“There’s a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But that’s a drop in the bucket for a crowd like this.” (John 6:9 MSG)
It was a massive crowd, three days without food in a wilderness. They didn’t have anything to replenish their bodies with but still they wanted to hear more of the life giving words Jesus spoke. Lack of food was going to be the party spoiler but through faith, it was not a hopeless situation.
Jesus asks Philip, where shall we buy bread for all these people? He was scrutinizing him to see what he would say for Jesus already knew what he would do. Philip looked at the condition of the coffers and answered that two hundred pennyworth of bread was not enough. Andrew spoke; there is a little boy with five barley loaves and two fish- a drop in the bucket for a huge crowd. For Jesus, it was a perfect situation for the demonstration of Heavy Duty Faith.
Jesus was going to unleash faith to turn things around for good! He asked the people to sit down in anticipation of food. He was seeing the food multiplied without a shadow of doubt in Him. It is like setting the dinner table for the visitors when there is no food in the house and asking the visitors to wash their hands and wait for food. The result was an amazing testimony in the kingdom of God and a devastating sword in the domain of the enemy. A hungry multitude in the wilderness was fed with twelve baskets of excess collected.
Let me speak to you today, your faith can turn any wilderness situation into a joyous celebration. Like Philip, don’t look at what you have as a means to the supply. Like Andrew, don’t question the ability of little turning into much. Turn your faith on for overwhelming results. Philip looked at the things as they appeared and doubted. Don’t look at the doctor’s report, don’t look at your wallet, and don’t look at the world system- discharge your heavy duty faith on stubborn circumstances for heavy duty results! Circumstances must not dominate you- you must dominate circumstances.
There is provision available in your life right now needing to be triggered by your faith. Shock the devil by changing the field where this game of life is played through faith. Faith gives you an inequitable advantage over the world- this is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith.
Declare this,
My faith is dominating as I stand on the word of God. I deny the circumstances the opportunity to stop me from seeing the power of God over my situation. I am seeing the Lord in the land of the living!
