“THEN BRING THEM HERE TO ME, ”JESUS SAID.
Matthew 14:18
Jesus is saying:-
BRING.
This means Jesus is saying:- Now I will lead and transform the situation of lack into abundance.
We all know this incident in the Bible. Note :- REMEMBER THE BOY. Little boy following Jesus with five loaves & two fishes was used to feed to the multitude.
Like this little boy let’s BRING something to Jesus.
Ask this question to yourself:- What is that little with me, which Jesus want to use it?
This boy, who was carrying food for himself, was not aware that it will be used by God. His mother while cooking didn’t thought that SHE IS COOKING FOR THE MIRACLE!! This boy was ready to give his little. He was used because he was carrying a blessing in his tiffin box. He was ready to SAY YES LORD!! Even we are carrying Heavenly Blessing, point is are we ready to say YES? ARE WE READY TO GIVE OUR LITTLE? This boy didn’t criticize about his little food however many times we criticize our little things. Always remember your little is enough for Jesus to feed the multitude. Small prayers, small word of Encouragement, small prayer meeting, small cup of tea, small house, small small & small… GOD WILL TURN IT INTO A HEAVENLY MALL. AMEN.
The widow’s offering (Mark 12: 41–44). She was noticed by Jesus. In God’s eyes, quality is more important than quantity.
The widow gave, not because she could, but because she wanted to. She was financially broken but without saying a word she became the voice of active faith. She didn’t claim God’s promise to provide “someday”. She claimed it immediately by giving away all she had and choosing to believe that God would supply all her needs.
The little boy & this widow , both are teaching us the value of small/ little that we have.
Jesus modelled the behavior and the heart God wants from His people so we wouldn’t have to guess what was expected. As children of God, we are called to make our lives living sacrifices to the Father who sent His Son to die in our place.
This nameless widow & this boy has been known worldwide in every generation for the past two thousand years for the simple act of generosity. We don’t know their names however God have CALLED THEM BY THEIR NAMES.
Prayer:-
Let not my name be famous, but Lord let your name be Glorified on the earth through my life, I am a blessing carrier & I have a faithful heart in Jesus name I pray
AMEN.
