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 portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
