I'm reading this book called "WORDS OF JESUS" from Life Outreach International Ministry. I don't even remember ordering this book, but I'm sure glad and blessed to have it. This book is just what it is. All the words that Jesus spoke from the first to the last. Anyway, I was reading the words Jesus spoke to the Disciples when they wanted to send the people that came to hear Jesus away so they can go to the market to get something to eat, and due to it being late in the day and they had been out there listen all day for hours. Jesus said in Matthew 14: 16 "They need not depart; give ye them to eat". Now to remind you prior before Jesus started preaching the kingdom to the people that on the same day, he had just heard about John the Baptist being beheaded and how it happened. Jesus went away to be alone when the people heard where he was going and went after him to hear more of the kingdom and heal their sick.
Can you imagine trying to get away so you can grieve over a loved one that was just beheaded and the people wouldn't let you? In this life time, we would probably push them away. Even though I've heard testimonies of preachers and speakers that experienced the same grief, but continued to move forward and preach, I do have to ask myself if they didn't already have arrangements or engagement to speak, would they have moved forward? Not taking away from their testimony, but I can't help but wonder. Not like Jesus who never had arrangements or engagements to speak, he just spoke the word as he went. What I love about Jesus is that when he seen the people the bible said "he was moved with compassion" v-14. Knowing that he took a boat to get away and these people "followed him by foot out to the cities." v13. The "Life in the Spirit Study Bible" says in v-14 "When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them". That tells me that once the people found out where Jesus was going they manage to get there before him, wow, now that's how you seek, and I haven't even got to the point of this blog lol. So with that said, the point of me wanting to blog this scripture is when Jesus told the disciples to "bring them (the five loafs of bread and the two fishes) hither to me". All I can think about as I cried, is bringing all that I had at that moment to Jesus as the gospel song says "I'll give it all to you" that was playing and ministering to me, and how now the song "How deeply I need you" from the "Shekinah Gory Ministry" track is playing, I'm being double blessed right now and it's only by the holyspirit that I'm able to typeπππ. JESUS!JESUS!JESUS! GLORY TO GOD! That's all Jesus ask. BRING ALL THAT WE HAVE, No matter how big or small. No matter how new or old, or how good or bad, JUST BRING IT TO HIM! So Jesus can do what he did with the five loaves and two fishes. "Taking the five loaves and the two fish (all that you have) and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks (blessed it) and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples (back to you) and the disciples (you) gave them to the people (those around you). They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples (you) picked up twelve basket full of broken pieces that were left over", to give to others. Gotta go, can't say no more πππ!!!
Lord Help Us All,
Sista LoLo

By the way, Jesus said in v-16 "YOU give them something to eat".
