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 ...

Becoming a Person of Value - Part 2

In the first part of this series, I shared the first two steps to becoming a person of value: 1. Having the right perspective 2. Valuing people These are foundational principles for building true value. Today, I’ll share three additional steps that can help you on this journey. But remember—these steps only work when you internalize and practice them consistently. It’s not enough to know them; you must live them. 3. Value Knowledge and Learning The third step to becoming a person of value is to develop an insatiable hunger for knowledge. Be a lifelong learner, and to do that, you must remain humble. No matter how knowledgeable you are, there is always something to learn—even from those who may know less than you in other areas. As a Christian, growing in the knowledge of God is essential. It will strengthen your foundation in times of trials and storms. Keep pressing toward deeper understanding of Him (Philippians 3:13-14). The pursuit of God is the most noble quest of all. However...
