"Magic is something someone does for you; Miracle is something God empowers you to do" Ps James Macpherson.
The bible is loaded with examples of countless miracles performed through the hands of His people. The feeding of the 5000 is one of the most insane miracles ever performed. A small amount of food is blessed to provide nourishment for the masses all from 5 small loaves and 2 small fish. Matt 6 tells of how Jesus took the small that they had, blessed it and then distributed the blessing through their hands.
As the disciples distributed out of what they had, God blessed it and gave them more "to be a blessing." Here are two Thoughts on this:
1. God blesses people who give out of what they have: "He gives seed to the sower." God wants us to give out of the overflow of our heart, we need to be full of God so that we don't become burnt out and dry from doing the work of God. Remember the disciples took up 12 baskets full of broken pieces.
2. Position yourself around people in need. The food stopped multiplying when the people were satisfied. God will continue to bless you and your possessions when you are in a position to bless others with what you have. Think of the old widow with the small amount of oil left in a jar. As she poured the oil out it kept flowing until all the jars she had were full, then the oil stopped.
Let's be a team that continually gives out of the overflow of what God is doing in our lives and position ourselves around people who we can bless for the glory of God.
"It's all about PEOPLE"
