LEFTOVERS

Text : John 6:12

 “When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, ‘Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.’”

The miracle of the five loaves and two fish is one of the most cherished stories in Scripture. We often focus on the moment Jesus multiplied the bread, feeding thousands with what should not have been enough for one person. But there is something quietly powerful in what happens afterward.

“Gather the pieces… Let nothing be wasted.”

Jesus, who had just displayed the  miracle of abundant provisions cared about the leftovers.
This tells us something deep about His heart:

1. *Jesus values what we overlook.* 

The fragments, small, ordinary, “insignificant matter”, are still precious to Him.
The small pieces of our lives matter to God:

The unseen acts of kindness,
the prayers prayed in weakness, the moments of faithfulness when no one is watching will never go unnoticed by our God. He takes cognizance of what men easily disdain and He rewards accordingly.

2. God wastes nothing including our experiences.

Your failures, your wounds, your hardships, none of it is pointless.
Jesus is the One who gathers the broken pieces and turns them into baskets of testimony.
What feels like a fragment to you may be the very thing He uses to feed someone else.

3. Provision doesn’t excuse stewardship.

Even though Jesus could create endless bread, He still taught care, gratitude, and responsibility.
 *Abundance doesn’t mean wastage or carelessness.* 
 *Blessing calls for stewardship, not wastage or flamboyant lifestyle.*

*BIBLE READING* : 

 John 6:1-13.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, please gather the pieces of my life that I have considered too small, too broken, or too insignificant and remind me that nothing is wasted in Your hands.. in Jesus name.

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
