Hello Everyone,
The first lesson that we see in the “Feeding of the 5000” is don’t let problems that are outside your control stop you from ministering to others.Now in the case of problems that we bring on ourselves -it might be best to wait till later before ministering to others.It’s the problems that come into our lives that we have no control over those are the kinds of problems that should never stop us from ministering to others. Think about it! If every problem outside of our control stopped us from ministering to others then the Devil will just keep sending those kinds of problems into our lives. In feeding the 5000 Jesus refuses to let problems stop Him from ministering to others. What was the Timing of this miracle? John 6:1 –“Some time after this…” Some time after what we might ask?Let’s look at John 5:16-18 to see: “So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too, am working.” For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.” The Jews persecuted Jesus to try to stop Him from ministering to others.Jesus refuses to let the problem stop Him from ministering to others.But instead of the problem getting better- the problem just gets worse Question: How is Jesus still able to continue to minister to others even after the problem got worse?
Answer. There was something that Jesus knew that allowed Him to continue to minister to others no matter how bad the problem got!

We will see what Jesus knew tomorrow.

Oh How HE Loves Us!
