Multiply your Seeds
“They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.” Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.” “When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.” He asked them, “Don’t you understand, yet?”” (Mark 8:16-21 WEB)
Are you reasoning in your heart, “Oh it’s because I don’t have that, that is why my life is doomed for failure.”
When Jesus multiplied the bread and fishes, He used less food to feed more people.
For the five thousand men, He started with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. After the multiplication, there were 12 baskets full of leftovers.
For the four thousand men, Jesus started with 7 loaves and a few small fishes. After the miracle, there were only 7 baskets full of leftovers.
So since the disciples did not bring any bread with them, based on the pattern, Jesus would be able to miraculously form much more bread than in the previous two miracles, if there was a need!
Your lack is not a problem for God. In fact, the weaker you are in the natural, the more perfectly God’s grace will be demonstrated in that very area.
What is it that you need? Is it finances? Perhaps you feel like you are starting with only 1 loaf and 1 fish. Great—you qualify for great grace! Sow what the Holy Spirit puts in your heart and thank God for supplying all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
He will take that little and begin multiplying it into much. Don’t forget, the little boy had to hand over his lunch before he could see the multiplication miracle. Who has the biggest right to bring home the 12 baskets full of leftovers? The little boy of course!
This is the part where many Christians fail. Once they have to offer something, especially money, they start to justify why it is not needed anymore, and they convince themselves that the church is just trying to rip them off.
The same ones are okay with spending frivolously on entertainment and enjoyment, but seal up their pockets when it comes to giving as unto the Lord.
This is due to lack of understanding about the principle of sowing and reaping. This is the way that God has ordained for seed to be multiplied to the sower.
There is nothing better you can do than to sow into God’s kingdom. Sponsor the Gospel of Jesus Christ and feed the widows and orphans, especially from the same household of faith. Act on this word in faith, and see what happens!
The 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in the four gospels show us God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. As you explore them in “Messiah’s Miracles”, faith will arise in your heart to receive miraculous breakthroughs in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles
