Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.Many of the problem we have is because we do not actually know the God we are serving.Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.Do you know God? Are you born again? Do you know the ability and the capacity of God? Do you know the love behind the actions of God? How does God sees you – a slave, a servant, a child or a minister?The answer to these questions will enable you to relate to God in the right way.We shall see some cases in the Bible to learn how God always procide answers before we see problems.1. At The Time Of Noah – Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. Before the destruction came, the ark was ready and those who could enter had entered.2. The Sacrifice Of IsaacGen 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 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. The ram was waiting but Abraham had not seen it. Immediately he was stopped from killing Isaac, he saw the ram.3. HagarGen 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. 19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. She thought that her child would die of thirst. She did not know that God knew that she would come to that place and that she would need water, so it had been provided but she didn’t see and she sat down far away so that she would not witness the agony of the dying child. Remember that God is ahead of you. Whenever you are traveling, God is with you and He had also gone ahead of you. 4. At Sodom and Gomorrah Before the destruction by fire, Abraham prayer for mercy and God allowed the angels to allow Lot to warn others. He, Lot was rushed out of the cities before the judgment came.5. In Egypt Before the seven years of scarcity came, there was seven years of plenty and message had come and a governor had been appointed to preserve food for the time of scarcity.6. At The Time Of MosesWhen Pharaoh was planning to eradicate the Israelites, God provided Moses to deliver them.7. At The Red SeaBefore pharaoh could reach them, God had opened the sea for them to pass and He used the sea to sink their enemies.8. Death Of MosesBefore Moses died, God provided Joshua who had been well trained to take over.9. At The Time Of SamuelAs Samuel was crying for the disappointment of Saul, God told him He had provided another king already.10. At Elijah’s Time1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. Immediately Elijah finished declaring judgment on Ahab and Isreal, God had provided where Elijah would be fed.11. When The Brook Was Drying1Ki 17:7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. Before the brook would dry, the widow women had been provided.12. Elijah’s Taken AwayBefore Elijah was taken away, God had provided Elisha for him to be trained so as to take over.13. Haman’s TimeBefore Haman became second in command to the king, Esther had been made queen in a dramatic way. Also, God had allowed Mordecai to do a great help to the king that was waiting to be rewarded.14. Judgment of HamanThe very day Haman planned to kill Mordecai, God made the king to be looking for what to do for Mordecai. So, the gallows that was made for Mordecai was what they used to hand Haman.15. The Birth Of JesusBefore Herod could mobilize the army to go and killed baby Jesus, Jesus was already in Egypt.16. Ethiopian EunuchBefore Eunuch realized that he needed a helper, God had provided Philip.17. Peter In PrisonBefore Herod could order the death of Peter, an angel had released him and he had escaped.18. Paul in JerusalemBefore they could beat Paul to death, a captain had come to rescue him.As we look at all these cases, God wants us to know that He is the All-wise, All-Knowing, All-Sufficient, and All-Powerful God.Whatever problem you are having right now, God had provided the solution already. You may not see it but it is there waiting for you.The eyes of Hagar had to be opened to be able to see the well that had been provided before she got there.Remember God knows your tomorrow before today. He is carrying you somewhere Jer. 29: 11 No demon or devil can snatched a child of God from God’s hand. God’s program for your life can never be aborted by any being.Pray for God to open your eyes to see the solution instead of questioning or blaming God for the problem.Always remember that before a problem comes, the solution had been provided by God.GOD IS SOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!
