I feel a deep stirring in my spirit to remind you of something glorious, something supernatural:
God provides in ways we could never imagine—especially when we give to the Gospel.
There is a remarkable moment in Scripture that reveals this truth with breathtaking clarity: the coin in the fish’s mouth (Matthew 17:24–27).
Think of it…
Tax collectors came asking questions Jesus did not need to answer. He owed nothing. As the Son of God, He was exempt. Yet He chose the path of humility and peace. And then He demonstrated one of the most unusual miracles recorded in the Gospels.
He told Peter:“Go to the sea… cast a hook… take the first fish… open its mouth.You will find a coin. USE IT.”Peter obeyed—and there it was.
A coin, waiting in the mouth of a fish at the exact moment it was needed.
What a God we serve!
The message for you today is simple and powerful:
When you give to the Gospel, God releases provision from places you never saw coming.
My friend and mentor, Oral Roberts used to say “a miracle is either coming toward you, or going by you.” Just like the coin in the fish’s mouth, your supply may already be:
– swimming toward you,
– positioned by God,
– assigned to your obedience,
– and ready to be discovered.
God’s provision rarely comes from the expected place.
Often it comes from directions we cannot predict:
✔ A contract you didn’t expect
✔ A check you didn’t see coming
✔ A promotion no one thought possible
✔ A debt suddenly forgiven
✔ A door no man could open
✔ A blessing hidden inside a burden
✔ A miracle waiting inside obedience
That is the power of divine provision—it is always precise, always timely, and always connected to obedience.
And one of the greatest acts of obedience in the Christian life is giving to the work of the Gospel.
Every time you sow into the Kingdom…
every time you honor the Lord with your substance…
every time you place the Gospel first…
you activate the same supernatural cycle of provision that Peter stepped into that day by the sea.
God still puts coins in fish’s mouths for those who trust Him.
He still commands creation to respond to your faith.
He still surprises His people with divine supply!
And remember: Jesus didn’t tell Peter to look in a treasure chest.
He didn’t tell him to borrow.
He didn’t tell him to scramble.
He told him to obey—and the miracle met him on the other side of obedience.
So will yours.
As you stand with me to preach the Gospel to the nations, know this:
Your seed is holy. Your obedience matters. And your harvest is already on the way.
I am praying today that God will release His “coin in the fish’s mouth” miracle into your life—
unexpected, undeniable, supernatural provision—in Jesus’ mighty Name!
