INSIGNIFICANT

-
Text : John 6:9 ISV 

“ *There’s a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But what are these among so many people?”* 

We shall start a series on the theme "insignificant" using different bible characters as our case  study. Today, we shall be looking at the boy with the five loaves of bread.

When Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward him, he asked Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”
Jesus said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. (John 6:5 & 6).

 *Jesus always know what to do about your situations, He is never stranded* . If He is asking you a question or a favour, He's only looking for an occasion to bless you.

Jesus wanted to feed the crowd that had come to Him, and He posed a question at Philip.  It turned out that nobody had a solution. *The only one that has solution to all of man's problems is Jesus Christ,  as a matter of fact, He Himself is the solution.*

Now, there was a young boy amidst the crowd who had what could be regarded as an insignificant portion.

In response to Jesus' question, Andrew, one of Jesus' disciples said   “There’s a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But he was quick to add, what are these among so many people?”.

Impliedly,  the boy's lunch pack was insignificant amidst the thousands of hungry men. However,  our *God  is one who specialises in bringing a spectacular significance out of  your insignificance, only if you'll let Him.* 

When the breath of God came on the insignificant piece of bread, it was more than enough to feed thousands of men.

All the boy need to do was surrender his launch pack to Jesus. All you need to do is surrender your life to Christ, surrender your situation, your predicaments,  and He will turn your miseries into a miracle. Your insignificant personality can  become a spectacular testimony if only you will surrender it all to Him.


Bible Reading  : John 6:1-15.

Prayer Focus.

1. Father, give me grace to surrender my all to you, so that I  can receive your all.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
