Multiplying your loaves - III

As I share on the final part to multiplying your loaves, I will bring to light a very crucial point in sustaining the increase that God brings your way through the process of this multiplication. This is one area that I believe that those whom God has helped to experience this multiplication must watch closely, least Satan should take advantage of them.

Back to our example from John’s gospel chapter 6. When Jesus had fed the multitude from the initial five loaves and two fishes that had been multiplied, He commanded His disciples to gather the fragments so that nothing will be wasted. Amazingly, the scripture records that a whooping twelve full baskets of fragments were collected. Think about that for a moment; twelve full baskets of fragments from an initial five loaves and two fishes!

Why will Jesus be interested in collecting fragments seeing that He could always perform another miracle of multiplication whenever it was needed. His purpose is made clear in the instruction given – that nothing be wasted.

God does not appreciate waste and you can’t be a wasteful person and expect God to continue to bring you increase. Some people have been so deprived in life that the moment God begins to lift them, they begin to indulge in excesses and they become wasteful. Don’t let that be you, if God has found it good to increase you, then He expects you to be a good manager of the resources he has put at your disposal, and this means nothing goes to waste.

Don’t despise the fragments littered all over your place, they may appear insignificant, but they could also mean someone else’s starting point. As you put these things in proper perspective as God multiplies you, then you will see no end to how far God will take you in this journey of multiplying your loaves.

Stretch

Isa. 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. The concept of stretching is very important for anyone who desires to make any meaningful progress in life. God has so designed everything in a manner that makes it almost impossible to make progress without any stretch. Even the human body grows by this same concept. It has been revealed that for a muscle to grow, it must first undergo "micro-tears." When you lift a weight that is slightly too heavy, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only in the repair of those tears that the muscle becomes larger and stronger than before. If there is no tension, there is no transformation. The "pain" of the stretch is actually the signal that growth is happening. So If the human body grows by stretching, it follows to say that to reach anything significant in this life, we must stretch. God will always require ...

Resist The Pressure to Perform

A quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln says, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe." Yet we live in a time when everyone seems to be more concerned with how quickly they can cut down their own tree than with whether their axe is sharp enough to get the job done. This reflects the intense pressure to perform that many of us face every day. When I speak of the pressure to perform, I am not referring only to workplace demands, but to the pressure we experience in our personal lives to produce visible results. Pressure can be a good thing when it is properly managed. It can motivate us to grow, improve, and reach our goals. However, when left unchecked, it can become destructive. One of the surest ways to manage the pressure to perform is by refusing to let the success of others become a source of unhealthy pressure in your own life. If you allow that to happen, you do yourself a great disservice. It is only natural to...

Value Vessels

In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. (2Tim.2:20-21) Men look at the use of a vessel, but God looks at its value. Wooden and earthen vessels in a house may appear more useful than gold and silver vessels, but the gold and silver vessels are far more valuable. God’s point of view, His regard is not for use; it is for value. It is not performance that brings the glory of God, it is value. How do you bring about this value? Start by fixing your Love walk Love is the halmark of our Christian faith Love for God and people is what attracts the glory of God upon a man and makes the man valuable. In a previous article I wrote I shared my thoughts on Paul and Silas’ experienc...
