In John 6, Jesus was at the Sea of Galilee, and a great multitude was there. As Jesus lifts His eyes, He sees the need of the multitudes and goes on to do the Miracle of Multiplication. How can we walk in God’s favor?
1. To walk in God’s Favor, you need to sow (6:9)
There was a boy that was willing to give up his meal. It was an act of kindness. He sowed something small that brought a big miracle and blessed many. What about us? What are we sowing? Are you sowing words of encouragement? Are you sowing acts of kindness? Are you sowing your finances?
The principle of sowing affects every area of our life.
· You reap what you sow
· You reap more than you sow
· You reap in season
· If you don’t sow, you don’t reap
2. To walk in God’s Favor, you need to give thanks (6:11)
What did Jesus do when He received the 5 loaves and 2 fish? He gave thanks. He gave thanks for the 5 loaves and 2 fish.
If you can’t give thanks for small things, don’t expect the big things to happen.
If you can’t give thanks for your work situation, don’t expect promotions and favor to come.
If you can give thanks for your family, don’t expect great things to happen
The Bible says “In everything give thanks” (1 Thes.5:18)
3. To walk in God’s Favor, you need to do what Jesus says (6:11)
The disciples obeyed Jesus, They followed instructions and as a result became partners of the miracle. Do what Jesus tells you to do and expect the miracle to take place.
4. To walk in God’s Favor, you must glorify Jesus (6:14)
Every miracle must point people to Jesus and glorify Him. It is all for Him and Him alone.
See you on Sunday!
