BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.65 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Scripture References: John 6:11 | 3 John 2 | John 1:14 | Jeremiah 1:5 | Proverbs 3:28 | 2 Timothy 2:6 | Matthew 23:29; 19:19 | Proverbs 22:24 | Hebrews 13:8 In this stirring continuation of our Miracle of Jesus Bible Study, we turn our attention to the phrase in John 6:11: "...as much as they would..."—a powerful glimpse into the heart of God's generosity. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the posture of Jesus in the feeding of the five thousand men, revealing timeless truths about distribution, faith, and the supernatural surplus that follows obedience. Key Highlights: - The Role of the Disciple: We are called to distribute, not to ration or portion the Word of God. Restriction is not our assignment—faithful release is. (Proverbs 3:28; 2 Timothy 2:6) - Faith and Provision: God’s provision is never limited by human logic. When we teach and feed others first, the overflow comes—not just fragments, but baskets full. (Matthew 23:29; 19:19) - Compassion Over Tenacity: It is compassion—not sheer determination—that anchors us in the Great Commission. Compassion shifts our focus from personal need to divine instruction. - Feeding Others First: The miracle teaches that our sustenance as disciples comes from feeding others. When we prioritize others, we receive more than enough. - Faith Through Retrospection: Faith for today is strengthened by remembering what God has done. The disciples’ witness of past miracles—like water turned to wine—prepared them to trust in the multiplication of loaves and fishes. (Hebrews 13:8; Proverbs 22:24) - Spiritual Health and Strength: Strong, healthy believers are essential for the preaching and teaching of the gospel. Spiritual vitality fuels the mission. This episode is a call to trust the abundance of God, to release the Word without restriction, and to remember that the miracle is in the distribution. Let your faith be stirred as you listen, and be reminded: God’s provision is always more than enough—as much as they would.
