HOW TO OVERCOME THE FEAR OF LACK

Matt 15:34 NKJV ”Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."

             God wants needs and those of your family met . His blessing is upon us to multiply our resources . God's blessing makes a man rich and it adds no sorrow (Prov 10:22).  As part of our salvation experience we are given grace for the multiplication of our resources: this is a supernatural endowment that increases whatever we place in God’s hands for our use and for the expansion of missionary work on earth.

              In Matt 15:32-37 the disciples where faced with the challenge of feeding four thousand persons and were overwhelmed when they looked at little provision they had : seven loaves of bread and a few little fish however, when these were placed in the lords hands in thanksgiving, the power for multiplication came upon those loaves and fishes and over four thousand persons where fed. The scriptures say in Matt 15:37 NKJV “So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.” In John 6:1-12 we see the same miracle of multiplication of resources where over five thousand men where fed from five loaves and two small fish and there were leftovers, the scriptures says in John 6:13-14 NKJV “Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten”. These two scripture reveal a very important principle in the working of the blessing for multiplication. God multiplies whatever is given to Him in faith and love. The fragments were not to be thrown away as even the smallest thing has the capacity to multiply when blessed. God does not condone wastage. We shouldn’t underestimate the blessing of multiplication; it adds value to whatever is committed to it.  

             In the Old Testament a widow’s food reserve was multiplied through Elijah when she offered to share some with the itinerant missionary (1 kings 17:8-15). A lot of people have missed out on their miracles by not acting in faith when God told them to. The reward for taking this act of faith manifests in marriages, healing, babies, security, businesses and jobs and ministry opportunities. The work of ministry requires a lot of resources to reach out to over 6 billion persons around the world; the lord is keen to multiply our resources for this very important purpose. If we can overcome the initial fear that Satan puts in our hearts as long as we are sure that its God’s instructions, we are sure to receive a reward for our act of benevolence done in love and not by coercion. God who miraculously fed 3 million Jews in the desert (Exodus 16), caused water to gush out of a rock to quench their thirst (Exodus17) , supernaturally destroyed inflation in Samaria  within 24hrs by a prophet’s pronouncement (2kings 7) can multiply your resources .

           It is better to depend on the blessing of multiplication than on the world’s failing economic system. In 1kings 17:13 Elijah said to the widow ‘do not fear’. Fear is Satan’s weapon to keep God’s people in lack .God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind to trust in His word which says in 2 Cor 9:8 AMP “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].As you read this now , your days of lack comes to an end in Jesus name.
