\u2018<\/i><\/b>How much bread do you have?\u201d he asked. \u201cGo and find out<\/b>.\u201d They came back and reported, \u201cWe have five loaves of bread and two fish\u2019 Mark 6:38<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

After focusing on God and not the problem, the next thing we need to do to prepare for a miracle is to assess what I already have to work with<\/i>. Jesus puts it this way \u2018Go and find out\u2019<\/i>. For a lot of us Jesus is saying bring the donkey, I need the donkey. And we are asking what donkey, where is the donkey? The disciples probably had the same question on their minds. But before they could ask, Jesus said \u2018go and find out\u2019<\/i>. What is before you? The next thing you need to do is find out what we have. Don\u2019t be quick to say nothing, go and find out. Please Read 2kings 4:1-7<\/a>. \u2018What can I do to help you? Elisha asked. Tell me, what do you have in the house? Nothing at all, except a flask of olive oil, she replied\u2019. <\/i>Anyone that wants a miracle must always start from where God will start. Elisha\u2019s first response was to the widow was \u2018what do you have?\u2019 What can I work with? The widow response was \u2018nothing\u2019. So Elisha kept quiet, after all when she is ready she will come up with something. Finally she said, \u00a0\u2018except for a jar of olive oil, just a small jar\u2019. As far as she was concerned what she had was insignificant compared to the need. It was a debt so huge she would have to sell her two sons. What could a jar of olive oil possible amount to \u2013 nothing. Yet Elisha saw the little she had as something. God would always ask \u2018what do you have\u2019; hence its time to ask yourself the same question.<\/p>\n

Moses stood before God in Exodus 3 and God said to Moses \u2018what is that in your hand?<\/i>\u2019 To Moses it was just a rod but to God it was already an extraordinary rod. And from that day forward, the rod was called the rod of God in the hand of Moses. A significant difference. What do you have in your hand? God will start with what you have. The boy had his lunch. How can Jesus even want to collect a boy\u2019s lunch, is that fair? It may appear unfair that Jesus would ask the boy for his lunch because there was a great need for the people. But is it fair for the boy to go out of his house with a lunch box and come back with 12 baskets full? Go and find out what you have!<\/p>\n

Prayer<\/b>: Father, help me discern what You require from me at every point for my miracle to burst forth, in Jesus Name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
