Christ Our Bread

DATE - February 25th, 2022

TOPIC - Christ Our Bread

BIBLE TEXT - About this time another great crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. And if I send them home without feeding them, they will faint along the road. For some of them have come a long distance.” “How are we supposed to find enough food for them here in the wilderness?” his disciples asked. “How many loaves of bread do you have?” he asked. “Seven,” they replied. - Mark 8:1-5


Jesus enlisted his disciples to help him feed the multitude of people gathered to hear the Good News. They had no idea how the hungry hoard could be satisfied; they had so little to offer them. But when they gave Jesus the resources they had, a miracle occurred, and there was plenty of food for everyone.

Jesus asks us the same question today that he asked his disciples then: “How many loaves of bread do you have?” We may feel that we have no resources to give, but there are hungry people to feed. When we give Jesus our “bread,” whether it is our time, money, or special talent or skills, he is able to take it—however little it is—and make it life and refreshment for many. 

Christ is our sufficiency when our personal resources are insufficient. He is our adequacy when we are inadequate. And when we yield all that we are and have to him, he can do more with it than we could ask or think. Express your desire for the Lord to use you today. Then be obedient to what he directs you to do with the “bread” you have.


PRAYER
THANK YOU, LORD, for the miracle you performed to feed the multitude and thank you for the ways you are still doing miracles today as we give what we have to you. There are so many in the wilderness, people who are physically and spiritually hungry. Strengthen me, use me, and prepare me to partner with you in what you are doing on earth.

INSIGHT
Christ is the bread for men’s souls. In him the church has enough to feed the whole world.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...
