Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Luke 6:47-48

So often we get caught up in the ideas of having a big house, a new car, or another dollar in the bank, and we forget that these things have nothing to do with happiness. In fact, it seems that the more a person has, the more he wants. Real joy is found by building a family around the Word of God. Then there are no worries about how we will pay the bills or what will happen if someone gets sick. We appreciate everything the Lord provides, and we are content with what He has given us. The only thing that we want more of, is Him.

The young lady from Trinidad who wrote the following testimony has caught that vision, and she is giving credit to the One who really deserves it. You might want to grab a tissue, because this young bride’s testimony will bring tears of joy to your eyes.

Jehovah Jireh is still our Provider.

God bless to all the saints worldwide. I trust this testimony will be an encouragement to someone’s heart.

I would like to testify that truly Jehovah Jireh is still our provider. My husband and I have been married for shortly less than a year, and certainly God has provided and met our every need thus far.

When we decided to get married, my husband possessed nothing more than the frame of a house, a bed, and wardrobe he had prior to our marriage, our love for each other, and God’s love. Brethren, God filled that house for us. From stove, to fridge, to microwave, to every kitchen appliance and wares, and even our first month’s grocery, were given as wedding presents.

We chose a wedding date, by faith. We had been engaged for roughly a year, when my fiancé then said, "We will marry on this particular date, come what may. Let’s marry, and live right."

Saints, we had no plans for a wedding ceremony, no ideas for a wedding reception, no suit or wedding dress nowhere in sight, and certainly no finance for such. God provided, and used my parents, and they hosted a dream wedding ceremony and outdoor reception for us. After we were married, God again provided an opening for us to go on our honeymoon to our beautiful twin isle, Tobago. We went there for not 1 day, or 2 days only, but 5 whole days! When that seemed so impossible at one time, there we were.

Even now, whenever we go to the grocery, our total cost sums up to the amount my husband and I catered to spend. I have never had the cause to put back products on the shelf when at the cashier because I couldn’t pay for it. God stretches the money to pay for everything and more. When the fridge seems to be bare, our market supply going short, God uses a neighbor, friend, or relative to send a handful of figs, or something we could cook or eat. We have never had to go begging.

All our bills are accounted for when God is doing the mathematics. We have never been found in debt, or owing, or in a situation where our lights, or phone, or water supply had to be cut because we didn’t pay. Our Nissan 720 pickup van has never been short of diesel from day to day, as it faithfully carries us to and from church three times a week, and my husband to and from work almost every day. Our medical bills the Lord also pays for us, as we have never been ill and in need of a doctor. God keeps us alive and in good health every day.

Also, months after being married, when our bed was our dining set and our couch, a van pulled up by our house one morning with a delivery for my husband and me. What was it? A wooden, seven-piece dining set anonymously sent to us. God had also thought of our slightest need of somewhere to sit and provided it for us.

Months before we were married, my husband and I had decided to do a savings so we could purchase The Table from Voice of God. We wanted to have possession of the prophet’s messages, so the Voice could be played in our home. Finally, we bought it. But we didn’t have a computer, or a DVD player, or even an mp3 player to play it. Saints, God provided a stereo set with mp3 and cassette player for us… again, another wedding present.

We may not enjoy the fine dining of fancy restaurants, or big bouquets of flowers, or exquisite gifts. But our sentiments are simply shared in my husband bringing home a piece of cake or a cone of ice cream, or picking someone’s flower from their garden, or me cooking up one of his favorites, like dhalpourie roti with curried chicken and potato.

Sometimes, when I read of where Brother Branham speaks of that poor couple on the riverbank, I remember us. They didn’t have much, but they were happy. Their home was filled with love. Similarly, we may not have much materially, but we are blessed and truly happy. We are rich with God’s blessings, His mercy, and His grace in our lives. Our home is filled with love and respect for one another and God’s Word.

Young people, don’t be afraid to trust a living God. Do not be afraid to step out in marriage. God will take care of you. You will be blessed for doing the right thing, for marriage is honorable. My husband and I are only 23 years old.

I am honored that the great God in heaven takes time, day after day, week after week, month after month, to provide my needs, and my husband’s needs.

Jehovah Jireh is our provider.

Your sister in Christ
