When God called Moses and gave him an assignment to go to Egypt and lead the children of Israel out, he was hesitant. He was feeling inadequate and was convinced that he was not the right man for that kind of job. Among other concerns, was what will happen if the Israelites didn't believe that God had revealed Himself to him. At this point, God asked Moses what he was holding.
Moses had something in his hand and it was just a simple walking stick. He was using this stick to take care of Jethro's sheep and goats. Yet it's this same stick that God used to perform miracles and wonders in Egypt. If you were to ask Moses, he would tell you, it's just a walking stick, what can it do? But when God got involved, it became such a powerful instrument that Moses used in his entire calling and life to
accomplish God's plans and purposes.
The widow of a member of a group of prophets went to Elisha and said, “Sir, my husband has died!
As you know, he was a God-fearing man, but now a man he owed money to has come to take away my two sons as slaves in payment for my husband's debt.” Elisha asked her what she had at home. She answered, “nothing at all, except a small jar of olive oil.” He then instructed her to go to her neighbours and borrow as many empty jars as she can. “Then
you and your sons go into the house, close the door and start pouring oil into the jars. Set each one aside as soon as it is full” (2 Kings 4:3-4). She did as she was instructed until the last one was full. She went back to Elisha, the prophet, who said to her,
“Sell the olive oil and pay all your debts, and there will be enough money left over for you and your sons to live on” (2 Kings 4:7).
A large crowd followed Jesus and when he looked around and saw that many were coming to him, he
asked Phillip, “Where can we buy enough food to feed all these people?” Phillip answered, “For
everyone to have even a little, it would take more than two hundred silver coins to buy enough bread.” Another of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, said, “There is a boy here who has 5 loaves of barley bread and two fish.
But they will certainly not be enough for all these people” (John 6:5-9).
Jesus told His disciples to make the people sit down and they did. There were about 5000 men.
He took the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, and they all
had as much as they wanted. �
These are cases mentioned in the Bible of people who were in hopeless and desperate situations. There is no record in the Bible of a person who trusted in this God and was put to shame. No matter what your case is I'm convinced to let you know that God will multiply the little you have.
Faith is the currency for believers.
