Scripture 2 Kings 4: 42-44
When we read through the New Testament we see accounts of how God multiplied the loves and fishes. Many feel when they read this that it happened because Jesus was there in person. We can see that in this case that is not true. There were one hundred men with Elisha when a man brought 20 loaves of bread and corn for the men to eat. When he realized how much there was, compared to the amount of men to be fed, he realized there would not be enough for everyone. When his servant asked Elisha what he was going to do, Elisha told him to set it before the men because God had said that they would eat and have some left over. Sure enough, according to the word of the Lord, that is exactly what happened.
If you wish you can compare this to Matthew 14:20. All throughout scripture we can see where God multiplied things when the people, in faith, did what they were told to do. They had to totally rely on the word of God, because they couldn't SEE anything to show them that they would indeed receive what they were promised.
If you are asking God to meet a need today, whatever He tells you to do, do. God is a God of impossibilities. There is absolutely nothing too hard for Him to do. He is able to do far more than we could ever possibly imagine in our wildest dreams. What a mighty God we serve!!! Trust Him to meet your needs today. He will see you through.
When God met their needs
Things were not half done
He's still meeting needs today
Through Jesus Christ His Son
