Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - The Miracle You’ve Been Waiting For Starts Here | November 24, 2025
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
- Joseph prince: the lord does not forget
- 00:00:12.989 --> 00:00:15.191
- What you give to him.
- 00:00:15.191 --> 00:00:18.361
- The bible says, "he that waters shall be watered also himself."
- 00:00:18.361 --> 00:00:22.832
- "the generous soul shall be made fat."
- 00:00:22.832 --> 00:00:25.768
- Another translation says, "shall be prosperous."
- 00:00:25.768 --> 00:00:27.937
- In god's economy, when you give,
- 00:00:27.937 --> 00:00:30.373
- It comes back to you much more, amen?
- 00:00:30.373 --> 00:00:33.743
- Are you blessed?
- 00:00:33.743 --> 00:00:35.178
- When you look at the vastness of the need,
- 00:00:35.178 --> 00:00:37.447
- It can overwhelm you.
- 00:00:37.447 --> 00:00:39.149
- But hey, stop looking at the vastness of the need.
- 00:00:39.149 --> 00:00:41.751
- Stop looking at the littleness of what we have.
- 00:00:41.751 --> 00:00:43.920
- And start looking to him, our inexhaustible supply, amen.
- 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.424
- The king of kings, the lord of lords,
- 00:00:48.424 --> 00:00:49.826
- Our lord jesus.
- 00:00:49.826 --> 00:00:52.529
- Male announcer: when the demands of life come one after another,
- 00:00:52.595 --> 00:00:55.565
- What will raise us up?
- 00:00:55.565 --> 00:00:57.600
- In today's message, joseph shows us
- 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.602
- How to look above the waves, fix our eyes on jesus,
- 00:00:59.602 --> 00:01:02.939
- And find confidence, peace, and strength in the word.
- 00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:06.976
- Wave after wave.
- 00:01:06.976 --> 00:01:09.112
- When troubles start to rush in, never forget,
- 00:01:09.112 --> 00:01:11.848
- We have the one who is above the storm.
- 00:01:11.848 --> 00:01:14.551
- Jesus is in the boat with you,
- 00:01:14.551 --> 00:01:16.753
- And he will send wave upon wave of grace to save you.
- 00:01:16.753 --> 00:01:20.657
- In his book, "grace for today," joseph reminds us to look up
- 00:01:20.657 --> 00:01:23.927
- And look to the lord
- 00:01:23.927 --> 00:01:25.261
- For a fresh revelation of his grace daily.
- 00:01:25.261 --> 00:01:27.764
- Just like fresh manna falling from heaven,
- 00:01:27.764 --> 00:01:30.066
- You can chew on these bite-sized grace thoughts
- 00:01:30.066 --> 00:01:32.402
- And life-giving truths
- 00:01:32.402 --> 00:01:33.937
- To find the supply you need for the day,
- 00:01:33.937 --> 00:01:36.172
- Every single day.

- And now, here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:02:03.166 --> 00:02:05.401
- With today's program.
- 00:02:05.401 --> 00:02:06.736
- Joseph prince: many years ago,
- 00:02:06.736 --> 00:02:08.071
- On one of my first trips to israel,
- 00:02:08.071 --> 00:02:09.806
- I felt the lord speak to me when i was on mount arbel.
- 00:02:09.806 --> 00:02:12.442
- And mount arbel, you all can see
- 00:02:12.442 --> 00:02:15.111
- When you're in the sea of galilee,
- 00:02:15.111 --> 00:02:16.446
- When you're taking a boat ride,
- 00:02:16.446 --> 00:02:17.780
- You can see mount arbel, the highest mountain, right?
- 00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.483
- It has a very sharp edge, right?
- 00:02:20.483 --> 00:02:23.886
- My son saw mount--justin saw mount arbel on a photo
- 00:02:23.886 --> 00:02:28.324
- And he says that it looks
- 00:02:28.324 --> 00:02:29.659
- Like a mouse bit off a cheese from the side.
- 00:02:29.659 --> 00:02:34.797
- It does look like that, all right, it's bitten off.
- 00:02:34.797 --> 00:02:36.766
- So there's the highest mountain there.
- 00:02:36.766 --> 00:02:38.501
- And years ago, i felt the lord speak to me,
- 00:02:38.501 --> 00:02:40.303
- And the lord says that is the place where he did
- 00:02:40.303 --> 00:02:43.806
- The miracle of the loaves and fishes, okay?
- 00:02:43.806 --> 00:02:46.676
- Not exactly right on the top mountain,
- 00:02:46.676 --> 00:02:48.144
- But somewhere below the mount arbel.
- 00:02:48.144 --> 00:02:50.113
- There's a plain down there
- 00:02:50.113 --> 00:02:51.748
- And it's a deserted place or a solitary place.
- 00:02:51.748 --> 00:02:55.218
- That's where it happened.
- 00:02:55.218 --> 00:02:56.653
- In luke's account, luke says
- 00:02:56.653 --> 00:02:59.022
- That this place is a deserted place
- 00:02:59.022 --> 00:03:01.791
- Belonging to the city of-- called bethsaida.
- 00:03:01.791 --> 00:03:04.494
- But bethsaida is on the other side.
- 00:03:04.494 --> 00:03:06.629
- In fact, later on, after the miracle,
- 00:03:06.629 --> 00:03:09.065
- Jesus went up the mountain to pray, mount arbel.
- 00:03:09.065 --> 00:03:11.801
- He sent the disciples down to go to bethsaida, all right?
- 00:03:11.801 --> 00:03:16.172
- To bethsaida.
- 00:03:16.172 --> 00:03:17.507
- And how can they-- bethsaida there,
- 00:03:17.507 --> 00:03:19.242
- And they go across from here.
- 00:03:19.242 --> 00:03:21.210
- So the key is, i've learned to notice details in the bible.
- 00:03:21.210 --> 00:03:27.016
- It says, "belonging to the city called bethsaida."
- 00:03:27.016 --> 00:03:29.786
- So you can have a city down there,
- 00:03:29.786 --> 00:03:31.387
- But this area belongs to you.
- 00:03:31.387 --> 00:03:33.556
- This patch of field, you bought it or whatever,
- 00:03:33.556 --> 00:03:35.925
- It belongs to you.
- 00:03:35.925 --> 00:03:37.260
- So the miracle happened to the place belonging
- 00:03:37.260 --> 00:03:39.629
- To the city called bethsaida.
- 00:03:39.629 --> 00:03:41.898
- All right, keep that in mind, bethsaida.
- 00:03:41.898 --> 00:03:43.833
- And this place belongs to bethsaida.
- 00:03:43.833 --> 00:03:45.201
- You'll come back to this again.
- 00:03:45.201 --> 00:03:46.536
- Okay, let's go back and, "then a great--" yeah, we read that.
- 00:03:46.536 --> 00:03:49.439
- Verse 4: "now the passover, a feast of the jews, was near."
- 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.843
- Now, i'm going to tell you something about this.
- 00:03:53.843 --> 00:03:55.411
- This story has a profound answer in the narration of it,
- 00:03:55.411 --> 00:04:04.220
- In the teaching of it, for all the needs in your life.
- 00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:07.724
- It teaches you how god supplies.
- 00:04:07.724 --> 00:04:10.560
- I don't care whether it's financial need,
- 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.362
- Whether it is a marital need, whether it's a emotional need,
- 00:04:12.362 --> 00:04:15.331
- Whether it's a parenting need,
- 00:04:15.331 --> 00:04:16.666
- Whether it is a physical condition you have.
- 00:04:16.666 --> 00:04:19.869
- God is going to show you how he supplies.
- 00:04:19.869 --> 00:04:23.106
- He's going to teach you by showing you,
- 00:04:23.106 --> 00:04:24.907
- First of all, the ways of the world
- 00:04:24.907 --> 00:04:26.943
- And then his way of doing it.
- 00:04:26.943 --> 00:04:29.479
- Are you ready for that?
- 00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:30.813
- All right, it has a now word for you.
- 00:04:30.813 --> 00:04:32.849
- You know why i say that so strongly about this miracle?
- 00:04:32.849 --> 00:04:36.786
- Because this is the only miracle that's repeated four times
- 00:04:36.786 --> 00:04:41.758
- In all the four gospels.
- 00:04:41.758 --> 00:04:43.393
- All four gospels.
- 00:04:43.393 --> 00:04:44.727
- Not all the miracles are repeated, okay?
- 00:04:44.727 --> 00:04:48.297
- Some share a miracle
- 00:04:48.297 --> 00:04:49.866
- That's not shared by others, amen?
- 00:04:49.866 --> 00:04:52.268
- But this is one miracle that's shared
- 00:04:52.268 --> 00:04:53.903
- By all the synoptic gospels and the gospel of john.
- 00:04:53.903 --> 00:04:56.939
- All four share the same story.
- 00:04:56.939 --> 00:05:00.076
- Now, if god mentions something once,
- 00:05:00.076 --> 00:05:02.512
- It is significant.
- 00:05:02.512 --> 00:05:04.614
- If god mentions something twice, it demands twice our attention.
- 00:05:04.614 --> 00:05:09.452
- If god says something three times,
- 00:05:09.452 --> 00:05:11.521
- The bible says, "a three-fold cord
- 00:05:11.521 --> 00:05:13.122
- Is not quickly broken."
- 00:05:13.122 --> 00:05:14.791
- But if god says it four times,
- 00:05:14.791 --> 00:05:16.893
- It warrants our fullest attention.
- 00:05:16.893 --> 00:05:19.095
- We should study it.
- 00:05:19.095 --> 00:05:20.430
- Every nuance, every little word,
- 00:05:20.430 --> 00:05:23.366
- Everything should be studied, amen.
- 00:05:23.366 --> 00:05:25.735
- Because god is emphasizing it really strong to us, okay?
- 00:05:25.735 --> 00:05:29.005
- Are you ready?
- 00:05:29.005 --> 00:05:30.339
- I'm going to read the whole thing first.
- 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:31.674
- It doesn't take long because it's
- 00:05:31.674 --> 00:05:33.009
- Just a few verses here.
- 00:05:33.009 --> 00:05:34.343
- All right, i'm going to read from verse 4:
- 00:05:34.343 --> 00:05:35.678
- "now the passover, feast of the jews, was near.
- 00:05:35.678 --> 00:05:38.281
- Then jesus lifted up his eyes,
- 00:05:38.281 --> 00:05:40.116
- And seeing a great multitude coming toward him,
- 00:05:40.116 --> 00:05:42.819
- He said to philip,
- 00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:44.587
- 'where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?'
- 00:05:44.587 --> 00:05:47.323
- But this he said to test him,
- 00:05:47.323 --> 00:05:49.692
- For he himself knew what he would do.
- 00:05:49.692 --> 00:05:53.496
- Philip answered him,
- 00:05:53.496 --> 00:05:54.831
- 'two hundred denarii worth of bread
- 00:05:54.831 --> 00:05:56.732
- Is not sufficient for them,
- 00:05:56.732 --> 00:05:58.334
- That every one of them may have a little.'
- 00:05:58.334 --> 00:06:01.671
- One of his disciples, andrew, simon peter's brother,
- 00:06:01.671 --> 00:06:04.674
- Said to him, 'there is a lad here,'"
- 00:06:04.674 --> 00:06:08.110
- There is a youth here, there is a young boy here.
- 00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:11.814
- Actually, the word "lad" here is referring to boys and girls.
- 00:06:11.814 --> 00:06:13.983
- Young boys and girls.
- 00:06:13.983 --> 00:06:15.318
- "'there is a lad here who has five barley loaves
- 00:06:15.318 --> 00:06:17.386
- And two small fish,
- 00:06:17.386 --> 00:06:18.721
- But what are they among so many?'
- 00:06:18.721 --> 00:06:21.457
- Then jesus said, 'make the people sit down.'
- 00:06:21.457 --> 00:06:24.160
- Now there was much grass in the place,"
- 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.562
- Because it was springtime.
- 00:06:26.562 --> 00:06:27.897
- We read just now, passover is near.
- 00:06:27.897 --> 00:06:29.999
- About march, april during that time.
- 00:06:29.999 --> 00:06:32.935
- So there was much grass in that place.
- 00:06:32.935 --> 00:06:35.071
- It's springtime and the passover is near.
- 00:06:35.071 --> 00:06:37.406
- "so the men sat down, in number about five thousand."
- 00:06:37.406 --> 00:06:40.076
- Five thousand men, okay?
- 00:06:40.076 --> 00:06:42.211
- Counting women and children, you have more
- 00:06:42.211 --> 00:06:45.114
- Than probably 15,000 or to 20,000.
- 00:06:45.114 --> 00:06:49.318
- "and jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks
- 00:06:49.318 --> 00:06:52.989
- He distributed them to the disciples,
- 00:06:52.989 --> 00:06:55.191
- And the disciples to those sitting down;
- 00:06:55.191 --> 00:06:57.426
- And likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.
- 00:06:57.426 --> 00:07:01.264
- So when they were filled, he said to his disciples,
- 00:07:01.264 --> 00:07:04.834
- 'gather up the fragments that remain,
- 00:07:04.834 --> 00:07:07.303
- So that nothing is lost.'
- 00:07:07.303 --> 00:07:09.539
- Therefore they gathered them up,
- 00:07:09.539 --> 00:07:11.274
- And filled twelve baskets
- 00:07:11.274 --> 00:07:13.476
- With the fragments of the five barley loaves
- 00:07:13.476 --> 00:07:16.078
- Which were left over by those," i love the word "left over."
- 00:07:16.078 --> 00:07:21.217
- "by those who had eaten."
- 00:07:21.217 --> 00:07:23.486
- John puts out some things, all right?
- 00:07:23.486 --> 00:07:27.123
- He didn't put in some things that others did
- 00:07:27.123 --> 00:07:29.926
- And he put in some things that others did not
- 00:07:29.926 --> 00:07:31.894
- Because each gospel is unique.
- 00:07:31.894 --> 00:07:34.430
- Each gospel, you see, for example,
- 00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:39.001
- John mentions the passover.
- 00:07:39.001 --> 00:07:40.536
- Go back to that again.
- 00:07:40.536 --> 00:07:41.871
- "now, the passover, a feast of the jews, was near."
- 00:07:41.871 --> 00:07:44.040
- When this miracle happened,
- 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:45.374
- It was during the time of the passover.
- 00:07:45.374 --> 00:07:48.678
- All the other writers did not mention the passover,
- 00:07:48.678 --> 00:07:51.213
- The time was passover, why?
- 00:07:51.213 --> 00:07:52.949
- Because in no other gospel do you find the word "lamb."
- 00:07:52.949 --> 00:07:59.355
- All right, "then jesus lifted up his eyes,
- 00:07:59.355 --> 00:08:00.856
- And seeing a great multitude coming towards him,
- 00:08:00.856 --> 00:08:03.559
- He said to philip, 'where shall we buy bread,
- 00:08:03.559 --> 00:08:06.295
- That these may eat?'"
- 00:08:06.295 --> 00:08:07.630
- Do you think jesus think the answer is in buying?
- 00:08:07.630 --> 00:08:10.733
- No, because the next line says,
- 00:08:10.733 --> 00:08:12.101
- "this he said to test philip, for," i love this,
- 00:08:12.101 --> 00:08:15.738
- "for he himself knew what he would do."
- 00:08:15.738 --> 00:08:21.344
- Sometimes the lord comes to you and asks you a question.
- 00:08:21.344 --> 00:08:23.980
- Just know this, "he himself knew what he would do."
- 00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:29.752
- It's just a test, amen?
- 00:08:29.752 --> 00:08:31.954
- There are times he tells me, "are you willing to do that?"
- 00:08:31.954 --> 00:08:34.090
- I say, "lord, it will cost me my time--"
- 00:08:34.090 --> 00:08:37.126
- But the lord said, "will you do that?"
- 00:08:37.126 --> 00:08:38.494
- I said, "yes."
- 00:08:38.494 --> 00:08:39.829
- So why test philip?
- 00:08:39.829 --> 00:08:41.163
- Of all the 12 disciples, why did he test philip?
- 00:08:41.163 --> 00:08:43.199
- Because this happened near
- 00:08:43.199 --> 00:08:44.567
- To a city belonging to bethsaida.
- 00:08:44.567 --> 00:08:46.302
- Nothing is hidden.
- 00:08:46.302 --> 00:08:49.505
- And philip is from bethsaida.
- 00:08:49.505 --> 00:08:51.507
- So the test will always happen at home.
- 00:08:51.507 --> 00:08:54.777
- Home ground first.
- 00:08:54.777 --> 00:08:56.646
- Your test will happen at home first.
- 00:08:56.646 --> 00:08:59.482
- And i know, whatever i preach, it will happen at home first!
- 00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:02.251
- My goodness.
- 00:09:02.251 --> 00:09:04.353
- I'll say it more impressive, man.
- 00:09:04.353 --> 00:09:07.323
- At home, your wife will tell you, "okay, darling,
- 00:09:07.323 --> 00:09:11.293
- How about moving to the pulpit?" why?
- 00:09:11.293 --> 00:09:13.295
- "because in the pulpit, you are--it's such a flow."
- 00:09:13.295 --> 00:09:18.100
- No, she never said that to me.
- 00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:20.503
- But it's true, it will always happen at home.
- 00:09:20.503 --> 00:09:24.073
- So philip is a homeboy. he's from bethsaida.
- 00:09:24.073 --> 00:09:26.275
- So he ask, "philip, since you know this place very well,
- 00:09:26.275 --> 00:09:28.611
- From where shall we buy bread, that all these may eat?"
- 00:09:28.611 --> 00:09:31.747
- Another thing you need to know about the gospel of john
- 00:09:31.747 --> 00:09:33.616
- That doesn't happen in the other writers is this.
- 00:09:33.616 --> 00:09:36.252
- When they share this account, only john mentioned names,
- 00:09:36.252 --> 00:09:40.723
- Philip, andrew, and only john mentioned the lad.
- 00:09:40.723 --> 00:09:44.660
- Do you know the other accounts of this miracle
- 00:09:44.660 --> 00:09:46.328
- Did not mention the boy
- 00:09:46.328 --> 00:09:47.663
- Who brought five loaves and two fish?
- 00:09:47.663 --> 00:09:49.031
- They just say, "we have five loaves and two fish,"
- 00:09:49.031 --> 00:09:51.801
- All of them, as if they got it themself.
- 00:09:51.801 --> 00:09:53.436
- "we have five loaves and two fish."
- 00:09:53.436 --> 00:09:55.337
- But john is the only-- john is a personal gospel.
- 00:09:55.337 --> 00:09:58.841
- John mentions nicodemus
- 00:09:58.841 --> 00:10:00.409
- That the other gospels don't mention.
- 00:10:00.409 --> 00:10:02.378
- It's very personal.
- 00:10:02.378 --> 00:10:03.713
- Nicodemus came to jesus by night, amen.
- 00:10:03.713 --> 00:10:05.915
- And then the next chapter,
- 00:10:05.915 --> 00:10:07.249
- Jesus met with a woman at the well.
- 00:10:07.249 --> 00:10:08.951
- It's a very personal gospel.
- 00:10:08.951 --> 00:10:11.120
- And here, you have andrew, you have philip.
- 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.989
- So he spoke to philip first, testing philip.
- 00:10:13.989 --> 00:10:16.325
- "for he himself knew what he would do."
- 00:10:16.325 --> 00:10:20.429
- Remember this, whenever the lord asks you a question,
- 00:10:20.429 --> 00:10:22.565
- It's not because, by the way, just to let you know,
- 00:10:22.565 --> 00:10:24.266
- This is the first place, the very first place,
- 00:10:24.266 --> 00:10:26.001
- And the only place in the bible,
- 00:10:26.001 --> 00:10:27.470
- The lord asked anyone for advice.
- 00:10:27.470 --> 00:10:31.674
- But yet, "he himself knew what he would do."
- 00:10:31.674 --> 00:10:35.311
- Okay, drop down.
- 00:10:35.311 --> 00:10:37.346
- "philip answered him,
- 00:10:37.346 --> 00:10:39.014
- 'two hundred denarii worth of bread
- 00:10:39.014 --> 00:10:40.950
- Is not sufficient for them,
- 00:10:40.950 --> 00:10:42.284
- That every one of them may have a little.'"
- 00:10:42.284 --> 00:10:43.953
- Now, 200 denarii.
- 00:10:43.953 --> 00:10:45.821
- A dinar today-- is back to dinar.
- 00:10:45.821 --> 00:10:47.523
- Isn't it interesting?
- 00:10:47.523 --> 00:10:48.858
- In the book of revelation, it talks about a bushel of wheat
- 00:10:48.858 --> 00:10:51.227
- Will sell for this amount of denarius.
- 00:10:51.227 --> 00:10:53.629
- Now you go to the middle east, it's back to dinar, amen.
- 00:10:53.629 --> 00:10:58.534
- Shekels and dinar.
- 00:10:58.534 --> 00:11:00.436
- One dinar is one day's wage.
- 00:11:00.436 --> 00:11:03.572
- So 200 denarii is about two-thirds annual wage
- 00:11:03.572 --> 00:11:08.778
- Of an average man, laboring man.
- 00:11:08.778 --> 00:11:11.347
- It's more than 50%.
- 00:11:11.347 --> 00:11:13.182
- Two hundred days of work.
- 00:11:13.182 --> 00:11:14.850
- So philip answered in the natural,
- 00:11:14.850 --> 00:11:17.219
- "two hundred denarii," a lot of money,
- 00:11:17.219 --> 00:11:20.289
- More than half a year's wage,
- 00:11:20.289 --> 00:11:22.691
- "is not sufficient to buy bread for them,
- 00:11:22.691 --> 00:11:25.928
- That every one of them may have a little."
- 00:11:25.928 --> 00:11:29.265
- A little.
- 00:11:29.265 --> 00:11:32.301
- How can we speak these words, "a little,"
- 00:11:32.301 --> 00:11:35.504
- In the presence of the great i am?
- 00:11:35.504 --> 00:11:39.175
- We say a little based on what we see,
- 00:11:39.175 --> 00:11:43.712
- Not based on who we are talking to.
- 00:11:43.712 --> 00:11:47.116
- So philip's problem is the vastness of the need.
- 00:11:47.116 --> 00:11:50.719
- There--you know, he looked at it and said,
- 00:11:50.719 --> 00:11:53.155
- "it's not sufficient for them,
- 00:11:53.155 --> 00:11:55.024
- That everyone may take a little."
- 00:11:55.024 --> 00:11:57.626
- How can you say "a little" in the presence
- 00:11:57.626 --> 00:11:59.428
- Of the one who flung the stars in place, amen?
- 00:11:59.428 --> 00:12:03.232
- The one who spoke into nothing and something came into being.
- 00:12:03.232 --> 00:12:07.469
- How can we say
- 00:12:07.469 --> 00:12:08.804
- In the presence of the christ of god,
- 00:12:08.804 --> 00:12:10.406
- "everyone may take a little"?
- 00:12:10.406 --> 00:12:14.710
- He said this to test philip.
- 00:12:14.710 --> 00:12:17.413
- God has ways we do not know of.
- 00:12:17.413 --> 00:12:21.817
- We look at the vastness of the need
- 00:12:21.817 --> 00:12:24.787
- And internally, we give up.
- 00:12:24.787 --> 00:12:28.123
- We are looking at the vastness of the need.
- 00:12:28.123 --> 00:12:29.859
- Are you looking at the vastness of the need
- 00:12:29.859 --> 00:12:31.794
- Of your body for healing?
- 00:12:31.794 --> 00:12:33.863
- "well, i know this case,
- 00:12:33.863 --> 00:12:35.197
- This person had the same condition.
- 00:12:35.197 --> 00:12:36.532
- That guy, you know, i don't want to say what happened to him.
- 00:12:36.532 --> 00:12:38.767
- And i'm very worried because--"
- 00:12:38.767 --> 00:12:40.102
- You're looking at the vastness of the need,
- 00:12:40.102 --> 00:12:42.304
- The bigness of the problem.
- 00:12:42.304 --> 00:12:44.440
- You're not looking at jesus, okay?
- 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.842
- That's philip's problem.
- 00:12:46.842 --> 00:12:48.577
- Are you listening?
- 00:12:48.577 --> 00:12:49.912
- How can god reach this young generation?
- 00:12:49.912 --> 00:12:52.214
- How can god reach this pc generation?
- 00:12:52.214 --> 00:12:56.352
- This generation that doesn't know
- 00:12:56.352 --> 00:12:58.721
- What is right, what is wrong anymore?
- 00:12:58.721 --> 00:13:00.823
- This generation that want to have their own say
- 00:13:00.823 --> 00:13:04.059
- And not knowing that some rules don't change.
- 00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:07.129
- For as a rule, the law of gravity,
- 00:13:07.129 --> 00:13:08.731
- You can say, "phooey to the law of gravity, forget it!
- 00:13:08.731 --> 00:13:10.933
- I don't believe the law of gravity."
- 00:13:10.933 --> 00:13:12.268
- You don't believe in the law of gravity?
- 00:13:12.268 --> 00:13:13.969
- It doesn't change the law of gravity.
- 00:13:13.969 --> 00:13:16.272
- "he that have ears to hear, let him hear."
- 00:13:16.272 --> 00:13:17.606
- So we are saying the god that we serve,
- 00:13:17.606 --> 00:13:21.644
- The god that loves us, doesn't care
- 00:13:21.644 --> 00:13:23.712
- About how big the problem is.
- 00:13:23.712 --> 00:13:26.348
- He wanted philip to see.
- 00:13:26.348 --> 00:13:28.017
- "philip, where should we buy bread?"
- 00:13:28.017 --> 00:13:29.585
- It was a test question.
- 00:13:29.585 --> 00:13:31.387
- Philip responded, right?
- 00:13:31.387 --> 00:13:33.822
- "each one can only take a little."
- 00:13:33.822 --> 00:13:35.491
- Saying "a little" in the presence of jesus!
- 00:13:35.491 --> 00:13:39.695
- With god, a little becomes much.
- 00:13:39.695 --> 00:13:45.234
- God met moses at the burning bush.
- 00:13:45.234 --> 00:13:48.904
- He had nothing.
- 00:13:48.904 --> 00:13:50.239
- He left his princely life, his office,
- 00:13:50.239 --> 00:13:52.975
- With all the royal regalia and all the benefits
- 00:13:52.975 --> 00:13:55.377
- And the trappings of egypt as royalty.
- 00:13:55.377 --> 00:13:58.247
- He left it all and became a shepherd
- 00:13:58.247 --> 00:14:00.015
- At the backside of the desert.
- 00:14:00.015 --> 00:14:02.017
- And when god appeared in the burning bush,
- 00:14:02.017 --> 00:14:03.986
- He knelt down before god, stammering.
- 00:14:03.986 --> 00:14:05.955
- And then god asked him this: "what is that in your hand?"
- 00:14:05.955 --> 00:14:12.061
- God never asks you for what you don't have.
- 00:14:12.061 --> 00:14:14.730
- God asks you for what you have.
- 00:14:14.730 --> 00:14:16.699
- "what is that in your hand?"
- 00:14:16.699 --> 00:14:18.500
- He says, "a rod, a shepherd's rod,
- 00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.002
- A simple shepherd's rod."
- 00:14:20.002 --> 00:14:21.770
- Well, that will do.
- 00:14:21.770 --> 00:14:23.872
- And with the shepherd's rod, when he raised it,
- 00:14:23.872 --> 00:14:28.143
- The red sea was opened.
- 00:14:28.143 --> 00:14:29.979
- When he touched the river nile, it became blood.
- 00:14:29.979 --> 00:14:34.049
- With the rod, when they were thirsty,
- 00:14:34.049 --> 00:14:36.185
- He hit the rock, and out of the flinty rock
- 00:14:36.185 --> 00:14:38.620
- Came rivers of living water for the people.
- 00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:43.359
- With that rod, when he picked it up,
- 00:14:43.359 --> 00:14:45.561
- It's no more the rod of moses.
- 00:14:45.561 --> 00:14:46.962
- It was the rod of god.
- 00:14:46.962 --> 00:14:48.831
- And thus is called from that time onwards,
- 00:14:48.831 --> 00:14:50.966
- The rod of god.
- 00:14:50.966 --> 00:14:53.235
- Are you listening? what do you have?
- 00:14:53.235 --> 00:14:54.570
- "i don't have much, pastor prince."
- 00:14:54.570 --> 00:14:55.904
- Just like the widow, when elijah came to her house,
- 00:14:55.904 --> 00:14:58.874
- She was actually being pursued by the creditors
- 00:14:58.874 --> 00:15:01.710
- At that point in time because her husband died,
- 00:15:01.710 --> 00:15:03.479
- Left behind a debt and she has two young boys
- 00:15:03.479 --> 00:15:06.882
- And the creditor is coming to collect, and she can't pay,
- 00:15:06.882 --> 00:15:09.551
- She cannot pay.
- 00:15:09.551 --> 00:15:11.020
- The creditor is coming to take her boys as slaves.
- 00:15:11.020 --> 00:15:14.189
- So she cried out to elijah the prophet
- 00:15:14.189 --> 00:15:15.958
- And says, "please help."
- 00:15:15.958 --> 00:15:17.793
- And elijah says, "what do you have in your house?
- 00:15:17.793 --> 00:15:22.131
- What do you have?"
- 00:15:22.131 --> 00:15:23.465
- Many of us, we look at it, you know, "i don't think
- 00:15:23.465 --> 00:15:25.067
- God wants this, so little, and i don't think god wants this."
- 00:15:25.067 --> 00:15:27.036
- We look at the boy with the five loaves and two fish.
- 00:15:27.036 --> 00:15:29.905
- What is this? what is this?
- 00:15:29.905 --> 00:15:33.142
- Look at the vastness of the need.
- 00:15:33.142 --> 00:15:35.044
- We despise what little we have.
- 00:15:35.044 --> 00:15:38.213
- We don't think god can do much with us.
- 00:15:38.213 --> 00:15:40.582
- Years and years ago, i was—
- 00:15:40.582 --> 00:15:44.253
- I shouldn't say years and years ago.
- 00:15:44.253 --> 00:15:46.522
- A few years ago, when i was in secondary school,
- 00:15:46.522 --> 00:15:49.958
- When i was in high school, i was a stammerer, a stutterer.
- 00:15:49.958 --> 00:15:55.064
- Not in elementary,
- 00:15:55.064 --> 00:16:01.103
- Is that what you call it, all right?
- 00:16:01.103 --> 00:16:03.439
- But in high school, i was a stammerer.
- 00:16:03.439 --> 00:16:06.809
- But i told the lord, "lord," you all heard my story, right?
- 00:16:06.809 --> 00:16:10.546
- How people would laugh and all my friends would laugh.
- 00:16:10.546 --> 00:16:13.348
- The girls especially would laugh.
- 00:16:13.348 --> 00:16:14.683
- Girls can be cruel, you know.
- 00:16:14.683 --> 00:16:18.520
- And you are at a sensitive age, you know,
- 00:16:18.520 --> 00:16:20.589
- You want to impress them and all that.
- 00:16:20.589 --> 00:16:22.124
- So i was so embarrassed.
- 00:16:22.124 --> 00:16:23.459
- I withdrew from my social contacts and all that.
- 00:16:23.459 --> 00:16:27.296
- I became quite reticent.
- 00:16:27.296 --> 00:16:28.630
- But then one day when i got to know the lord,
- 00:16:28.630 --> 00:16:31.700
- The lord said to me, "what do you have?"
- 00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:33.435
- I felt for the lord. i pitied the lord for having me.
- 00:16:33.435 --> 00:16:38.006
- He said, "what do you have?"
- 00:16:38.006 --> 00:16:39.341
- "my mouth.
- 00:16:39.341 --> 00:16:40.676
- Lord, just don't put me in public.
- 00:16:40.676 --> 00:16:42.010
- Don't--i will try to write songs for you or something like that."
- 00:16:42.010 --> 00:16:44.680
- And god says, "no, give me your mouth."
- 00:16:44.680 --> 00:16:50.819
- That's why, if you're wondering why my mouth is extra big,
- 00:16:50.819 --> 00:16:53.755
- That's the purpose.
- 00:16:53.755 --> 00:16:55.090
- Whatever you give, multiplies, you know that?
- 00:16:55.090 --> 00:16:57.025
- You know that?
- 00:16:57.025 --> 00:16:59.595
- Okay, so, "one of his disciples, andrew, simon--"
- 00:16:59.595 --> 00:17:03.565
- By the way, elijah
- 00:17:03.565 --> 00:17:06.835
- Asked her, "what do you have in the house?"
- 00:17:06.835 --> 00:17:08.170
- You know what she says?
- 00:17:08.170 --> 00:17:09.505
- "a little pot of oil. a little."
- 00:17:09.505 --> 00:17:11.807
- She said, "a little."
- 00:17:11.807 --> 00:17:13.142
- We always think, like the shunammite woman,
- 00:17:13.142 --> 00:17:15.210
- A small piece of cake.
- 00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:17.579
- You know, the way we talk, it shows with god,
- 00:17:17.579 --> 00:17:20.749
- The jar of oil, the jar of oil will not fail, amen.
- 00:17:20.749 --> 00:17:24.953
- The barrel of meal will not cease.
- 00:17:24.953 --> 00:17:27.256
- God deals with barrel and all that.
- 00:17:27.256 --> 00:17:28.590
- You know, ♪ fill my cup, lord ♪
- 00:17:28.590 --> 00:17:30.659
- ♪ i lift it up, lord ♪
- 00:17:30.659 --> 00:17:32.628
- It's a real hymn by the way.
- 00:17:32.628 --> 00:17:34.229
- ♪ come and quench this thirsting of my soul ♪
- 00:17:34.229 --> 00:17:37.065
- Then another guy from new creation church
- 00:17:37.065 --> 00:17:38.834
- Comes and he: ♪ fill my barrel, lord ♪
- 00:17:38.834 --> 00:17:42.171
- ♪ i fill it up, lord ♪ huh?
- 00:17:42.171 --> 00:17:44.773
- Big barrel. why ask god for a cup?
- 00:17:44.773 --> 00:17:47.009
- It's almost like, you know, we write songs like that.
- 00:17:47.009 --> 00:17:50.179
- Anyway, god never asks for what you don't have.
- 00:17:50.179 --> 00:17:55.184
- If you have, you know, a talent, a gift in something,
- 00:17:55.184 --> 00:17:58.720
- Give it to the lord, amen?
- 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.656
- So, "one of his disciples, andrew, simon peter's brother,
- 00:18:02.224 --> 00:18:05.961
- Said to him," said to jesus,
- 00:18:05.961 --> 00:18:07.529
- "'there is a lad here who has five barley loaves
- 00:18:07.529 --> 00:18:09.898
- And two small fish,'" two small fish.
- 00:18:09.898 --> 00:18:12.201
- Don't forget, there are two small fish.
- 00:18:12.201 --> 00:18:14.436
- There is, in this one verse, there are two diminutive terms.
- 00:18:14.436 --> 00:18:18.073
- One is the "lad."
- 00:18:18.073 --> 00:18:19.575
- The other one is "small."
- 00:18:19.575 --> 00:18:21.610
- Small boy, small fish, five loaves, okay?
- 00:18:21.610 --> 00:18:26.381
- "'there is a lad here who has five barley loaves
- 00:18:26.381 --> 00:18:28.250
- And two small fish,
- 00:18:28.250 --> 00:18:29.585
- But what are they among so many?'"
- 00:18:29.585 --> 00:18:32.120
- Now, what are they among so many?
- 00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:34.923
- So, philip's problem is the vastness of the need.
- 00:18:34.923 --> 00:18:39.595
- Andrew's problem is the littleness of the supply.
- 00:18:39.595 --> 00:18:43.198
- He look at the supply, he says, "what are they?
- 00:18:43.198 --> 00:18:46.168
- It's just five bread, pita bread, five loaves,
- 00:18:46.168 --> 00:18:50.706
- And two small fish."
- 00:18:50.706 --> 00:18:52.774
- He look at it and he says, "what are they among so many?"
- 00:18:52.774 --> 00:18:56.211
- So philip look at the people, right?
- 00:18:56.211 --> 00:19:02.017
- Andrew looked at what they--he had,
- 00:19:02.017 --> 00:19:04.586
- What they had, but then he says, "what are they among so many?"
- 00:19:04.586 --> 00:19:09.391
- So philip's problem is the vastness of the need.
- 00:19:09.391 --> 00:19:12.261
- Andrew's problem is the littleness of the supply.
- 00:19:12.261 --> 00:19:15.530
- Neither of them is looking at jesus.
- 00:19:15.530 --> 00:19:18.533
- "in our company nowadays, i don't know what is happening
- 00:19:18.533 --> 00:19:20.269
- But we are going down a little bit so we've got to
- 00:19:20.269 --> 00:19:22.537
- Make sure that this coming year and all that--"
- 00:19:22.537 --> 00:19:24.439
- Hey, bring jesus into the situation.
- 00:19:24.439 --> 00:19:28.410
- Whenever you serve the lord, whether it's strength,
- 00:19:28.410 --> 00:19:30.279
- Giving money, whatever it is, god always return back.
- 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.782
- Even the fisherman's boat, the whole night, the same lake,
- 00:19:33.782 --> 00:19:39.087
- The same place, found nothing, caught nothing.
- 00:19:39.087 --> 00:19:42.024
- They were washing their net to pass the time,
- 00:19:42.024 --> 00:19:44.359
- To maximize the time, whatever.
- 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:45.694
- Jesus stepped into the boat.
- 00:19:45.694 --> 00:19:47.029
- They allowed jesus to have the boat.
- 00:19:47.029 --> 00:19:48.363
- And after that, jesus gave them
- 00:19:48.363 --> 00:19:50.065
- A net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish
- 00:19:50.065 --> 00:19:52.000
- In the same lake.
- 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.335
- When you give to jesus, things become different.
- 00:19:53.335 --> 00:19:55.304
- Give your mind, give yourself, give your body.
- 00:19:55.304 --> 00:19:57.739
- Once you realize that, you'll give him everything.
- 00:19:57.739 --> 00:20:01.043
- And whatever he asks of you to do,
- 00:20:01.043 --> 00:20:02.711
- Even money to sow, to give, your tithes,
- 00:20:02.711 --> 00:20:05.414
- Your offerings, it's never subtraction.
- 00:20:05.414 --> 00:20:07.883
- It's multiplication by subtraction.
- 00:20:07.883 --> 00:20:10.819
- It is increase by division.
- 00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:12.754
- Can i have a good amen, church? hallelujah.
- 00:20:12.754 --> 00:20:14.656
- Oh man, i've preached myself happy, hallelujah.
- 00:20:14.656 --> 00:20:16.758
- Let's bring this to the end. "as much as they wanted."
- 00:20:16.758 --> 00:20:18.894
- Don't forget that. "as much as they wanted."
- 00:20:18.894 --> 00:20:21.430
- I look at all of you and we all have
- 00:20:21.430 --> 00:20:22.764
- Different, different levels of satiation.
- 00:20:22.764 --> 00:20:26.702
- There are different levels of satiation.
- 00:20:26.702 --> 00:20:28.770
- Some people are satisfied with this.
- 00:20:28.770 --> 00:20:30.105
- It's what do you want?
- 00:20:30.105 --> 00:20:31.506
- The problem is not so much of the lord.
- 00:20:31.506 --> 00:20:34.609
- It is you, amen.
- 00:20:34.609 --> 00:20:36.611
- How much can you take? how much can you take?
- 00:20:36.611 --> 00:20:39.348
- How much can you take?
- 00:20:39.348 --> 00:20:41.817
- It's the story of joseph, our heavenly joseph,
- 00:20:41.817 --> 00:20:44.186
- When he saw his brothers.
- 00:20:44.186 --> 00:20:45.520
- This is what he said to the servant.
- 00:20:45.520 --> 00:20:47.422
- A named servant is the holy spirit,
- 00:20:47.422 --> 00:20:48.924
- A picture of the holy spirit, this is what he said.
- 00:20:48.924 --> 00:20:50.759
- "and he commanded the steward of his house,"
- 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:52.494
- A picture of the holy spirit,
- 00:20:52.494 --> 00:20:53.829
- "saying, 'fill the man's sacks,'"
- 00:20:53.829 --> 00:20:55.430
- His brothers' sacks, "'with food,
- 00:20:55.430 --> 00:20:57.332
- As much as they can carry.'"
- 00:20:57.332 --> 00:20:58.834
- As much as they can carry.
- 00:20:58.834 --> 00:21:04.306
- How much can you carry?
- 00:21:04.306 --> 00:21:06.708
- I want to tell you one thing.
- 00:21:06.708 --> 00:21:08.043
- The lord does not forget what you give to him.
- 00:21:08.043 --> 00:21:13.281
- The bible says, "he that waters shall be watered also himself."
- 00:21:13.281 --> 00:21:17.786
- "the generous soul shall be made fat."
- 00:21:17.786 --> 00:21:20.622
- Another translation says, "shall be prosperous."
- 00:21:20.622 --> 00:21:23.024
- In god's economy, when you give,
- 00:21:23.024 --> 00:21:25.427
- It comes back to you much more, amen?
- 00:21:25.427 --> 00:21:28.630
- Are you blessed?
- 00:21:28.630 --> 00:21:30.232
- You learned some things here?
- 00:21:30.232 --> 00:21:32.401
- Are you looking at the vastness of the need?
- 00:21:32.401 --> 00:21:34.536
- Whether it's your body, your family,
- 00:21:34.536 --> 00:21:36.905
- Your marital situation,
- 00:21:36.905 --> 00:21:39.641
- Whether it is your-- even your emotional state,
- 00:21:39.641 --> 00:21:43.078
- Or you're addicted to some prescription drugs.
- 00:21:43.078 --> 00:21:46.181
- No one knows about this, but you know you are addicted.
- 00:21:46.181 --> 00:21:48.617
- And one way out, whether it's alcohol,
- 00:21:48.617 --> 00:21:50.419
- Whatever it is, is to acknowledge
- 00:21:50.419 --> 00:21:52.821
- The need is beyond you.
- 00:21:52.821 --> 00:21:54.556
- When you look at the vastness of the need,
- 00:21:54.556 --> 00:21:56.691
- It can overwhelm you.
- 00:21:56.691 --> 00:21:58.460
- As leaders and pastors, we are so easily overwhelmed
- 00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:01.463
- By the vastness of the need.
- 00:22:01.463 --> 00:22:02.798
- But hey, stop looking at the vastness of the need.
- 00:22:02.798 --> 00:22:05.400
- Stop looking at the littleness of what we have
- 00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.436
- And start looking to him, our inexhaustible supply,
- 00:22:07.436 --> 00:22:11.840
- Amen, the king of kings, the lord of lords,
- 00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:13.408
- Our lord jesus.
- 00:22:13.408 --> 00:22:14.843
- And don't forget, the reason all these things can flow,
- 00:22:14.843 --> 00:22:17.312
- John tells us, is because the passover is near.
- 00:22:17.312 --> 00:22:20.882
- The righteous outlet for a holy god,
- 00:22:20.882 --> 00:22:23.952
- A thrice-holy god, to bless us with more than enough
- 00:22:23.952 --> 00:22:27.122
- Is because his son will pay for all our sins.
- 00:22:27.122 --> 00:22:29.591
- So today, if anyone tells you your sin
- 00:22:29.591 --> 00:22:31.860
- Is holding the blessing back, all right, you know
- 00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:34.396
- It's a doctrine that's not from god.
- 00:22:34.396 --> 00:22:36.731
- It's not from god.
- 00:22:36.731 --> 00:22:38.066
- Because he has just put jesus and the cross
- 00:22:38.066 --> 00:22:40.202
- Out of the picture, amen.
- 00:22:40.202 --> 00:22:42.003
- Now, it's one thing to say that to an unbeliever.
- 00:22:42.003 --> 00:22:44.105
- It's nothing to say that to a child of god.
- 00:22:44.105 --> 00:22:46.541
- Your sins are forgiven because someone died.
- 00:22:46.541 --> 00:22:49.277
- We feast on the roasted lamb.
- 00:22:49.277 --> 00:22:51.112
- Roasted means he was
- 00:22:51.112 --> 00:22:52.447
- Under the fires of god's judgment
- 00:22:52.447 --> 00:22:53.782
- And we feast on him.
- 00:22:53.782 --> 00:22:55.116
- That's food for us. i say that's food for us.
- 00:22:55.116 --> 00:22:57.552
- And not only food for us, it's also supply.
- 00:22:57.552 --> 00:23:00.522
- The supply is based on the passover was near.
- 00:23:00.522 --> 00:23:04.059
- It's like the holy spirit remind them that god will supply
- 00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:07.395
- All their needs, amen, church?
- 00:23:07.395 --> 00:23:09.731
- Have you been blessed?
- 00:23:09.731 --> 00:23:11.566

- From harm, from disease, from tragedy.

- The lord protect you from all evil.
- 00:23:56.912 --> 00:23:59.681
- The lord make his face shine on you,
- 00:23:59.681 --> 00:24:01.616
- Be gracious to you.
- 00:24:01.616 --> 00:24:03.451
- And the lord lift up his countenance on you
- 00:24:03.451 --> 00:24:06.087
- And grant to you and your loved ones
- 00:24:06.087 --> 00:24:08.924
- His shalom, health, well-being, and peace
- 00:24:08.924 --> 00:24:13.995
- In the name of the lord jesus christ.
