Everything that gets into God’s hands multiplies

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

Welcome, dear friends, to „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”.

For several days now we have been discussing the how the gift when it is used makes room for us and takes us before great people. When the gift is used it broadens our possibilities and destroys limitations. Thank God for creating us just the way we are.

Dear friend, you have been given the things you need to start your supernatural ministry. Do not view your gift as being something small and insignificant. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude, they argued with Him, saying: “We have here only five loaves and two fish”. I guess the disciples expected Jesus to say: «Oh, yes! Then let the people go, because we don’t have enough for everyone!» But Jesus did not say that. He managed to feel the multitude of people because one little boy gave back to the Lord the little he had.

Do you believe your gift to be small and insignificant? Then bring to Jesus what you have! Everything that gets into His hands multiplies. Do you want to see multiplication and huge harvest of God’s blessings in your life? Then give to Jesus everything you have today.

When the disciples brought to Jesus five loaves and two fish, it was enough for a miracle. Your little gift, your small ministry and your humble beginnings – all these things can be used as a seed for a big miracle for your generation. So do not despise the small beginnings.

Where did the disciples get these five loaves and two fish? Reading the same story in the other Gospels we see that the boy gave to the disciples what he planned to eat himself. When Jesus asked His disciples how many loaves they have, they went to ask the people.

«But He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see”. And when they found out they said, “Five, and two fish”» (Mark, 6: 38).

At this very time Andrew, Jesus’ disciple, found this boy with five loaves and two fish.

«One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, „There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?» (John, 6: 8-9).

Why do I emphasize these Scriptures so much? I want you to see who is at the very source of this miracle: it is a little boy that gave to Jesus his humble lunch. Age is not a hindrance to God’s service. God wants to work through children and youth just as much as older people, Grandmas and Grandpas. The main thing is for us to give to God everything He has invested into us in the form of gifts, abilities and talents through our work.

Besides, I would like to show you some other important lessons. First, I want to show that the disciples needed to seek the seed for the miracle in themselves, not in others. Do you remember the story of a woman who ran to Elisha seeking for a miracle? The prophet asked her what she had at home.

«So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil”» (2 Kings, 4: 2).

Her answer shows that she did not see any value in the single jar of oil she had in her house; besides, she did not understand how this oil could be connected to the solution of her problem. In order for a miracle to be wrought in her live, she needed to find something she had in her house.

The Bible says that whoever seeks will find. When you see many obvious needs around you, it could be because God wants you to meet these needs or solve these problems. First look for the answer inside of yourself; then – around you. Jesus asked the disciples: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see” (Mark, 6: 38).

He did not ask whether they have bread, because He knew they should have had some. But the disciples still had to go and look for some.

Dear friend, how many talents do you have? Jesus is telling you today to go and see. How many talents and how many opportunities have you got? Go and see! Experience that you have could serve for the good of others. Go and see! There is so much in you, but you won’t see any of it, if you don’t get active and seek out what there is in you. You also won’t see it until you start using it.

God bless you!

    It is God desires for every one of His children to continue to grow in their relationship with Him. The reason is obvious from the Bible: until we grow up, we won’t be able to enjoy the privileges God has provided for us as His sons and daughters.“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: {elements: or, rudiments}” (Galatians 4: 1-3).

  • How to develop a habit of prayer in our life?

    «Thanks God, I already have such habit». I am glad about you. The other might say «I´ve already tried, but failed to do so”. I am glad about you too.I pray today, so that this Word helps you to overcome your weakness and instability solving this issue.First of all, I want to stress out the fact, that prayer is love relationships with God. Why do I mention that and why it´s so important when you try to make prayer as your habit. We already discussed it, that prayer is not learning of different methods about how convince God to do our will. Lack of necessity to pray is one of few reasons why believers pray just a little.

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Why are there so much fear, panic, disappointment, weariness and tiredness in the lives of many believers? It is because the Word of God does not abide in them. God wants us to be filled with the Word. When we read the word of God with the understanding that we need the word daily as our source of light and direction, then we are motivated to do read it even more. Since I want to be spiritually strong and able to overcome the wicked one, I want to have the understanding of God’s purpose for my life, I want His direction as to how to carry out my assignment and I want to walk in purity in my life – and for this very reason I read God’s Word and study it on a regular basis.

  • Do not live without vision!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
    Today I would like to share with you a word about building or constructing your future. The truth is that we are a product of what we see. In order for us to reach any goals in life, we have to first see (visualize or imagine) them. So many people do not advance and move forward because of the lack of vision; they only live in the ‘now’. Very often people do not have any future plans; they do not have a clue of what goals they want to reach in this life.

  • In our lives we must reflect the life, the power and the nature of Christ III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Our ministry is to be the salt and light to our society. God has granted us this ministry, but not because we are better than others. God gave us this ministry because of His mercy. Now as the recipients of God’s mercy we do not have any right to condemn those that do not know God and live under the power of the prince of darkness. God is sending us – His children — into the world to spread the light and reconciliation. While doing this ministry, we should not lose heart; we should not allow anything to stop us. We must be courageous and go forward enduring sorrows as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.
