TEXT: MATTHEW 14:13-21

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah! Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!!!

It’s great to be in the House of the Lord.

As we stand together, we are going to make our DECLARATIONS OF EXCELLENCE in this Year of Excellence:

… Are you ready? – SAY WITH ME:

Out of Zion, the Perfection of Beauty, God shines forth. The Lord my God causes the righteous to shine forth as the Sun.

His Awesome Hands has formed me; His Creative Spirit inspires my mind. He skillfully guides my hands.

Therefore, I boldly declare: I am set apart for Excellence. The Ruler of the Universe has exalted my horn among the Nations. He sets my feet on high! In His Strength, I rise!

By Faith, I Press forward towards the Prize of my Highest Calling.

I believe in my heart, and confess with my mouth: that JESUS is Lord! He is the Vine, I am the Branch; in Him I ABIDE, in Him I BLOSSOM.

As it is written: God, who commanded Light out of darkness, has shone His Light in our hearts;

We have His Treasure in Earthen Vessels. That the Excellence of the POWER may be of God, and not of us!

In this Year, I commit to EXCELLENCE, I commit to EXCEPTIONALISM, I commit to do the EXTRAORDINARY.

In JESUS’ Name – AMEN!! And amen, and Amen and AMEN.

And you may be seated in God’s Presence wherever you are!

It’s always a great Joy to have this time of Fellowship with you;

As we think about what the Lord has done for us in these twelve (12) Weeks, or so. Just to remember where God has taken us from, and where He has brought us to.

For many of us, it may not seems like a great time in our lives; but you know God uses all situations to work out His Purposes. And there is something He is doing behind the scene, to your advantage.

And although you may not see it, God is opening Treasures to you. And get ready, you are about to Encounter Him in a Supernatural way, in a Powerful way, in a Realistic way, in a Life transforming way that will make your life better than it has ever been before.

God does not take us backwards, He always takes us Forward!

And so, as we contemplate all that has happened in the last few Months, on this Planet Earth; this Year has been quite an extraordinary Year in so many ways.

I’m sure that all of, for Years will recount 2020 as a Major Watershed Year. Our children who are older enough, and our grandchildren who are old enough to experience this moment, will recount it for DECADES – as the Year, THE EARTH STOOD STILL: almost everything came to a Standstill.

And we have been impacted tremendously by this virus. It’s not so much the HEALTH hazard – because many of us would never have the virus, many of us would never be affected healthwise.

But it is the Economic and Social impacts, that has severely disrupted all of us.

You know, even if the virus had not come to this Country; even if Ghana had no Covid case; the Economic impact, the Social Impact – the impact on our Economy would probably be the same!

Because we would be cut off from the rest of the world; we couldn’t do business as we would and there would be all kinds of disruptions.

So, whilst we are concerned about the health hazard, it’s time for us to start thinking about how to bounce back from the impact that it has had on us, on our Jobs, on our Businesses, on a Social interactions, in our whole few of life!

So, much of what I have said is to encourage us to know how to face life through this catastrophe that has befallen our world.

So, my Massage today is simple, and I have Titled it: PLACE IT IN THE HANDS OF JESUS.

And you may ask, what should we Place in the hands of JESUS?

We will find out very soon!

… PLACE IT IN THE HANDS OF JESUS!

What do you do when you are in a difficult Place in life?

Time is not on your side, and you have very little Resources, but a huge Problem to solve?

You look around you and what you have is inadequate.

And these days, we are all aware of that.

And so today, we are going to follow Jesus and learn from Him.

We will examine The Miracle of the Feeding of five thousand (5,000):

It is one Miracle of Jesus that is mentioned in all the four (4) Gospels.

Each Gospel account gives a detail that helps us to see the “Total Picture”.

So ideally, it will be great to read all the four (4) Gospels account. But I am not going to be able to do that, just for time; I will love to manage time well.

I will focus on Mathew’s rendering of that account and how the Apostle Matthew saw the account, and the Holy Spirit enabled him to us.

But I will also make references to Luke’s Account and John’s account in my Message.

Just before I read the Passage, it is important to know that The Miracle of Jesus Christ carry both a Spiritual and a Natural Truth.

And the base of it: A Miracle is a Supernatural or Miraculous Act.

… But it is also written for us to learn God’s Principles in it.

And so, whilst we see the Supernatural Miracle, we are also learning how God works; and it’s application to our Natural Lives.

And so let us read the account from Matthew’s Gospel 4:13-21; and this will form the basis.

And like I said, I would be accounting from the other Gospels as well.

MATTHEW 14:13-21 (NKJV)

13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.”

19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

… That means that although we normally call it the Feeding of the five thousand (5,000); If you added the women and the children, the number was way beyond five thousand (5,000).

If you want the other Readings, it will be in Luke’s Gospel 9:13-17; and John’s Gospel 6:4-11.

Jesus, as you know was usually followed by large numbers of people – He was a “Phenomenal Teacher” of God’s Word.

… Of course, He is the Word of God Himself!

And so, anytime He taught, people had such clarity of the Scriptures that they never had before.

But in addition to Teaching, Jesus also worked Miracles in the lives of people, and people were healed.

So on this particular occasion, Jesus is Teaching; and the account says He has been doing it for three (3) days. And the Bible says that He has healed the sick.

But this was not taking Place in a Chapel – it’s not in a Church Auditorium – It is out there in the field.

And so for these number of days, people are listening to Jesus, the sick are Perfectly Healed. But the people are getting hungry, of course, they are human beings – they need food to eat.

And so, there is a challenge Presented in this Place.

And Matthew says in Chapter 14 verse 15:

When it was evening, His Disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted Place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

So, what was the challenge facing them at this time?

1. First, they had Problem a with the PLACE where they where.

The Bible says they were in DESERTED Place.

…. So they had a Location Problem.

The people had followed Jesus to a Place that is DESERTED.

… So the location is wrong!

Many times we have a Location Problem: Where you Pitch your Tent; where you live; where you stay.

For almost all of us in a Nation like Ghana, there is a Location Problem because we are considered the least developed of the Countries of the world.

… At least our Continent is seen that way!

And of the least developed in African – we are Probably the last. But well, I think Central Africa is worse, we top them a little bit.

So growing in a Nation like Ghana, sometimes seems like a disadvantage – The Place is deserted.

So, there is a Location Problem.

And we may feel there is a Location Problem – Maybe you think, if you were in another country – you were in another Place; you would do better.

So first, a Location Problem.

2. They had a TIME Problem.

The Disciples said: The hour is already late; time is against us!

And the reason they said the hour is already late is because it is evening, and the sun is about to set.

And you know those days, there was no electricity and so you couldn’t switch on light.

There was also no Solar Power to give us “Artificial Light”.

… So when the sun goes down, nobody works!

They had a short time for something to happen, because time is against us.

So there is a Location Problem, there is a Time Problem – Time is against us.

And if you look at it, they have a Big Need – A huge Multitude, five thousand (5,000) men, besides women and children!

Hungry People, they have been fed Spiritually, they have heard the Word of God – their bodies have been healed.

But there is something about hunger that is not easy to compensate.

When People are hungry you can give them the Word of God (laughs!); Pray for them; but hunger has its own dynamics.

And so these People, they appreciate the Spiritual Help they have received from Jesus. They appreciate ALL the Good Thing – they appreciate the fact that they have been healed.

… But they don’t appreciate the fact that they are hungry!

And that is one of the things I have come to realize in life: No matter how well you help People; no matter how you try to help People; If they feel hungry, they tend to overlook all the Good that has been done!

These People are hungry – and Jesus understands it; that although I have Preached to them, and have Ministered to them, they have a hunger Problem!

So, there is a SPACE problem; there is a TIME problem;

3. And there is a HUGE NEED – The Multitude.

… And the resources are LIMITED: Five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish!

I like how John’s Gospel renders that – John 6:8-9. It says:

One of His Disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”

… Five (5) barley loaves and two (2) small fish, but what are they among so many?

… That’s the Resources that they had!

Matthew says it’s five (5) loaves; but John goes into a little detail and tells us the quality of the loaves. Then said there are, Five (5) barley loaves.

Now, why does John say Five (5) barley loaves?

Because in the days of Jesus, top Priority loaves were made from Wheat.

Just like our time here; barley loaves were made inferior – Cheap Quality Loaves.

So what they are saying is: What we have is Cheap – it’s barley loaves.

And then we have five (5) barley loaves bread and Two (2) fish.

… But he didn’t say fish – John qualifies the fish and says it’s two (2) “Small” fish.

In other words, the Quality is inferior; the Size is inferior!

So you have barley loaves – Not even wheat loves. And you have fish that are small – Not even Tuna (Big Tuna fish) but Two (2) small fish.

And so they themselves looked at the resource available to solve this Problem – and they asked a very big question; “What are they among so many?

… So they have and they depreciate it!

And many times we go through life that way: We look at what we have in our hands – It may not be barley loaves. But it might just be Fifty (50) Cedes; it may be five (5) Cedes, it may be a hundred (100) Cedes!

… And yet, it doesn’t seem like much!

What is this among so many? – That is the question that they asked!

What is what I have in relation to the problems I have to solve? And the TIME frame that is against me; and the LOCATION that is fighting against me?

I came to announce to somebody today: God is about to work something in your life; in your Business. In the next few Months, in this year – Amen.

What you hold in your hands that seems inferior; What you hold in your hands that seems small; the Place that you are seems to be disadvantage; the Time that you is against you – God is about to bring all these together, and put into a Package, to work a Miracle in your life – Amen!

And as we bounce back from the hazard of this virus; we are going to be faced with Limited Resources, Time against us, Location disadvantage, barley loaves, two (2) small fish.

And we are going to ask ourselves; How can we use this?

For our Nation (Ghana), how are we going to use the little resources and the disadvantages we have?

For you as a Person, for Churches – Some of which are not even sure when we open, will People will come back to Church?

So you look at the little you have: Maybe you are a little Church in a little classroom and you are wondering – How am I going to survive after this?

… God says: He is about to work something in your life – Amen!

Yes, the Location doesn’t favour you, Time doesn’t favour you, Resources are limited – they are cheap, they are inferior.

And you are asking yourself: What are these, among so many?

So, THE PROPOSED OPTIONS:

The Disciples says: Well, looking at where we are, the Time that is against us, and the Resources that we have:

1. SEND THEM AWAY!

In other words: Don’t even try to solve it, Jesus.

Because Jesus asked them: What should we do?

And they said: Sir, shut down the Business, declare bankruptcy, send them away. There is no way we can solve this – Nothing is at our advantage!

… That’s Option No. 1.

And if you have thought of it this way too, I want you to know that God thought of you and put it in the Scripture – there will be People who have this Option!

… There is Option No. 2 and that is the Option Jesus gave:

2. Jesus said: GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT!

And they looked at each other and said Lord: Do You really understand where we are? – We are in the desert. The next Village is far away!

And even if we have so much money and we go in to Village, we wouldn’t even have enough bakers to bake enough bread for these People. And we are not even sure how much money is required to feed these Multitude of People.

… But Jesus said: GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT!

God will give you something to eat – Amen. God will intervene in your situation – Amen. The Location is wrong, the Resources are limited, Time is against you.

But I hear Jesus speaking from the Sanctuary into our lives today; Give him something to eat; Give her something to eat; Give them something to eat.

…GOD is about to give you something to EAT – Amen!

So, Two (2) Options:

1. Send them away, don’t try to solve it – Disciples,;
2. Jesus – Give them something to eat.

Now if you were there, whose Option would it be? If you were in the Multitude?

Maybe some of them would say: I think the Disciples are smart.

Oh, they are Practical People! So let us go.

And some of them would say: Well, I think Jesus knows how to solve Problems like this.

Although we haven’t really seen Him do something like this but, we think He can do something about it.

Where would you be?

Would you say: Well, let me close shop or give them something to eat?

… I trust JESUS, or I trust the Disciples – Where is your Faith?

… What is this, among so many People?

So, one of the Disciples comes and say Lord, there is a young boy here who hasn’t eaten his food! He has kept his five (5) loaves of bread, two (2) fish.

… Remember, this is a small boy’s lunch – it’s not an adult lunch.

So in my mind’s eye, I can imagine (if he is a lad) probably age fourteen (14) – He is going to hear his mother says: take this bread and take this fish.

He didn’t have anybody and he didn’t look old man in my eyes! So this is a small boy’s meal.

And they said: Jesus, this is all we have!

And Jesus says, fine! Now let’s try to solve the Problem.

So, Let’s see HOW JESUS SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

Luke’s Account – in Luke 9:14 -15. For there were about five thousand (5,000) men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” And they did so, and made them all sit down.

Five thousand (5,000) People must HAVE – It is very difficult to feed!

When you saw the Problem, BIG as it is, it is difficult to solve it.

So, Jesus introduced a Process – He said to the Disciples: There are over five thousand (5,000) People here; let them sit down in groups of Fifty (50)!

So, in groups of Fifty (50) and there are about five thousand (5,000) People – that means one hundred (100) Groups!

So, instead of solving five thousand (5,000) Problems, Jesus now, is looking at it in groups of one hundred (100) with fifty in each Group.

If you probably double it, they will be about two hundred (200) Groups – spread out there!

And what did Jesus teach us there?

He teaches us that even when you have all the solution, you have to ORGANISE the Problem.

You don’t have to deal with the matters as they are – You have to organize the matters!

After organizing the People, you have to put them in “Proper Structured Groups”. Otherwise your Resources (no matter how Miraculous thy are) will be abused!

Jesus knew the FULL number of the People; Jesus understood the SIZE He had to deal with – so He rearranged the People!

… They came together as a Mass, but He put them into organized Groups.

One of the things I have learnt (and I’m sure you have also learnt it in life) is that – Normally when you break down Problems, it seem easier to solve.

… Normally, just break them down!

Many times the Problems just look so big, and then you break it down.

And as a matter of fact, in most Mathematical Problems, the solution is just breaking it down! – Breaking down the equation to the lowest level, then you have the answer.

So, the ability to Segment the Problem: Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Creator of the Universe; understood that when you are dealing with things that and Natural and Human – you have to Organize it Properly.

So, maybe your Problem is HUGE, but if you segment it well; if you break it down well; if you put them in groups, so that the Problems don’t walk from one group to the other; so that the Problems don’t interact with each other. But you solve one, and solve the other, and solve the other!

Probably, it will make you see that: Although your Resources are small, it can WORK in a large situation.

… So, it’s an important key!

Maybe as you look at all the issues that you have, you to start segmenting them: What is your Marriage Program? What is your Children Program? What is your Business Program? What is your Finance Program? What is your Human Resource Program?

Which one is a Structure Problem? – Whatever it is – just BREAK IT DOWN; and see it clearer.

And Jesus made everybody sit down!

The days of Jesus were quite close to the days we are living in Ghana – if you don’t make People sit down, they will trample over the food you are giving to them.

… We have seen it happen several times!

Jesus made the People SIT DOWN – That just shows you how smart Jesus is.

And so, let’s see HOW JESUS APPLIED THE RESOURCES.

MATHEW’S ACCOUNT – In Matthew 14:19;

“Then He commanded the Multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the Disciples; and the Disciples gave to the Multitudes.”

1. When JESUS was offered the five (5) loaves, two (2) fish, He TOOK it! – He took Ownership of it.

At that time, the five (5) loaves were no longer the little boy’s five (5) loaves; they were Jesus’ five (5) loaves.

… This is the most important thing I want to bring to your attention today.

May be what you have is small, and the time is against you, the location doesn’t favour you. But you have to learn to put it in the Hands of JESUS.

Somebody says: But Pastor, how do I put it in the Hands of Jesus? He is not here. Where do I find Him to put my Problems and Resources in His Hands?

… You do it by PRAYER!

And how do you do it?

You TOTALLY surrender it to the Lord! And you trust in Him ABSOLUTELY, and you allow Him to OWN IT.

In other words, Once you say: Lord, I give it to You, you don’t continue worrying about it.

He has come for it but don’t be worrying as if you MUST solve the Problem. Because the moment you do that, you haven’t put it in God’s Hands; you haven’t put it in Jesus’ Hands.

When you put it in JESUS’ Hands, He is the OWNER – and you have to trust Him.

So somewhere in your life, somewhere in the next few days, you have to make a “Quality Decision” – To take what you have in your hand and say: Lord, I don’t even know how big this is among so many. But I PLACE it in Your Hands; I TRUST You with it. And from today, I refuse to be anxious and I refuse to worry.

Because it is in Your Hands: My Five (5) loaves and two (2) fish are now YOUR five (5) loaves and two (2) fish.

You have to give it to Him, You have to Trust Him with it; and you have to do it in PRAYER.

And when you do it in Prayer, it has to be a Commitment that is REAL.

Don’t put it in His Hands, and then you go and take it tomorrow morning. When you put it in His Hands, learn to trust Him.

And say that in Prayer; commit it to Him in Prayer.

… So, Jesus took OWNERSHIP of it, because it was given to Him.

2. Then, He BLESSED IT.

He Blessed it! It was small, but He Blessed it.

So, the word Blessing means to Celebrate it, to speak well of it. It means to set it apart. It means go Invest it with Glamour.

3. And then He BROKE IT.

So there is something you have, something I have!

If you are a Pastor, it may be “Diminished Congregation”; If you are a Business Man – “Diminished Business, Goods and Services or Resources, or Capital.

Probably, these Months of staying at home, you have just consumed your Capital – Your Working Capital is gone!

Then you have just very little left. And you are not sure;

Can I start my business all over again? Can I start Church all over again? Can I start my School all over again? Can I start whatever am doing all over again?

How am I going to make it again? How am I going to recover what I have lost?

But this is all you have!

Understand that this is all you have because you are in a Deserted Place, the Time is against you. But God left something in your hands.

What if there was no boy with five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish?

But Thank God there was one (1) person who had not eaten his lunch. For three (3) days – he has been holding his lunch. And they have eaten theirs, but this boy has not eaten his!

So, look into your hands – there is something that has not been eaten; there is something that has not gone; there is something that has not left.

It may be a building, it may be land, it may be some money, it may be relationship, it may be a contact! – Whatever it is, IT WAS NOT EATEN: it’s still there in your hands!

And you have to trust God with it!

It’s a Radical Faith – it’s Radical Faith, it’s not wishy washy Faith.

… It is TOTALLY ABANDONING YOURSELF to the Lord!

… And say: Lord, this is all I have – I Place it in Your Hands.

Jesus Christ Himself says: Except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and DIES – it abides alone; but when it falls to the ground and it dies – it will germinate, and it will bear much fruit.

When you put it in His Hands, it is dead from you, but ALIVE in His Hands. And He will cause it to germinate.

Now, I want you to just look at THE RESOURCE – the five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish.

In the hands of the boy, it was just five (5) barely loaves and two (2) fish – very limited and inferior.

In your hands, it is limited and inferior; in the hands of the boy, it is limited and inferior.

In the hands of JESUS – It is Celebrated! It is not despised. Jesus BLESSED it!

… And the Lord would BLESS what you give to Him.

4. Then Jesus didn’t keep it in His Hands – He lifted it up to the Father’s Hands.

In the Hands of the Father, it transformed – from Inferior Limited, to Expensive Unlimited.

5. Then Jesus took it back, and He released it in the Disciples’ hands.

In the Disciples’ hands, it was Multiplied.

6. And in the hands of the People, it Satisfied!

Many times I Picture what that Miracle looks like. And it is the only Miracle that is narrated by all the four (4) Gospels because SO MANY People were there – Thousands of People!

And I can imagine the number of People who went on talking about it:

You know what happened today? We were in the wilderness and Jesus had only five (5) loaves and two (2) fish. And look! He FED ALL OF US.

Thousands of People reported that! – It was a Miracle that could not be avoided.

Most of the Miracles of Jesus happened to one (1) Person – one (1) Person at a time. One blind Person, one lame Person, one mute Person, or a small family.

But this was thousands!

… ALL, not Spectators, but benefiting from the Miracle!

… In the HANDS OF JESUS, it changed!

So I have always wondered (in my mind I Picture): The boy has five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish. Jesus takes it – it’s still five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish.

He lifts it to God and Prays: It’s still five (5) loaves of bread, two (2) fish. He brings it down; It’s still five (5) loaves of bread, two (2) fish – Nothing has changed!

If you look at it, you wouldn’t know a Miracle had happened – He gives it to His Disciples and that is when the Multiplication starts!

So, he gives it to Peter; Peter, take this bread and share.

And Peter goes, he breaks a part of the bread, and the bread FILLS up! He breaks, the bread fills up!

Andrew is breaking and it’s filling up; he is breaking and it’s filling up.

So, you never see the Miracle until it leaves JESUS’ Hands and you start APPLYING it – you start choosing it!

… That is when the Multiplication takes Place.

You are not going to end up one day you look at yourself, Oh! I have a thousand (1,000) loaves!

It is when you use those fifty (50) Cedes, that one hundred (100) Cedes; that little thing you have that God starts the Multiplication Process.

So, after you have committed it to Him, you have arranged the People; Use what you have! The Multiplication starts when you use what you have committed in to the Lord.

And so, it continues going; continues going – five thousand (5,000) People were fed.

… These are men who are hungry – Some of them, hungry for three (3) days;

I’m sure they went for second (2nd) Helping, and the third (3rd) Helping. And that they ate more fish and more bread!

And when they saw that more was coming, they asked for more!

And I know how the society it: I’m sure everyone had their belly full.

Now, when they couldn’t eat any longer, they dropped what they had in their hands.

Then they gathered what was leftover – twelve (12) baskets (huge baskets) of what was not eaten. Whaooo!

Can He do that today? – He is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever!

So I’m speaking to us on all levels; for us as a NATION, the little we have, we have to start all over. As well, we have to trust God with it – and it will feed the People. We can have Restoration!

For big Industries; I have heard Companies go bankrupt – That is heartbreaking!

Sometimes, I wish those People knew the Lord; and trusted Him a little bit more.

… Alas, Balanced Sheet was their Faith, and they shot down!

But there at Companies that have been reduced to almost nothing but you are about to bounce back!

For families, you have eaten all your Savings; but there is something left – God will use it!

For individuals, God will use what is left!

For Small Scale Businessmen – You operated Kiosk, or you carry your business on your head, or you have a table top. And everything seems to have been gone!

But if you Trust Him – not just a “Religious Trust” but a “Radical Faith Trust”; then you can trust that God will take the little you have and Multiply it.

If there is any time we have TRUSTED GOD – this is the time!

If there has been any time when we said: Lord, either You or I DIE! – This is the time.

And you will not die; you will not die! You will not die in this wilderness – Amen.

Although Time is against you, God will come through with a Miracle – A Transformation.

And so for all these People, they were all FED, before the sun went down.

Isn’t that amazing? – Within probably an hour!

Because this happened probably around 4:30pm – sun goes down may be 5:30 or 6pm.

Within that time; that Miracle had taken Place – Everybody fed, and everybody goes home.

Jesus said: Let us go home!

But a Testimony – so Radical, that all the four (4) Gospel Books announced it.

I believe God is going to give you a Testimony so Radical – that the world would hear of you – Amen!

And the world would hear about People who had so little, and yet trusted the Lord God, that He can FILL IT UP!

May be you are saying: Pastor, are you really sure my only assurance is God?

I have no Capacity to Change your life but God has MORE THAN ENOUGH to take the little you have and transform it.

I am not Preaching myself; I’m introducing you to Jehovah Jireh – The God who Supplies; the God who is More Than Enough!

And if you TRUST HIM, He will not put you to shame! If you depend on Him, He will take what you have, and Multiply it!

So today I came here with a simple Message to you: Place it in the Hands of Jesus – That is all!

1. It is SMALL – PLACE IT in the Hands of Jesus!
2. You are in a DESERTED Place – Place it in the Hands of Jesus!
3. TIME is against you – Place it in the Hands of Jesus!
4. What you have is Inferior – Place it in the Hands of Jesus!
5. It is too Small – Place it in the Hands of Jesus!
6. What is this, among so many? Place it in the Hands of Jesus!

ALTAR CALL

So we are going to PRAY this morning; and I want you to Pray a Prayer of Surrender:

Look into your hands (literary) and imagine all that you have – your Bank Account.

Most of us can remember the figure, to the balance – because we check it daily. And it is not Good!

So, you remember your Bank Account, you know what is there, you know what you have.

I want you to stretch your hands wherever you are and imagine what you have – And say: Lord, this is what I have, this is what I have; and give it to Him, and say:

Lord, from today I Trust You, that You will take this, and use it. In this HARD Place, in this Season of Covid – when even mightier Businesses are collapsing; that you will cause me to experience a “Supply and Transformation”.

Let us begin to talk to God – Pray and talk to Him.

We Trust You Lord (repeatedly) it doesn’t seems like it, we Trust You. It doesn’t seems like You can help us, but we Trust You. Time is against us, but we Trust You. We Trust you (2ce)!

Just talk to Him from your heart, because He hears you – He is your God!

CLOSING PRAYER

So our Heavenly Father, our Great God Jehovah, You created all things out of Nothing!

When there was Nothing, You were there; and out of Nothing, You Called the Universe into Existence.

You sustain all things by the Words of your Power. You who formed us in our mother’s womb, when we were nothing but a tiny dot – You brought us thus far!

You who helped us in the beginning to build what we have, today we take the little we have in our hands and we put it in Your Hands!

For every mothers, for every fathers, for every widows, for every widowers; for every “Deprived Persons”, for Businesses that has been hit so hard; we PLACE ALL that we have in Your Hands.

Lord we say that from today, we Trust You with it. We refuse to worry, we refuse to be disturbed. We walk by Faith and not by sight.

And we Trust You that before the Sun goes down; before this Year is over – You would cause the little that we have put in Your Hands to become the Source that will cause Multitudes of People Glorify Your Name in our lives.

In JESUS’ Name – Amen!

If truly you trusted God, don’t go back and take it from His Hands – It is DONE, it is FINISHED, it is SETTLED.

Just trust the Lord – and He will show Himself in the wilderness of your life – AMEN!
