John 6: 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” There are blessing and there are blessings. There are those blessings that will sink a ship (Luke 5:1-11).
Those are the kinds of blessings coming your way this month & beyond, in Jesus Name. The little lad gave his lunch, willingly, to the disciples & Jesus, just five loaves & two fishes. That small gift became enough for feeding thousands, they all ate well and were filled.
Then the supernatural surplus. Twelve baskets remained, and the little lad took them home. What a blessing!. God’s blessings are always super-abundant, overflowing. Psalms 23:5 – “…thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over” We do not have to wait until we get to heaven to experience God’s banquet house.
His overflowing, abundant grace is something we experience as Christians in this life. In John 10:10, Jesus says “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly” That is a cup running over with God’s grace.
The life He gives us is perisson, meaning, “to have a surplus,” “superabundance,” “till it overflows.” In Luke 5:1-11, an ordinary day turned into a divine adventure for Simon Peter because of his obedience. He agreed to Jesus’ seemingly insignificant requests, which led to supernaturally-surplus blessings for himself and others.
My prayer is that not only will we feed well, we will be filled & have surplus left-overs, our cups will run over to others, because we serve a God that “is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us” God will move us from being overwhelmed with struggles to overflowing with blessings, in Jesus Name.
Amen.
You will have good success this 2018.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
