JESUS MEETS ALL OUR NEEDS
Matthew 14:16, "But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat."
The disciples were using natural reasoning and recognized that they didn't have the ability to minister to the multitude's need for food. Jesus did have the ability and the willingness to minister to their needs, so the multitude did not need to depart. All of their needs could be met through Jesus.
The same thing is true today. Some disciples today are sending the multitudes to the world to meet their physical needs (finances, health, counseling, etc.) and proclaiming that God only meets spiritual needs. But, "they need not depart." The Lord is willing and able to heal our bodies, prosper us financially, or counsel us from His Word in any area of our life where we might have need.
Before we can be a blessing, we have to be blessed (Gen. 12:2). One of the purposes of God's prosperity in our lives is so that we can be a blessing to others. The Scriptures instruct us to walk in God's love towards all men, believers and non-believers alike. Jesus told us to love our enemies (Mt. 5:44). In Galatians 6:10 Paul places a priority on helping fellow Christians. This does not diminish our responsibility to show God's love to non-believers. Instead, Paul is simply saying "charity must start at home." It would be hypocritical to step over hurting brothers and sisters in the Lord to find unbelievers to minister to.
God didn't just give us something that He had; He gave Himself. And what was God's motive for giving? It wasn't because of His need, but ours. He was motivated out of love for us (Jn. 3:16). In the same way, we should be encouraged to give unselfishly of ourselves. Pray for Divine appointments, to be used of God to touch someone's life today.
NO MORE SURPRISES :
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God - 1 Corinthians 2-10
God is not full of surprises. He's not an unpredictable being who likes to keep you guessing. Countless believers, however, have the idea He is.
"You just never know what God is going to do," they say. They base that idea on 1 Corinthians 2:9 which says, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." They interpret that scripture to mean that God is keeping secrets from his people.
But, praise God, He isn't!
In fact, verse 10 says He's given us His Spirit to reveal those secrets to us! He wants us to know everything that's on His heart.
If you're in the dark about God's will for you, you don't have to stay that way. He wants you to know about His plans and provisions for your life. He'll show them to you if you'll let Him.
So, don't depend on guesswork. Determine today that you're going to start receiving that revelation from the Holy Spirit. As you read the Word, pray in the Spirit and ask Him to reveal to you the reality of the Scriptures. Ask Him to shed His light on them and show you exactly how they apply to you.
Remember: God isn't in the business of keeping secrets from you. He's in the business of revealing them. Take time to listen to Him and you'll never have to settle for a life of uncertainty again.
TEARS OF GRATITUDE
You proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. —1 Corinthians 11:26
At a communion service my wife and I attended, the congregation was invited to come forward to receive the bread and cup from one of the pastors or elders. They told each one personally of Jesus’ sacrifice for him or her. It was an especially moving experience during what can often become just routine. After we returned to our seats, I watched as others slowly and quietly filed past. It was striking to see how many had tears in their eyes. For me, and for others I talked with later, they were tears of gratitude.
The reason for tears of gratitude is seen in the reason for the communion table itself. Paul, after instructing the church at Corinth about the meaning of the memorial supper, punctuated his comments with these powerful words: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” (1 Cor. 11:26). With the elements of communion pointing directly to the cross and the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf, that service was about so much more than ritual—it was about Christ. His love. His sacrifice. His cross. For us.
How inadequate words are to convey the extraordinary worth of Christ! Sometimes tears of gratitude speak what words can’t fully express.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
The love Christ showed for us on the cross is greater than words could ever express.
RESURRECTION POWER OF JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU WITH STRENGTH, HOPE, PEACE, JOY
With Blessings beyond your expectation, imagination, thinking, Ephesians 3:20
When Mary was worried who will role the big heavy stone from door of the tomb which was sealed by roman soldiers securely.
But Angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and rolled back the stone from the door.
Are you in Impossible Situation, Doors are closed?
Resurrected Jesus will send his Angel and Open the Closed Door, turn Impossible to Possible because there is nothing Impossible for Him.
Disciples were fearful with no hope, they were broken hearted, depressed, frustrated since they left their profession, families to serve Jesus but he is dead now, After Resurrection JESUS Appears to them saying "REJOICE " "PEACE BE WITH YOU" encouraging them , dispelling all the darkness, hopelessness, depression from their life, Filling them with Hope, JOY, PEACE,POWER,
Are you in similar situation bankruptcy, poverty, debts, sickness, sorrows, hopelessness, depression, failures, frustrations, dead situations are tormenting you?
Living Loving Jesus will Appear and Encourage you, Bless you, give you Hope, Peace, Prosperity, Healing, Deliverance, Joy, Power.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY :
"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast." (Psalm 139: 9-10)
Dear Lord God, I praise You. I honor You. This is the day the Lord has made; let me rejoice and be glad in it. Let the larks sing out a new song to greet the Lord when all the happy angels are singing hymns of praise around the holy throne. I lift up my voice to praise God and pray that surely mercy and grace shall follow me all the days of my life, I lack of nothing for God is my creator and provider.
Gratefully, in Jesus’ holy name. Amen !!!
