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!

    «…Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.» (Habakkuk 2:2).Make notes of everything you believe in, everything that God speaks to your heart during prayer, fasting or Bible studies on the paper! For example, you may say: “I wish I could preach the word of God followed by miracles and wondrous things”, or “I wish I could bring relief to orphans by giving some of them a shelter in my house”, or ”I want to establish a school for those who would minister in the church”.

  • Responsibility as a Key to Success!

    Why is it important to be a responsible person?One of the reasons is that the level of authority and power is directly related to how responsible you are. Even if you seem to have authority with people, but you treat life lightly, it is highly probable that soon enough you will lose your standing with people. And it applies to all settings: whether it is church, family, business or individuals. Responsibility, success and authority – all these phenomena are closely related. You cannot be successful and irresponsible at the same time.

    «But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses» (1Timothy, 6:11-12).We say that these three things help us to lay hold on eternal life. We also established that eternal life has its beginning on earth when we get to know the only true God and His Son Jesus Christ.

  • Sacrifice as a measure of love! III

    It is not hard to love God – simply think about Him, think about what He does for you every day, and your natural response will be gratefulness. Worshipping God will become a natural thing for those who think about Him and His works. God loves you very much. But, if you live and at the same time do not think about Him, do not see what He does for you, it is hard for you to sacrifice; particularly – it is hard for you to sacrifice your busy daily schedule, your finances, your time, your comfort, because you do not think about Him.

    Every one of us tries to help people by giving advice or recommendations. There are moments in life when we want to reveal certain truths to people so that they could make right choices. Every one of us needs counsel and guidance. It says in the Bible: «Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counsellors they are established» (Proverbs, 15:22).

  • It is extremely important for us to grow in God’s character and nature so that we can effectively function on earth

    «It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, for a throne is established by righteousness» .In order for a throne or a reign or government to be established, it must be done by righteousness or truth. As we’ve said before, in Paul’s Epistle to Romans we are told that we rule on earth by the gift of righteousness (see Rom.5: 17).The Power, authority and wisdom to rule on earth come into our lives through our uncompromising stance against sin and unrighteousness. If we choose righteousness and total submission to God and His commandments as our lifestyle, then God can channel His authority into our lives; our life will be filled with God’s authority, and God will grant us the right to rule and reign on earth.
