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

Fulfilling The Purpose of God


For every product that has ever been in existence, there is a producer.
Products are always produced to fulfil a specific purpose whether good or bad.
The formula with which a product is produced is wholly defined in the producer. Except the producer reveals the recipe with which a product is produced, nobody is capable of replicating the same product in the market.
When a product fails to deliver the purpose for which it is designed, then the product is a failure.
However, all on his own, no product would be able to go to the field of the operation to execute his mission without the manufacturer’s instruction sent along with it.

Dear reader, do you know you are a product?
God produced you like every other product for His good purpose. 

Genesis 2:7, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul".

The formula with which you are made is wholly defined in Him.
As the natural man is made with dust, so also the spiritual man is made of the word of God.

1 Peter 1:23, "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever"

However, the natural man is expected to graduate into the spiritual for, with natural instinct, the purpose of God would be defeated. 

1 Corinthians 2:14, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned"

Success is mandatory because you must not fail as a product; hence, the call to give your life to Jesus. Embrace the word of God and grow thereby spiritually.

1 Peter 2:2, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby".

You are not without a manual from your Maker; read your Bible on a daily basis. 

Joshua 1:8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success".

Every instruction about your life here on earth and beyond is fully written therein.
You can be abused, misused, underused, overused or misguided as a product and fail to deliver your purpose when the manufacturer's instruction about you is not fully optimized.

1 John 3:8, "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. FOR THIS PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil"

Jesus was here for the sole purpose of destroying the works of the devil. He was never seen giving attention to any other thing throughout His life and ministry. He successfully carried out the bid of the Father and has thereby forever placed us, the spiritual children of God above every harassment of Satan. Glory be to God!

Just think about these; was it your choice to come to this world? 
Did you choose your parent?
Did you choose your date of birth?
Perhaps your sex was a choice made by you?
Even, if you are now a transgender, there used to be the original person in you.
You may have known your manufacturing date but only Him knows your expiring date.
He is the One that knows all things. He pre-existed you and His purpose for you is the ultimate reason you are still alive today.

Revelation 4:11, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure, they are and were created"

Living outside His word is a life living in error; He created us for His own pleasure and not ours.
Pleasing yourself in any way is contrary to His will, endeavour to please God at all times.
