TODAY’S TOPIC: Feeding multitude with little
Text: John 6:5-15 (NIV):
"6:5. When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"
6:6. He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
6:7. Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
6:8. Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up,
6:9. "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"
6:10. Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them.
6:11. Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
6:12. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted."
6:13. So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
6:14. After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."
6:15. Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Welcome to the month of September 2022. Our God is wonderful. We give Him praise and worship for the opportunity. September is the ninth month and first month of the 'Ember.' We have come to the month of harvest, a time to reflect and restrategise to the end of year. Well, let us look up to our today's scripture which showed that God is still alive. There is nothing He cannot do with little or bigger thing available or unavailable. He used five loaves of bread. He can equally do same to you this month. So, you must be careful, cautious and gentle as you scout for December from today. If you faithfully allow Him access to your life, He can transform that you have to millions before the end of year.
