Supernatural Provision

In 2001 my wife and I had been in ministry for three years. I was eight years on the Philadelphia Police Department, newly married to my wife with two daughters, one son and one kid on the way. We were holding weekly night service, and outreach ministry in some two thousand square feet commercial building. Everything was great. But as with everything trials come your way. Both of us had strong faith even before we met. To us, the ministry was everything so when members failed to pay tithes we sowed everything we had to keep the doors of the church open. It’s been years now we’ve been solely financing the ministry off of one salary, and not to mention taking care of a family of five. And as a result, our bills fail behind. We lived for months without electric and continued to hold regular services. One morning I entered the apartment living room, and my television came on. Amazed, I called my wife and asked if anyone had found out what we were going through and had paid our bill. No one had paid our bill, and our meter box had been padlocked. A miracle took place. God provided a supernatural provision of electric throughout the winter. The entire ordeal was a test of our faith, especially when faced with the reality of the lack of love people have for God and the truth of his word. It was also challenging to cope with financial issues due to a lack of members paying tithes and offerings. We held on, and in the end, God rewarded our faith with a supernatural provision
