Readings : Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15
It was just 5 loaves and 2 fishes. When the young man put them in the hand of the Lord Jesus, the limitation over them was supernaturally broken to feed 5000 people.
What are the forces engaged by Jesus to break the limitation and activate the multiplication?
Jesus engaged 4 major powers : the power of wisdom, the power of giving, the power of obedience and the power of thanksgiving.
POWER 1: THE POWER OF WISDOM
What is wisdom? Wisdom is the ability to create ways and to know how to use what is available to perform the impossible.
In John 6:6, the Bible says “Jesus himself knew what he would do”.
In Exodus 4:2, the LORD asked unto Moses, “What [is] that in thine hand?”
In 2 Kings 4:2, Elisha asked a question to a widow who needed to get a particular solution to her, “Tell me, what hast thou in the house?”
It is written in 1 Corinthians 1:27 "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
QUESTIONS
v Are you able or do you have spiritual eyes that will enable you to locate who carry the solution to your problem?
v Does it happen to you to despise yourself or to despise others?
v Does it happen to you to despise the little you have now?
v Are you aware and conscious that you carry something that can benefit others?
POWER 2: THE POWER OF GIVING
The young boy was willing to give out to Jesus what he had so that it can be used to bless others. There is no way that the hand of God can break any limitation unless you are willing to give to the Lord and to others.
QUESTIONS
§ Do you struggle to give?
§ Are you a cheerful giver or a grumbler giver?
§ What do you have that God can use to bless others?
POWER 3: THE POWER OF OBEDIENCE
Nothing releases the blessing over someone’s life like raw obedience to divine instruction. It takes obedience to divine instruction to release the blessing that breaks the limitation.
In John 6:10, before Jesus breaks the limitation of the bread and the fish, he gave instruction to everyone to sit down.
In John 6:11, during the distribution, only those who followed instruction were served as much as they would.
QUESTIONS
§ Do you struggle to obey?
§ Are you obedient to divine instructions?
§ What is the instruction you have received from the Lord and you still struggle to obey?
POWER 4: THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING
In John 6:11, the Bible says that “…Jesus had given thanks…” After giving thanks, the limitation was broken and the bread and the fish were translated into the new realm of supernatural multiplication.
When thanksgiving is released from you to God, it activates God. When God is activated, His power - the anointing - is released to come to your aid and bring about total victory in every area. His activated power, the anointing, will destroy every single yoke (of bitterness, of resentment, …) and remove every burden!
Isaiah 10:27 “...and the yoke shall be DESTROYED because of the anointing.”
If you are experiencing heaviness, oppression or depression in your life right now, begin to offer thanksgiving to God so that He will cloak you with His garment of absolute peace and tranquility which is activated through praise.
"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified." (Isaiah 61:3)
Praise will cause your enemies to turn from pursuing you and to turn upon themselves and to slaughter one another. Your praise will cause your enemy to become confused and to turn from pursuing you and turn upon his own army. (2 Chronicles 20:22-24)
