Give what's little to God and He will multiply it back to you

Give what's litte in your hand to Jesus and He will multiply many folds and return it back to you with more than enough.

This is so evident in the feeding of the five thousand. The disciples thought Jesus were asking them to buy bread for the five thousand when He knew His Father will provide food for them. After a little boy presented his five loaves of bread and two fishes to Jesus, He looked to heaven and having blessed the food, He gave them to the disciples to distribute to the multitudes and they ate till they were all full.

While everyone was full, the disciples collected the rest of the food that was left behind and there were twelve baskets full. What little the boy gave came back with such abundance that the disciples were able to collect with twelve baskets full!

In another story, Peter lent Jesus his boat so that He was able to teach the multitudes from the boat as there was more and more people coming to hear Jesus and He was not able to teach from land. Peter was washing his nets at that time for he and his partners had caught nothing the night before.

He thought of nothing by lending Jesus his boat. After Jesus has taught the multitudes, He asked Peter to launch out to the deep and cast out his nets. Peter heeded His word but cast out only one net. What came next must have caught Peter by surprise! He had so many fishes that he had to call his partners for help to reel in those fishes. What Peter probably thought nothing of when He lent Jesus his boat had come back to him with much abundance.

In the old testament, God asked Abraham to "give up" his son to test him as to whether he will give up his son for God. Abraham did as God instructed but at the point when Abraham was going to kill his son, Isaac, God stopped him and showed him the sacrificial lamb nearby.

God and Abraham were in covenant. When faithful Abraham was willing to give up his son for God, God has every judicial right to sacrifice His Son, Jesus, for mankind. He gave up His only begotten Son to die for us while we were still sinners so that we can take His place of righteousness at the right hand of God. His Son is the greatest gift He can give to men.

When God is willing to give Jesus for us, what more will He not give it to us!

Trust God for He is good and His mercy endures forever. Give what is little in our hand and see the miraculous working power of God manifestating in our lives. Give God what little money we have and see God blessings us with more than enough to be a blessing to those around us. We can have all the richness of earth for we have Jesus in our lives!

Give God what little health we have and see Him renewing our youth like the eagles that we can live as long as we want and see good days. We can be like Caleb of the old testament when his strength did not diminish when he was eighty five years of age.

Give God what's little in our hands and see Him multiply it many times back to us. God is faithful and He will do what His word has set out to do. Believe in Him. Hallelujah!

See the bronze serpent on the wooden pole judged

When the children of Israel complained about the manna, many of them were bitten by poisonous snakes and they died. However, God instructed Moses to make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, probably a wooden one, so that whoever behold the bronze serpent shall live and not die.

The serpent was judged when God cursed him that he shall go on his belly and eat dust as he has deceived Eve into believing that it was good to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Cursed is anyone who hanged on a tree.

The serpent, which symbolized the devil has been cursed on the cross. Judgement was pronounced against him at the cross when Jesus proclaimed the redemptive work finished. And on the third day, He rose from the grave and ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God and eternally and righteously striped satan of his power of death!

The divine exchange has taken place at the cross. Jesus has given us His righteousness for our sin so that we can be reconciled with God and call Him Abba Father. We can go to the throne of grace anytime, anywhere. God wants us to draw near to Him all the times. He wants to be close to us and He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us!

Since the divine exchange has taken place at the cross, we no longer have to expect condemnation when we sin. I am not referring go the natural consequence and the punishment of the civil law should we do something foolish and unlawful. I am referring to the judgement from God for the sin against Him. We are eternally forgiven because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

We can therefore expect blessings and good happenings to happen in our lives for the price of our sin has been dearly paid by our Lord Jesus at the cross. We can expect all things to turn out for our good even though they may not be good presently. We can expect God to bless us richly all things to enjoy because Jesus has paid it all and much more!

The devil is powerless against a Christian who is full of Christ. Look to Jesus and give thanks continually for the finished work at the cross. Hallelujah.

Behold Jesus

Behold Jesus for He is the answer to our every need. How then do we behold Jesus?

We behold Jesus by seeing Him in the word. In the bible, two disciples were walking to Emmaus and they were talking about Jesus who was supposed to be the Messiah. It was resurrection Sunday and Jesus appeared before them and drew near to them and their eyes were restrained from seeing Jesus in person.

Jesus asked what they were talking about and they answered Jesus the events that had taken place and the appointed Messiah was nowhere to be found. Jesus answered they were foolish and slow of heart to believe what the prophets had prophesied and beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, Jesus taught them the word expounding Himself.

At the end of the journey, Jesus broke the bread and gave it to them and their eyes were opened and Jesus has vanished from their side. They reasoned between themselves how their hearts were warmed when Jesus was expounded in the word and decided to walk back where they came from. That was a total of 14 miles of walking!

When we see Jesus in the word, our hearts will be warmed as well. We will have joy knowing Jesus is there for our every affliction. We can be assured Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us. We are so closed with Jesus that He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us.

As beloved of the Lord, we can look to Jesus for our every need. We can be assured He will take care of us for the bible says so. The word says we are made whole through the bodily sacrifice of Jesus and we are made righteous by the Jesus' shed blood.

Rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ. For at the cross the love of God and the judgement of God met and Jesus borne all the wrath of God on our behalf. The divine exchange has taken place. Hallelujah!
