LESSON ONE

INTRODUCTION
We are God’s beloved vineyards. By destiny we are most favoured and fruitful
hills (Isa. 5:1-2). Ignorance of this truth leads to captivity (vs 13).
Breakthroughs in life are all functions of insight into God's secret (Jos. 29:1-8).
To locate God's secrets is to enlist as a beneficiary of His covenants (Ps. 25:14).
The covenant He swore with Abraham (Gen. 12:2).
Manna is in the secret place, inside the golden pot, hidden far from the sight of
ordinary men (Heb. 9:4). Every divine providence answers to insight.
Every insufficiency is as a result of darkness, get light via the Word of God (PS.
119:105).

DEFINITION
Supernatural supplies means Divine Provision. God meeting man's needs
especially at critical times.

SUPPLIER GOD

RECEIVER MAN

VEHICLE Any Agent God wishes to use.

God is ready to supply only if you are ready to receive (Phil. 4:19).
Even if the enemies are watching (PS. 23:5) and are very angry. Even when the
enemies have none you can have overflowing measure.
There is enough not to be careful in the year of drought (Jer. 17:7-8)

 LESSON TWO

THE REALITY OF SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

Supernatural supply is real. God has provided for others in the past.

1. I Will Rain Bread From Heaven - (Ex. 16:1-15). This was the Church that
was purchased by the blood of bulls and rams. HOW much more will He rain
bread from heaven for them that are purchased by the blood of Jesus.
Heaven has an answer to the earthly hunger of men.
Bread from heaven not from uncles, brothers fathers, mothers, etc.
We're so attached to the other sources that we have missed the real source (Jer.
17:5-6)
The reality of Supernatural Supplies is all the way from Exodus.

2. Arise And Eat - I King 19:1 - 8

At every wilderness there's something from heaven for you. This time water
came along with it.
At the point of death, heaven responded to Elijah.
As long as you are in a dare need, heaven will remain open.
Angels are heavenly messengers running errands on the earth for God.
The angel served Elijah complete menu.

3. Heaven Has Food Stuff In Store - I Kings 17:13-16 The Widow of

Zarephath went through famine with smile (Psm. 33:18-19; 37:18-19). Three
million supernaturally fed for so many years. God is still a supernatural
supplier.
Don't expect to be consumed by needs, your supplier does not change not.

4. The Ravens Are Still At Work Today - I Kings 17:2-6

You cannot starve when He sends you. The ravens are there awaiting your
arrival.
By destiny we are not programmed to be stranded.
The first Church enjoyed Supernatural Supplies to a point that none among
them lacked anything. Remember by strength shall no man prevail.
Except the Lord builds the house they labour in vain that builds it - Ps.127:1
I see God bringing you to your realm of rest!
6
5. Something In Your House - 2 Kings 4:1-7
It was empty vessels the widow was asked to borrow not oil.
Those who go borrowing have proved their lack of faith in Supernatural
Supplies.
Every act of borrowing is a proof that you do not believe God for supplies.
She just dropped some oil in each vessel representing what she wanted and each
one was filled up.
"Go sell the oil..." it was marketable oil!
God is current! He provides what can sell.
The oil will not stop as long as you have empty vessels.
Until the pot is empty the supplies will not come.
Hoarders are losers, but pourers will always win.
God is still a reliable, dependable supplier.

6. God, a humorous supplier - 2 Kings 7:1

Your enemies' resources can be converted to meet your needs.
Elijah came offering a prophetic solution at a time of famine.
The world must know that we have access to supernatural supplies.
There was enough in the enemy's camp to solve the famine problem.
It was the Lord that made them flee, so the supplies came from Him.
You will never be stranded even if it means the Lord making your enemies to
hear a noise.
God is still in the business of supplying for His people, you will never be
stranded!
If it is God that has called you, you can lean on His supernatural supplies.

7. God's Unlimited Supplies - John 6:4

"He himself knew what He would do..."
Jesus had the facts!
"Make them sit down"
While the whole world is running helter-skelter, you will have seat. This is the
Lord's command in time of need.
"As much as they would..."
God's supplies are unlimited!
"Over and above..."
7
Knowledge of Supernatural Supplies is your stronghold in time of famine.
If you don't have the knowledge of supernatural supplies, you will be stranded
with ease.
The backbone of meeting your needs is living on supernatural supplies from
heaven.

8. God is your source - Luke 10:1

Your supplies are not from any man.
Don't greet any man in a special way.
"...as they give..."
Your answer is not in the hand of men, so go not from house to house.
If you are not appointed, you will be disappointed.
"carry no purse..." He told the disciples because He is well able.

9. Trust God - (Ps. 125:1-3). It is our distrust in God that puts us down on the
earth. Go not from house for the labourer is worthy of his hire. When you are
on His commission, you are entitled to His provision.
There is nothing any man will give you that is equal to what God is giving you.
Your heavenly Father is bigger than any earthly man.
"Go not from house to house, salute no man on the way; or you will shut your
heavenly supplier.

10. When He Sends He Provides - Luke 22:35

They lacked nothing when He sent them.
If 'go'comes from Him you can't be lost on the way.
If you are in the vision He gave you, you will lack nothing.
Supernatural supplies are a reality.
All these facts will help to establish your faith that God has not changed and
cannot fail.
Many servants of God have become servants of men and have therefore lost
their status with God.
Borrowing to do the work of God is an insult to Him.
Did He tell you He doesn't have the means?
You either embrace Supernatural Supplies or you carry on with earthly
struggles.
Make your choice!
God has said woe unto him that trusts in the arm of flesh - Jer. 17:5-8
8
God is too big to depend on man.
When He sends you, you don't lack anything.
We send you forth as eaglets, taking steps to become eagles,
You need a placement that helps you to grow.

 LESSON THREE

ERA OF SUPERNATURAL ABUNDANCE

We are in the era of God's super abundance and it is enjoy right to enjoy
supernatural supply.
The former rain was received moderately i.e. what happened to Israel in Goshen
Gen. 47:27. Also Exo. 12:35-36
God is determined to oversupply in the latter rain. Joel 2:21-24
The latter rain began to fall about 2,000 years ago on the day of Pentecost.
Act 2:16-17
We are in the last days - Days of latter rain. Days of open heaven blessings that
our store will not have enough room to contain
(Matt. 3:10). "And they did all eat and were filled..." (Matt. 14:20-21). They
did not just manage the food, they were all filled i.e. overfull to the running over
level. (Luke 6:38.)
The gold is His (Hagg. 2:8).
The cattle upon a thousand hills belong to God (Psm. 50:10) The earth belongs
to God and the fullness thereof (Ps. 24:1). He wants us to have the gold, the
silver, the abundance, the food etc (Hagg. 2:10).

10
 LESSON FOUR

WHY SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES?

God does not do anything without a reason - Jer. 29:11

Here are some reasons why God will surely supply our needs in all areas of our
lives.
1. To support the weak/poor: Supporting the weak/poor is a commandment -
(Prov. 19:16-17, 21:23, Acts 20:35, Matt. 22:37,38)
God's love is only given expression by giving - (I Jn. 3:17)
You are to be a father to the poor - (Job 29:15-17)

2. To support the gospel (for God’s Kingdom sake)

God supplies so that you will be able to serve Him well with His supplies.
(Zec. 1:14-17, Ref vs 17, Matt. 6:33,Ex. 3:21,22; 25:2,8; 35:4,5,22,23; 36:6,7)

IF YOU DON'T SERVE GOD WITH YOUR MEANS YOU'LL END UP

SERVING YOUR MEANS - BISHOP OYEDEPO

3. To preserve the faithful.

God is interested in ensuring the preservation of His faithfuls in the period of
famine. Ps. 33:18-19; 37:18, 19, 28; 31:23.
E.g. Elijah - I Kings 17:6, 16; 19:6)

4.To make you a blessing to others.

God supplies to make you to be able to attend to the needs of others i.e. to make
you a blessing to others (Gen. 18:2-5) e.g. God blessed Abraham to be a
blessing to others - (Gen. 22:15-18.)

11
 LESSON FIVE

THE RELEVANCE OF SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

1. Don't pretend you don't need it (Matt. 6:32; Eccl. 10:19;
Jh.10:10 Phil. 4:19).
2. Money is not the Root of all evil (I Tim. 6:10). The love of money is.
3. It is a defence (Eccl. 7:12)
4. It gives you a voice (Eccl. 9:14-16)
5. There is only one way to get money (Prov. 11:24; Lk. 6:38)
6. When you give money, you're not helping God (Psm. 24:1).
7. Poverty is not a sign of righteousness (Pro. 14:34)
8. Lack (of any kind) is a curse (Deut. 28:15; Gal. 3:13-14)
9. It does not corrupt holiness (Lk. 18:24-25, 2 Pet. 1:4). The thrice How God
has
all the money (Hagg. 2:6).
10. It is not worldly. It is Godly (Psm. 24:1).
11. It is not materialistic (2 Chr. 26:5; Jn:39; Matt. 22:29)

How To Get Money For Ministry/Business

1. Be sure it is God's command. Then:
 Take nothing (Lk. 9:3)
 Mind your mission (Lk. 10:9)
 Don't put your confidence in man (Lk. 10:4)God is faithful (I Thess. 5:24)
 There's wages for you (Lk. 10:7; Matt. 10:1-2)
 Labour with joy (Duet. 28:47:48)
 Be a bountiful sower (Gal. 6:7; Cor. 9:6)
 Impact (Rom. 15:27)
 Take the lead (I Chr. 29:3)

Funding of Projects
 Make sure the project is commanded of God.
 Minister life to the people (I Cor. 9:1). Especially your clients.
 Declare the project to people as God's handwork.
 Hand it over to God.
12
  Never beg for money for any project. No man can help God
(11 Sam. 6:3 - 6)

LESSON SIX

SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES IN THE LIFE OF JESUS

FEEDING OF THE MULTITUDES

Jesus fed multitudes with the word. It become necessary for God to feed them
with physical food. (Matt. 14:19, Mk. 8:6-8.)
He gave thanks. (Matt. 15:36, Mk. 8:6)

NET-BREAKING SUPPLIES (Lk. 5:4-7)

Peter gave Jesus his boat to use. After the crusade, Jesus showed Peter where to
cast his net and a net-breaking supply was made. Peter was born fisherman. He
has degrees in fishing. He has tried at night when he could easily have caught
fishes. Jesus broke all the laws of fishing to make provision available.

ENOUGH TO DRINK (Jn. 2:5-9)

Wine was seriously short at a marriage party in which the mother of Jesus was a
special guest. Wine was supernaturally provided from water. Shame and
embarrassment were destroyed at the party.

MONEY FOR TAX (Matt. 17:24-27)

Jesus and His disciples were to pay an instant amount as tax. Jesus instructed
Peter to go to the sea, cast a hook (not net)

13
 LECTURE TWO
LESSON ONE

HOW TO ENCOUNTER SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

To encounter supernatural supplies you must ensure that:
a) You are directed by God.
b) You know what you are directed to do.
c) You do what you are directed to do.
d) You are at the location you are directed to be.
This means you must have a clear vision from God and be right in your ministry
for you to be well-positioned like the moon to receive from God.
When you are on His commission you are entitled to His provision (Lk. 18:29-
30; Lk. 22:35.) When Jesus sent the disciples out, He gave them nothing, yet on
the field they lacked nothing.

SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES IN THE MINISTRY OF THE DISCIPLES

Jesus knew what He would do and did it and that became backbone of the
supernatural supplies in his ministry. John 6:5-6; 12-13.
The disciples of Jesus also experienced supernatural supplies because they were
taught what it takes to command it by their master. They were told what to do
and they did it. So they lacked nothing when they were sent. Luke 22:35.
The instructions Jesus gave them; these are basic for all who desire to
experience the realities of supernatural supplies in their ministries: Lk. 10:3 - 4,
7-8
1. Go your way.
Go only to where God sends YOU
2. Go not from house to house:
You are not sent a beggar, don't turn Yourself to one.
3. Carry neither purse, Scrips nor shoes:
When you are on His commission, He is committed to make His provision
available to you.
4. Salute no man by the way:
Learn not to lobby any man for supplies. God is the supplier.
Appeal funds, Launching etc. are traps of the enemy to shift your focus from
God to man.

14
 LESSON TWO

AGENTS OF SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

i) Angels (I Kings 19:4 - 6)
Elijah was provided meals twice by an angel of God. Angels are ministering
spirits of God obeying God's commands. (Ps. 103:20.)
ii) Rain (Ex. 16:4, 13 - 14)
God promised to rain bread from heaven.
He did so in Vs 13 - 14. He rained for the Israelites as bread, manna and
quails from heaven. This source is very rare and never recorded again In the
Bible.
iii) Ravens. (I Kings 17:4-7)
Ravens provided bread and flesh for Elijah according to the Bible.
iv) Sea. (Lk. 5:4-7)
The disciples received draught of fish at Jesus command.
v) Fish. (Matt. 17:24-27)
Jesus instructed Peter to go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish
ide you will find money. And it was so.
vi) Humans. (Phil. 4:15,18) (11 Kings 7:1-20)
The Philippians' congregation supplied things to Paul till he was full and
poured them blessings. Also, God caused the Syrian army to run away, leaving
food for His people.
vii) Wind. (Num. 11:31-32)
There went forth a wind from the Lord and brought quails from the sea to feed
Israel.
viii) Supernatural Multiplication
This form of supernatural supplies is most common in the Bible.
a) (Matt. 14:1 5; Mk. 6:41) - Jesus took five loaves and two fishes and It
multiplied to feed 5,000.
b) (Matt. 15:32; Mk. 8:8) - Jesus took seven loaves and few fishes and it
multiplied to 4,000.
c) (I Kings 17:14-16) - Meal and oil multiplied according to the desire of
Elijah.
d) (11 Kings 4:5-7) - The widow's oil multiplied until there was no more
vessel.

15
 LESSON THREE

WAYS OF PROVOKING SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

i) Be sold out to your calling (Matt. 6:33)
The cares of the world are thorns that choke the word of faith in man. Jesus
says the more you care for His Kingdom, the more God cares for You. Your
kingdom addiction will guarantee your additions or supernatural supplies.
ii) Look for Results (Lk. 8:1-3)
Any work you do, look for results. Results provoke rewards. Preaching and
showing makes ministry great, if you lack results you will lack supernatural
supplies.
a) Wages - Payment for service Lk.10:7, Matt. 10:10, Prov. 27:18
God pays those who work for Him. No matter the kind/type of work you do for
God, you will receive wages.
b) Reward - extraordinary wages (Matt. 6:4, Rev. 22)
Rewards are generally not same size as the work done. A reward in most cases
is much more than the work done.
c) Additions - Unexpected/Un-merited incomes (Matt. 6:33)
By seeking God's Kingdom, every other thing that man requires will be added
unto him. Kingdom addiction results into Additions

iii) Give Thanks for the Small In Your Hand (Jn. 6:11).
To provoke the Supernatural Supplies, you must always give thanks to God
concerning the small in your hand.
iv) Be Restful (Ex. 14:13 - 14).
Be not afraid, stand still, hold your peace. Each time there are great needs stay
cool and trust God.

v) Kingdom investment (Phil. 4:18:19)

Kingdom Investment makes the ever-winning minister.

vi) Sacrifice Giving

Every time a need stares you right In the face, slaughter a sacrifice to invoke the
forces of (Ps. 126) and work your way into liberty. 2Sam. 24:25

16
 LESSON FOUR

HANDLING SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

How do you keep the tap of supernatural supplies running?
How do you handle divine provision?

1) BE FAITHFUL
If he finds you unfaithful the blessings stop there.
You always pick the fattest, sweetest of the harvest for planting.
(I Jn. 3:12.)
When God is satisfied with what you have given, He gives you more.
No matter your financial positions, giving Is a must, If you want to be comfortable -
(I Cor. 4:1-2.)
2. AVOID WASTE (Deut. 12:13)
Enjoy the fruit but sow the seed. God hates waste.
Wasting it will stop it. Gather the remnant "…that nothing be lost..." John 6:12
3. ACCOUNTABILITY
God's money and your money are not the same. Separate God's money from your
own.
A pastor should handle church funds as God’s own not as a person money.
You are a worker in that ministry, so pay yourself as you do to other staff and
separate God's money from your own.
4. BE MODEST - (I TIM. 6:6)
Life is in phases, men are in sizes. Live your size per time. 1Tim. 6:6

17
 LECTURE THREE
LESSON ONE
MAINTAINING THE FLOW OF SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES
1. KEEP DISTRIBUTING
Whatever you withhold diminishes, but whatever you give out multiplies. Prov.
11:24
It's not to be kept, It is to be distributed 1Tim.6:17-19.)
Be rich in good works, willing to distribute.

The riches you have are committed to your trust, it's not your own.

The rich fool kept and kept until he was lost his soul. Refuse to love money to
the extent that you worship it.

For every provision that comes your way, there is seed and there is the fruit.
You
preserve the seed so it can produce a future.
The more you give the brighter you live.

If you forget there is what to sow, you won't have what to sow tomorrow.
Willing to distribute, ready to share!

2. BE THANKFUL
Don't murmur (I Cor. 10:10, Matt. 2:1-3). But rather be thankful
(Ps. 50:14, Ps. 100:4)

This is the secret of supernatural supplies in the life of Jesus Christ.

(Jn. 6:11, Matt. 15:36, Mk. 8:6.)

Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gifts (Eph. 9:15)

We present other requests via thanksgiving (Phil. 4:6)

18
 LESSON TWO

HINDRANCES TO SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

a) Not Giving God the Glory Mal. 2:1-2

When we refuse to identify the source and return glory to God, He says He
will curse the blessings. i.e. He will block the source of supernatural
supplies. Remember (I Cor. 4:7.) You have nothing except it be given
unto you by God, so why steal the glory.

b) Ignorance Ps. 49:12, 20; Hos. 4:6

Many are ignorant of supernatural supplies. Your ignorance does not
mean supernatural supplies do not exist. Electricity has been there all
along before Michael Faraday discovered it - People lived in darkness
prior to the discovery.

c) Lust Rom. 13:14

Seeking supernatural supplies for selfish reasons is a sin.Jam.1:15
And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Jam. 4:2.
Ye lust and have not. When you lust after things, you can never receive
supernatural supplies.

d) Wrong Hearts 2Ch r. 25:2

Honouring God with the lips while the heart remains far from God will
surely hinder supernatural supplies. Mk. 7:6
Let us draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Heb.
10:22

19
 LESSON THREE

EXAMPLES OF SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

1. ISRAEL Ex. 16:4, 13-15, Num. 11:31:32
God Himself rained bread from heaven for the Israelites on their way to Canaan.
For flesh God gave them quails. (vs. 13) - And it came to pass, that at even, the
quails came up and covered the camp.
And for bread, He gave them manna - small round thing as small as the flakes
of frost on the ground.
vs. 15 - And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, it is
manna.
2.ELIJAH
a.) (I Kings 17:4 - 7)
There was famine in the land. But God separated Elijah and gave him baked
bread and flesh from heaven's oven via the Ravens.
b) I Kings 17:8-16
Elijah made the oil and meals of the widow of Zarephath to multiply
exceedingly because she obeyed God and served Elijah the last she had.
c) IKings19:4-6
Elijah was at a crossroad running away from Jezebel. Under the Juniper
tree waiting for death, God sent His angels to feed him the food that lasted
Elijah
40 days.
3. ELISHA
a) 11 Kings 4:1-4
God saved the widow from debt through Elisha. "Tell me what hast thou in the
house. As the fish multiplied in the hands of Jesus so did the oil multiplied in
the hands Of Elisha to save the Shunamite widow from debt.
b) 11 Kings 4:42-44
Elisha fed 100 men with 20 loaves of barley and they did eat and left thereof.
c) 11 Kings 7:1-16
A measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel and two measures of barley for a
shekel also, according to the WORD OF GOD declared by Elisha. This was
during a great famine in Samaria (11 Kings 6:25) when an ass's head was sold
for fourscore pieces of silver and dove's droppings for five pieces of silver.
