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.

This is exactly 💯 what was taught in COZA today. The pastor touched on all these things you shared. It's seems you posted the church sermon here. Nice one. God opens our eyes to wisdom. Amen.

helinues:
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

Infact u got me with this even if at all am a Christian 🤣 and d looks didn't tear them apart including the Noah himself hmmm

Bible self ehn

HacheNoire:
An adult still believes a man fed thousands with 5 loaves of bread. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Just use your brains and you will know is fiction. It was written like that to brainwash your ancestors about non existent powers.

And na God create person like you o..

angelboy01:
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.

You dey mind am?

AntiChristian:
Jesus never fed people by himself. No credit to Jesus but to the one that sent him.

Jesus of himself can do nothing!

The Gospel says Jesus fed these people and he did it multiple times.

Miusliims claim they believe in the Goispel, yet, here is a Miusliim dennyiing what the goispel says, the same way they try to deiny that minamed is a baby furka!

Highly decieptitve mesuslim will leave the rort, deicay and shiamefful things in his fiake reliigion and will start focusing on other people's religion.

When we talk about reliigieon comparison, a Meusilim should keep quiet because Isleam is a fiaike religgiion copied from other people's reiligions!

No wonder these jewsish people no give christians any level. If una fit believe that kain tin, e mean say you no really get common sense

Antichristian2:
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?

Qiuran says all Musillims will biurn in hiell fiire after death. How are you comfortable with such an eviil promise?!

The first Christians were Jews.

Jesus is able to do all things. So, I believe he did this miracle too.

I don't need any rating from Jewish people to be a Christian.

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.

The sun does move. Everything in the Universe moves; all stars (suns), planets. Galaxies; Everything moves.

But you don't have a problem with giving credit to Muhammad abi

I actually don't know what this world is really turning into, those who think they are wise now are just merely deceiving themselves.
This reason why something is called MIRACLE is always and will definitely be beyond human comprehension, once you can comprehend miracle then that's not a miracle.

This generation have turned MIRACE into MIRAGE what a shame.

Every rich or wealthy person's on this planet earth dreamt big that's why they are were they currently are. Dreaming is a prerequisite for growth and development; so keep dreaming big!

No one still breathing on this planet earth be it atheist, freethinkers, traditionalist and every other persons that lives on this earth would lie that they have not experience miracles even if it is just one time in there every day life that they would be able to explain, I repeat no one!

So miracle can't be logical and will never be (Miracles are not meant to be explained).

Why do men seek for power even in the most radical, abysmal and atrocious way? Isn't it for oppression!

My question is this; Why do most people believe that there is black power/magic, voodoo and it's potency when a native doctor or herbalist pronounces it and fail to believe that there is a higher power bigger than there's?

All I can say is that "where there is good that is where evil resides".

.. Let me clarify. It seem you didn’t quite understand what I meant by Gap

Many people miss the quiet power of the boy with the five loaves and two fishes. It is unlikely he was the only one with food. More likely, he was the only one humble enough to share first. His small act probably unlocked others to bring out what they had, turning scarcity into abundance.


The Bible repeats this pattern. The widow of Zarephath shared her last meal with Elijah and her jar never ran dry. The boy Samuel responded when others ignored God’s call. David stepped forward when Israel’s army froze before Goliath. In each case, one small act of courage triggered a larger shift.

Sometimes miracles begin with power, but often they begin with one person willing to move first.

The other Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) mention the loaves and fishes, but only John specifically mentions that it belonged to a boy.

This is your private interpretation and not the story in the Bible.
Remember the Bible warns against private interpretations.

gsegun43:
Let's not sugar coat anything jawe, the bible itself is meaningless.

and the next time you dare tourch the bible... accept whatever happens to u as a result of your reckless statement.

What was described in that passage is the summer solstice not the Earth practically stopping movement.
BTW, it's not true that everything will die if the earth stops moving. That's your own imagination

You lied. Show us where Allah says exactly what you wrote above? And how is that relevant to this thread?

helinues:
Hahaha, that's why I said none of your pastors are close to my analysis.

If you are not spiritual, you can't be having accurate analysis on issue .

Do babalawo and atheists are spiritual?

Give analysis about when you'll die and where you'll die!

Credit to Muhammad for what? Show us the credit?

Jesus said he can do nothing of himself! So Jesus didn't feed anyone but the God of Jesus did it!

mirrael68:
Jesus as Son of man ( visible person ) you mean. Jesus as Son of God ( invisible) can do anything.
Jesus had two natures- of course you can't comprehend.

Having two natures is illogical! Jesus is simply a man not God!

God is wonderful in all miraculous way through Jesus. But nowadays, juju way via fake prophets.

Why couldn't minamied use power of God to perform miracles like Jesus?

Lolz, he chickened out

I can give you cases like that where science could not provide a valid explanation even after research and counter reseach

Guess who chickened out in the end. 😂
