TOPIC: PROVIDED AS PREDICTED
TEXT: Luke 22: 1 – 23
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! 23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

INTRODUCTION TEXT
Jesus was to hold the Passover with His disciples before His crucifixion, so He directed Peter and John to "...go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat" (v.8). The two disciples asked Jesus a logical question; "...where will thou that we prepare" the Passover? Then Jesus gave them the guideposts for the urgent need of a venue for the Passover.
From the story above, we see that if we are committed to the will of God and the purpose of the "Passover", He will certainly provide all things necessary for the feast. Are you faced with a need or challenge? Involve Jesus! Ask Him where He wills that you prepare the 'Passover'; then you will see that once your need becomes an agenda before the table of heaven, whatever that need is, it shall be provided as predicted by Jesus.
Prayer: Lord, give me the direction and discernment to fulfil your purpose for my life, Amen!
