Luke 9: 10-17,
John 21: 15-17
- God’s promise to father Abraham, ‘I will bless you and you shall be a blessing’ is our portion since we came into the full gospel. You cannot be a blessing to others unless you have been blessed.
- Let us take stock of our blessedness in CHRIST JESUS and give thanks to our heavenly Father ‘who has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in HIM.’
- We are blessed so that we can be a blessing to others.
- As Kingdom Labourers, we are like the five small loaves and two small fishes (few and feeble as we are) and the Lord is content to use us to feed the multitudes out there! A thing that is most impossible except they (we) are in HIS hands.
- The first stage in this breaking process is our unconditional surrender to the Lord for discipleship – they brought the five loaves and two fish to Him and He took them. How did you come to discipleship?
- After we are blessed we must be broken, if we will be sufficient to feed the multitude – Luke 9:16, John 12: 24-25. It is in dying that we produce much grain! Hallelujah!!
- After breaking, He distributes us to “set before the multitude” – vs 16.
- The five small, insignificant loaves fed thousands, after they had passed through the hand of the LORD through divine concentration and incubation; like a refiner’s fire and launderer’s soap – Malachi 3:2-4.
- Our relevance is not in what we are or have, but in what we can become when we allow Him to “make” us.
The
instrument and process of Him making us is discipleship.
