MORE THAN ENOUGH-3

Text : 2 Kings 4:3 

He told her, “Go out to all of your neighbors in the surrounding streets and borrow lots of pots from them. Don't get just a few empty vessels, either.

Yesterday we established the truth that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think. And that He can only do this based on the workings of His power  at work in you. Hence, all you need do is submit yourself to Him unreservedly.

Today, we shall be looking at how you can further position yourself in order to access the more than enough provision from the Lord. 

In the midst of deliberation on how to get provision to feed more than 5,000 people who attended Jesus' crusade, Andrew brought a ridiculous quantity of five(5) barley loaves and two small fishes. 

To Andrew, He just thought he was simply mentioning a provision that cannot match up with the need at hand. As for Jesus, he had simply brought all that is needed for the miracle of provision. Always learn to be grateful for the little provision you receive from the Lord. *Simply maintain a grateful heart at all times; for the same God who provided the little is the same God who will supply the plenty.* 

Immediately Jesus received these seemingly little provisions, He's got all He needed. He asked His disciples to make the people sit, and thereafter, He thanked the Lord. (John 6:10&11).

The two learning  points here are:

1. Rest: He asked that the people remain in a state of calmness. Sitting position is a position of confidence. *An anxious man cannot not sit. Even if he is sitting, his mind isn't sitting inside him. He is not resting. Stop being anxious. Simply sit and be calm before the Lord.Jesus ordered that people should sit, rest and wait for God's provisions.

2. Thanksgiving: thanking and praising God for  little is a breakthrough to having more than enough.

Learn to be extremely  grateful for little things, it is a way to exercising your heart to handle Big things from the Lord.

Bible Reading:John 6: 5-13.

PRAYER FOCUS

1 ) Father God, please enlarge my heart to be grateful for little things.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
