MEMORIZE:

“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” –

John 16:24

Read:  John 6:5-13

5.  Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”

6.  But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

7.  Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”

8. One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9.  “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”

10.  Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11.  And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

12.  So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”

13. Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

MESSAGE:

James 4:2 reveals why some Christians still suffer from lack. Do you know that if you ask God to end lack in your life, He will grant your request? In today’s Bible reading, Jesus fed thousands of people with five loaves of bread and two fishes. By the time everybody had been fed, they still had 12 baskets extra. When God provides for your needs, He gives you more than enough to satisfy you. Your big request is a little thing for Him to fulfil.

Years ago, I travelled to London on an official assignment, and three days before my return, I had run out of money and needed 50 pounds to buy some books and tapes. I turned to God, “Daddy, it would be good if I could get 50 pounds.” Shortly after, my phone rang. The fellow on the line said, “Biyi?” I told him there was nobody with that name where I was, and as we talked, he got to know who I was. Excitedly, he called out to his brother, telling him that he was speaking with me. Apparently, they had been discussing how they could see me, and now, I was on the phone with them. Eventually, they came over, we talked, and as they were leaving, they gave me 50 pounds. Immediately they left, I said, “Daddy, if I knew it would be this easy, I would’ve asked for 100 pounds.” As I rejoiced over the 50 pounds, the doorbell rang, but before l got to the door, an envelope had been slipped under the door. I opened it and realised it came from a wealthy man who had never given me a dime before. Inside was 50 pounds and a note saying, “I just felt like giving you some money.” Then, I told God that if I had known that another 50 pounds would come, I would have asked for an extra 50 pounds. That night, before I slept, someone gave me another 50 pounds! I became afraid and told God that I was only joking and didn’t want to offend Him. God reminded me of this incident recently and told me I had been foolish. “If you asked Me for 50 pounds and I provided it, why didn’t you ask for 5,000 pounds?”

Beloved, find out God’s will concerning your needs and ensure your requests are in alignment with it. Stop complaining about lack in your life; rather, ask God to meet your exact needs.

Do not waver in faith, and He will surely answer you.

Action Point:

Ask God to provide your needs according to His will, and believe that He is able to fulfil them.
