Waste Nothing

 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. - John 6:12

One of the astonishing miracles Jesus did was the feeding of over 5000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fishes (John 6:1-13)

But there is a very important lesson to be drawn from that miracle. After everyone was filled, they had surplus and Jesus instructed His disciples to gather all that remain and ensure nothing is wasted.

Because there is excess doesn't mean there should be waste.  God dislike wasting things. Not only does this miracle show us Jesus thrift in the employment of the supernatural, but it teaches us our duty of thrift and care in the use of the spiritual grace bestowed upon us.

God doesn't want us to be wasteful, he has blessed us abundantly so that we can have leftover to keep.

Whatever God has blessed us with, we shouldn't waste it. We must ensure as Jesus instructed that nothing is lost. Because you can afford so many things doesn't mean you can waste it. We all are going to give account of how we have utilized the blessings of God.

Many countries  are presently in recession simply because they operate a regime of un-cultured and wasteful spending, no savings was made from their excess revenues.

It's another lovely day. It's another special day. On this day, I pray that you will never experience lack but remember let nothing be wasted!

Good Morning and do have a fantastic Tuesday!

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Song: These Walls

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
