ABUNDANT LIFE VISION

The miracle of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Matthew 14:13-21
As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. 14 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 That evening the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.” 17 “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered. 18 “Bring them here,” he said. 19 Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. 20 They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. 21 About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children! NLT.

Good morning, dear friends. I welcome you to today’s teaching titled, the miracle of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. I pray that the Holy Spirit will interpret His word into our hearts in Jesus’ name. The story in our text is one that we are all familiar with, the feeding of the multitude. Today, I am writing on what necessitated the miracle and how it applies to our lives.

1. The miracle was born out of compassion. Matthew 14:14
The Bible reveals that Jesus Christ while He saw the people had compassion on them and He healed the sick. The interaction that led to the miracle of provision started from the place of compassion. The healing of the sick led to the miracle. This implies that God provides through compassion. When God is compassionate towards someone, he provides for their lack.

2. It was God’s miracle to perform. Matthew 14: 15-17
Concerning provision, it is God’s business. He is the only one that can perform miracles. Humans always see problems and we complain about it but God in His wisdom sees the solutions and He does wonders with little things. He did it with Moses when He parted the Red Sea through His rod. Exodus 14: 15-16: Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! 16 Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground. NLT. The ingredients of miracles are always around us and God turns them into mighty instruments to glorify His name.

Therefore, go to God in any area you need His miracle, particularly those centring on provision and let God turn what you have into the tool for your breakthrough. However, note that the greatest miracle God wants to give you is eternal life which is available alone through Jesus Christ. John 3:16: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. NLT. On this note, if you are reading this and you are ready to give your life to Him, I urge you to do so now by saying this prayer wholeheartedly; Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that you are God who came in human form to die for my sins. I confess you today as my Lord and saviour, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life and I will serve you forever more. Amen. If you have recited the prayer wholeheartedly, I congratulate you and I urge you to join a Bible believing church around you as you begin your growth in Christ.

God bless you.

Noah sent invitation letters to all the animals in the world then, inside the letter, he strictly warned Lion and Tiger not to misbehave around Buffalo and Impala or he would eject them from the Ark

The sun to you is non-existence? The moon and all the wonders of the world is non-existence to you?. If God can create humans , plants and animals whats hard for him to multiply what he himself created.? This is supernatural power not your man made power.

Lesson: Before you preach to a hungry man, feed him if you can, else, don't approach him, if else, ask him if he's hungry.

Not in today's churches. The pastors will still tax the poor and hunger instead of feeding them

As a Christian it's so annoying when I see white people in these images of Jesus.

When I build my house I'll put my image and make my hair curly and be praying to it as my own Jesus.... Since any person can be Jesus now
Re: The Miracle Of 5 Loaves Of Bread And 2 Fish by AntiChristian: 9:00am On Feb 08
Jesus never fed people by himself. No credit to Jesus but to the one that sent him.

Jesus of himself can do nothing!

Since you have been told that you can do anything with that name, multiply the bread with your faith and I will beg for forgiveness.

People take the Bible too literally, first of the miracle of the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes feeding 5k people is not physical bread and fishes. Rather it talks about how little what you have can multiply, just as people that start a business with 1k and transform it into a multi million naira venture. you don't need to have surplus to feed a nation, what you need is faith and resilience, focus on the positive don't rely on abundance you have.

This story and the sun standing still by Joshua is hard to believe.

Scientifically, the sun doesn't move, as they thought then that it was moving based on what they saw 'first lie detected'. It is the Earth we live on that moves around the sun. Peradventure the Earth stops moving, everything will die because everything is in motion. Even the ocean will stop, there will be chaos. If you apply your brain, most stories in the Bible don't add up. It was written base on what they saw at the time.

You can not be an independent thinker and still be religious

I am more spiritual than the so called Pastors or Imams without being religious

I don't have any affiliation currently with any politicians, political group or political party. Infact I don't discuss politics matter outside NL yet I have been having 100% accuracy on some analysis.

Rivers state state of emergency declaration by president Tinubu, the thread which I created demanding for it wasn't even up to 3 hours before president Tinubu made the declaration. That's spiritual thoughts

So how do all these qualify you as being spiritual? Just the ability to predict or analyse things?

Can you predict or analyse when you'll die? Or where you'll die?
