Abundance, never an avenue for wastage!

 John 6:12(NIV) " When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." "

When you study the scriptures carefully, you'd notice God has a strong opposition to waste, nevertheless He is a God of abundance, yet He still doesn't tolerate waste. The scripture above is the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, after He had fed the people with the bread and fish, the Bible records there were still 12 baskets left, now naturally anybody who just witnessed such miracle could just have apathy towards the left over, but Jesus immediately tells the disciples to pack the left over, God would not allow any waste, this was an immediate caution from God to them to never tolerate any space for waste. The disciples must have thought to themselves, "we've eaten to our full, what do we need these fragments for again?" But God wasn't going to give room for waste, how true this is, sometimes we are so overwhelmed by how much we have that little fragments don't matter to us, this ought not to be so. Reminds me of a Pastor who said He had prayed fervently for Months to God for more increase in the finances of the Church, He said he became shocked when He seemed He got no answer, then God told him to check a particular aspect of the Church's finances which was making them lose monies, he said then he noticed how much the Church had lost, then as he stopped that wastage, he said the financial increase that followed could not be explained. Abundance is never an avenue for wastage. Do have a great day.

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
