged to go out there and trust God in the finances that He has called you to live at right now. This will reduce the work that He needs to do in you and also provide the resources and prepare the foundation for what He wants to build on top of all that He's doing in you right now—whether that's mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, or financially.
God is calling you at this level because He's preparing you for what to expect at the level that He's calling you in life and in ministry.

In this episode of the Ministers in the Marketplace podcast, we delve into the spiritual warfare and opposition faced by ministers in the marketplace. Surprisingly, much of this competition comes from fellow Christians within the same industry or field.
We explore the reasons behind this competitive spirit and the importance of seeing through God's lens rather than the enemy's. True service to God means supporting one another rather than viewing each other as threats.
Through biblical examples like David, Moses, and Joshua, we discuss the significance of passing the baton and building upon the foundations laid by others. Embrace your God-given assignment with confidence, despite any opposition you may face.
Learn to discern who is genuinely supporting your mission and who may be working against it. Surround yourself with those who uplift rather than compete with you. This episode encourages you to stay focused on your divine calling and trust God's wisdom in navigating the marketplace.
We hope this message blesses you and equips you to fulfil your purpose. See you in the next episode!
