John 6:5-13:
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
This Month (July), God is going to bless you beyond Measure – Amen.
This is a Story that we are all familiar with – But the most important thing that I want to draw your attention to is in Verse 6. It says, Jesus Himself knew what He would do.
Before a Need, God already had a Solution!
When you go through the Scriptures, you’ll find out there are abundant evidence of God Preparing a Solution before any Need arises.
For Example:
- Before Eve was formed, there was already a rib by the side of Adam.
In Genesis 2:18-23, after God had said, it’s not good that a man should be alone; and He said, “I will make a help meet for him.”
God took a rib out of Adam and turned that rib to a woman.
He knew in advance that Adam is going to need a Partner, and He had already Prepared that Partner even in the rib of Adam.
That is Good News for those of you who are trusting God for a Partner – Your Partner has been Prepared, and very soon you will meet him or her, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
- When you read Exodus 15:22-26, it tells us that the Children of Israel came to Mara; they were thirsty, and when they got to Mara they discovered that the water was bitter, so they couldn’t drink it.
And God told Moses, “look at that tree, cut down a branch of it, throw it into the water and the water would become sweet.”
It was not when the Children of Israel arrived at Mara that God began to grow the tree. The tree that made the water sweet was already waiting even before the Children of Israel came.
Everything you need to turn your Bitterness to Sweetness, God will show you this Month – Amen.
- When you read 2 Kings 5:1-14, you would discovered that long before Naaman was born; long before Naaman became a Leper; long before Naaman came to Elisha, River Jordan had been there flowing.
So, when finally Naaman came to Elisha, he merely told him, “go and wash in Jordan.”
It was not the day that Naaman became a Leper that River Jordan began flowing. Jordan had been flowing long before Naaman came.
Everything you need to put an end Permanently to Sickness and Disease (not only n you, but in your family): God will reveal to you this Month – Amen.
- When you read 2 Kings 4:1-7, you know the Story of the Widow who was Bankrupt and the Creditors wanted to sell her children.
She came to Elisha, and Elisha said, go to your Neighbours, borrow empty Vessels.
The result is, before the end of the day, the woman who was Bankrupt became so Rich, Paid off all her debts and she has enough money to live on for the rest of her Life.
*The Point is this: Long before the Widow came to Elisha, she had Neighbours, there were empty Vessels waiting and the Pot of Oil that she needed to solve all her Problems had been in the house.
The Solution to your Financial crisis is already there waiting; God will show you today – Amen.
But then that also goes on to tell us that when we read Galatians 6:7, it says: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
… That is the Law of Harvest.
2 Corinthians 9:6 says, But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
What is God saying here? Before reaping there must be Sowing: Something must come before another.
God already has Solutions to your Problems; He has a Solutions to your weeping. And what He is saying is, all you need to do is Sow!
God has a Solution to the bitter water of Mara, but He still told Moses, “cut down a branch of the tree and throw it in.”
If Moses had said to God, “what we want to do is that we want to drink, what is all these idea of cutting down a branch of a tree?” He would have died of thirst.
If Naaman had refused to wash in Jordan, he would have died a Leper.
You must do your own for God to do His own – He has the Solutions to your Problems and He is merely waiting for you to Play your Part.
When the Man of God told that Widow, “go and borrow empty Vessels, borrow not a few; then lock the door on yourself and begin to pour the little Oil that you have into the empty Vessels.” If she had said to him, Man of God I am not talking of empty Vessels, I am asking that either you give me money or you send for my Creditors and say Please, be Patient.
If she had said that, the Creditors would have told the Man of God, “you are not the one who borrowed money from us: leave us alone let us deal with this Debtor.” The woman would have lost her two (2) sons.
You must do your Part!
The Bible says in Isaiah 55:10 that: He gives Seed to the Sower and food for he Eater.
The moment He gives you Seed, sow it. If you eat your Seed you will die.
In Luke 6:38 He said, “give and you shall be given.”
Your own Part of the job is to give.
How you are going to be giving? Leave that to God.
Before He asked you to give, those who are going to give you in return are already waiting – He has Prepared them!
God knows what He is doing but you must do your Part. If you don’t do your Part, He is not going to Play His Part.
Giving must come before you shall be given.
I will remind you of a Story that you’ve heard several times before.
When we first got to the Redemption Camp here, and we were building the First Auditorium; I told the Area Pastors (that’s all we had then) – They were six (6) of them.
I said, I will cover the Main Auditorium, leave that to me. I have no money and I wasn’t a Businessman. “You use your “Little Faith” to build your Little Dormitory for your Area.
And to cover the Auditorium, I needed Seventeen Thousand Naira (N17,000). And all the money I had was one thousand Naira (N1,000).
… Naira was Strong in those days.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Naira would be Strong again – Amen.
I know you would say to me, Sir, may be you have not been reading the Newspapers.
It doesn’t matter what the News is saying, there is a God in Heaven who can do the impossible – Naira will be strong again (Amen).
I don’t know how He will do it, but I don’t care: As long as my Father says, “the Earth is Mine and the Fullness thereof.” As long as my Father says, “Silver is Mine, Gold is Mine.” As long as my Father says that Wealth will Change hands; Naira shall be Strong again – Amen.
And then one of the Area Pastors came to me, he needed one thousand Naira (N1,000) to cover his own Dormitory. And then he came to me and said, Please Daddy give me one thousand Naira (N1,000).
I looked at him: what is wrong with you? I am still believing God for sixteen thousand Naira (N16,000) and you want to take the only one with me.
I don’t know up till today, how he knew I had one thousand Naira (N1,000).
I told him, “if you don’t get out of my Office, you will be in trouble.”
He ran! But as he was running, God spoke to me and said, give him the one thousand Naira (N1,000).
How can I do that?
If I didn’t know the Voice of God I would have said, “get thee behind me Satan!” I knew Who was talking.
So I called him back and I gave him the one thousand Naira (N1,000). He took the money and began to gallop away in Joy.
And I said, it’s not your fault: your own Problem is Solved now.
And God spoke to me and said, why are you complaining? There were two (2) Problems, we have used you to solve one (1).
That same day somebody collected her house rent in Port Harcourt (Capital City of Rivers State Nigeria) – it was seventeen thousand Naira (N17,000).
And God told her, “take this money to my son.” And she brought seventeen thousand Naira (N17,000) to me.
Before the Problem, God had the Solution – But if I had not given that Boy that one thousand Naira (N1,000) that day, the woman wouldn’t have brought my own seventeen thousand Naira (N17,000) to me.
You must do your Part so that God will do His Part.
He already knew what He will do to feed the People:
I. He already knew there was a boy there with five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish.
II. He knew when the boy was leaving home that the mother was going to give him that food.
III. He knew what He would do, but if that boy had not surrendered his Lunch the Story would be different today.
And at the end of the day – like I have told you before; there were twelve (12) Baskets Leftovers.
Like I Prayed at the beginning – This Month, God would Bless you beyond Measure (Amen).
And I have asked my children before, “what happened to the twelve (12) Baskets?”
And they said, “oh there were twelve (12) Apostles, so each one of them carried a Basket.”
I said no way!
The Bible says, where the water comes from, that is where the water will go to.
The boy went home with twelve (12) big Apostles carrying twelve (12) Baskets of food to follow him home and deposit there.
It is he that gives that receives!
Learn this Principle, let it sink into you – God knows what He is going to do.
When God asks you to give Him something, it is because He wants to do something big for you.
… Do I hear an Amen to that? Amen!
And the most important thing of course, is that when He ask you to give Him your Life, it is because He wants to take that Life and turn it to something Wonderful.
ALTAR CALL
So if you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC, and you have not surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, you are wasting your Life!
And you are getting Old no matter how young you think you are. Stop wasting your Life, come now and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ.
When He takes that “Little Life” of yours, He will turn it around to something very big.
You have to give, to be given – Come and give your Life to Jesus Christ now!
So, if you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not yet Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, do so now.
And the rest of us will Pray, and we will be on our way.
Come and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ – He has the Ability to take that “Little Life” of yours and turn it around. You must give Life first before He can turn that Life around.
Alright, those of you who are ready to Genuinely Surrender your Life to Jesus, talk to the Lord. Ask Him to Please be Merciful unto you.
Tell Him: I have come to Surrender my Life to You. Take over my Life and turn it round. Use it for your Glory. And I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
And the rest of us, let’s Stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them.
Pray that the One who saved our own Souls would save their own Souls also.
Pray that God would give them a Brand New Beginning. Go ahead talk to the Lord
Thank You Father!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
And so Father, we want to Thank You very much for Your Word. And Thank You for these People who have just Surrendered their lives to You today.
Father Please, receive them, forgive all their sins, let Your Blood cover all their sins and wash them away. Save their souls Lord, and Please write their names in the Book of Life.
And as they are Surrendering their lives to You today, Please receive their lives, and turn their lives round for the better.

THANKSGIVING
Now you’ve heard the Word. It’s up to you to show God how quickly you want Him to show you the Solutions to all your Financial Problems.
Everything is determined by your Giving – Give and you shall be given.
You do the Giving and let Him see to it as to who is going to Give you in return.
Sow and leave the harvest to God.
We all have seen Farmers sow and we see that the Harvest is always bigger than the Seed sown.
It is the Law of Harvest that runs the whole world.
If all the Farmers say that they won’t sow any more just for one (1) year, and the world would die of Hunger.
It’s up to you now, God knows how to solve your Problems; it is up to you how much you’ll Give.
So take your Offering, and then lift it up to the Almighty God and cry to Him – Father, I am sowing now, show me the Solution to all my Financial Problems.
Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God.
Lift your Offering to Him, say Lord God Almighty, I am sowing, let me reap. Open my eyes Lord to what to do to bring an end to every Financial Problems that I may have.
Talk to Him: I am sowing Lord, let me reap massively. Show me the Solution to all my Financial Problems – You know what to do; You know the Solutions before the Problems stated.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Now with Joy in your Heart, believing that God has heard you, and that this Month (July) is going to be the beginning of massive Prosperity for you. Dance with Joy to the nearest basket (online) and drop your Offering.
Over to you Band!
Thank You Lord!
