DIVINE PROVISION

Pastor Gregory Bangura spoke on the theme: "Divine Provision" and called on his congregation to delight in the Lord so that the desires of their hearts will be granted. He explained how God provided bread and meat for Elijah through ravens (1Kings 17:4-6). Pastor Gregory defined Divine Provision as "the providing or supplying by God of something, especially of food and other necessities."
