HOW MANY LOAVES HAVE YE?

In the middle of hopelessness and a state of dilemma, Jesus asked a very intriguing question, "How many loaves have ye?"          It is very unlikely to fathom with the hope that any solution could be offered when found in the situation as recorded in Mark 8:1-10. There was hunger, weakness, despair, hopelessness, scarcity and death in view.  The disciples' response was indeed nothing different from mine or yours except we are schooled and able to comprehend what Jesus did to arrest the situation. To have a smooth sail and end well as a Christian on earth, it is important to understand the know-how and steps required to tackle many issues that bedevil us.  As far as the present world is concerned, problems abound. Ranging from health, finance, marriage, family, business, spiritual, and otherwise, every man is encumbered daily with pockets of troubles.  However, these problems are not designed to mar us, rather, they help in shaping our lives for the greater gl

Difficulties Are Failed-Purpose Driven


Challenge, predicament, crisis and limitation of life are defined when one or more areas created to serve a purpose in one’s life are not producing result.

A man is said to be blind when the eyes could not perform its function, lame when he could not use his leg to walk and deaf when the ear could not hear.
Famine is experienced in the land when the heaven refused to give rain and the land as a result could not yield its increase.
When a marriage is not bringing forth children, then the woman in that marriage is seen as the one not producing the expected result. Hence, the Lord asked Abraham, where is Sarah thy wife? Genesis 18:9.


The God of Purpose
 Nothing was actually created without a purpose, for God is a purposeful Creator. He created different organs in the human body to serve different purposes. For instance, eyes were created that man may see effectively, ears for hearing, nose for breathing and all organs for their different amazing functions.
 He made darkness to rule the night and light to rule the day. Plants and animals, dry land and sea, the firmament and the heavenly bodies, all are His craft but with specific purposes.

He caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and brought out of him a rib through which Eve was created as a help meet for Adam.  As we can see, Eve was created a woman, and at the same time, a wife to Adam. And one of her many purposes is to be a vessel through which reproduction process could be finished. And, the same applied to all women including Sarah.

The Solution Is Within Your Reach

For every challenge faced today as an individual, there is always a point of solution already created within our reach which may not be producing the expected result.

Sarah was made an avenue through which Abraham would be fulfilled as a father but due to one reason or the other, Sarah could not meet up in bringing to pass that which was expected of her.

Sarah was not Abraham’s headache as was described by many bible scholars; rather she was just the only point of solution to this particular problem facing Abraham at this point in time. Abraham tried all he could, but all to no avail. They were even in their old age, but the One that programmed the process of reproduction to be a man and a woman affair intervened and the result was marvellous.

Do Not Manipulate God’s Blessing

Sarah was the only help meet to produce this required result in the life of Abraham; you will notice that as a man, even Abraham yielded to the advice of his wife to do it otherwise. But, the aftermath was traumatic and still evident today.
Genesis 16:1-2, “Now Sarah Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarah said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarah”.
So also, you could have tried to fix the problem your own little way, but instead of solution, you experience more hardship. Why don’t you wait upon the Lord?

It is true that time is not really by your side but I can assure you that God is by your side as long as you remain in His will.

There is a purpose for which Jesus Christ died and I know that purpose can never fail even in your life.

 Romans 10:9-13, “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
 For the scripture says, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
