THE DIVINE BAKERY – Monday January 2nd 2017
Memorise:
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me
shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John
6:35
5 When
Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him,
he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And
Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And
Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to
the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and
likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore
they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the
fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto
them that had eaten.

One of the titles of the Lord is “The Bread of life”.

Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me
shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
John 6:35 Open Heaven Monday 2 January 2017:- The Divine Bakery
Do
you know that no name or title of the Lord Jesus Christ is there just
for fun? Each of His names is revealed to accomplish a definite
assignment in the life of the one to whom it is declared. May the Lord’s
names and titles become real in your life this season in Jesus’ Name!
In John 11:25,
the Lord introduced Himself as the Resurrection and the Life. Less than
an hour later, just to demonstrate the reality of that name, someone
who had died and had been buried for four days came out of the grave
alive. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I command every good thing that is
dead in your life to experience a touch from the Resurrection and the
Life now! Similarly, He announced Himself ad the Bread of Life. In our
Bible text, a young boy handed over his lunch to Him, comprising five
loaves of bread and two tiny fishes, and when that day ended, everyone
present could testify to the reality of that title: The Bread of Life!
Whatever
you hand over to the Lord Christ is multiplied by Him. When the young
boy gave Him his loaves of bread and fishes, He began to break the
bread. As people watched Him, they could not believe what they were
seeing. The more they focused on Jesus as He broke the bread. The more
they marvelled. He was breaking off thousands of pieces of bread from
one loaf of bread, and yet that loaf in His hand did not get smaller!
Why? It is because as the Bread of life, He Himself is the heavenly
bakery. Having Him as Source means He can supply all the bread that is
needed to feed the whole world. 2 January 2017 Devotional message. If He
could feed the thousands of people in this passage, and if He could
feed the nation of Israel for 40 years in the wilderness (without them
engaging in any form of farming, fishing or hunting), He can definitely
feed you and your family throughout your stay on earth. Therefore, hand
over what He has given you back to Him! How much do you depend on Him
for both physical and spiritual bread?
Key point
The Best way to multiply what you have is to hand it over to the Lord Jesus Christ.
