FROM FIVE LOAVES TO A FEAST: Trusting God with Our Resources

BIBLE STUDY|MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS PT.22|THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES|CHIMDI OHAHUNA Mark 6:31-34 This episode on the Miracles of Jesus reveals that no one is too small or insignificant to be used by God to perform miracles. The only requirement is that one must make themselves available to be used. Until you offer yourself to God, there is no limit to the ways in which He can utilize you for His divine purposes. Consider the young lad who willingly left his meal behind, fully soaking in the words of God. When the moment came to eat, he demonstrated his willingness by placing his modest offerings—a mere five loaves and two fish—into the hands of Jesus. It was then that these humble provisions were transformed into a miraculous feast. This act serves as a powerful reminder that what we perceive as small or insignificant can be more than enough when placed in God's hands. Just as Moses only needed the rod he carried to lead his people from bondage, we too must recognize that everything we have is sufficient for God’s work. Moreover, the lad exemplified a generosity of spirit; he was not stingy with what he possessed. It’s crucial to understand that stinginess cannot foster miracles. We must remember that we have received freely, and it is our duty to give freely in return. Much like the widow described in 1 Kings 17:11-15, who generously offered her last meal, we may find ourselves giving to God through others. God often works through human vessels to ask for what we have at hand, inviting us to contribute to His miraculous works. When we give to the Lord, we must be open to receive the blessings that come from such generosity. It is also vital to note that the lad was in the company of Jesus. To witness such profound miracles, we too must dwell in the presence of God. Absence from God does not yield miraculous outcomes. Thus, living in the presence of God is essential; our faith anchors us there, allowing us to continually experience His glory and power. So, let us remember that no matter how small our contributions may seem, when we fully surrender our resources to God, He is capable of performing great things through us. In our willingness to give, to be present, and to trust in His divine purpose, we open the door to miraculous possibilities. Listen to the full teaching now.
