Topic :Walking In God’s Plan For Your Life.
Memory Verse :John 6:29. Jesus answered, “What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent.”
Bible Reading :John 6:26-28 GNB. Key Verse : v27.
Jesus answered, “I am telling you the truth: you are looking for me because you ate the bread and had all you wanted, not because you understood my miracles. Do not work for food that goes bad; instead, work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food which the Son of Man will give you, because God, the Father, has put his mark of approval on him.” So they asked him, “What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?”
After Jesus fed about five thousand men excluding women and children, his followership increased the more. At this point, they felt that he is just the type of Prophet and King they needed in their midst, who will always make food available to them miraculously. They began to perfect plans among them to crown him their earthly king, not really knowing whom he was. “Seeing this miracle that Jesus had performed, the people there said, “Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!Jesus knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him king by force; so he went off again to the hills by himself. When evening came, Jesus’ disciples went down to the lake, got into a boat, and went back across the lake towards Capernaum. Night came on, and Jesus still had not come to them.” John 6:14-17.
The people had to search out his new location as he went to the other side of the of the lake. Jesus being God knew their underlying motives for searching him out. They had a wrong mindset in their followership. They were only after meeting their physical needs while they cared less about their spiritual needs which counts most before the Lord. The miracles Jesus does in the lives of men is to help draw them to his side, where they could serve his purpose. These men were looking for food that doesn’t stand the test of time, but himself needed to give them that which could stand the test of time. The Jews was savouring the story of the manna their fathers ate in the wilderness and was thinking his was about to be repeated daily.
“For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts for ever.” 2 Corinthians 4:18. There’s need for us to submit ourselves to the Lord for discipleship instead of chasing shadows. Today we need to learn to look beyond our physical needs or material things that doesn’t stand the test of time for things of the Spirit. Jesus mission in our lives is not just to solve our immediate problems only. Most importantly, he desires to build us up a spiritual house or spiritual houses that has what it takes to relate with him till he births himself in us. At this point, we begin to command miracles instead of running after miracles. “Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. If not, believe because of the things I do. I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I do — yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:11-12.
Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for saving my soul and teaching me to be like you. Help me to live by your word in everything I do. Let my life be such that command unending miracles just like you in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : 1 Timothy 4:1-18.
