FAITH CAPSULE: It is true and clear that out of nothing, God will bring out surplus.

Mark 8:1-10

God’s question to man is not an evidence that God does not have an answer for man. God alone does have answer for every persisting situation in man’s life.
Moses exhausted every reasonable excuse in his attempt not to answer God’s calling upon him to lead the children of Israel out of bondage of over four hundred years. As Moses was exhausting his reasonable excuse God was investing all that it takes for him to answer to the calling upon his life. God made it clear that whatever is in our hand can connect His presence for power demonstration. God asked Moses, “…What is that in your hand?’ He said, ‘A rod.” (Exodus 4:2) When God pointed out the rod in Moses’ hand, it became a power in the hand of Moses. Despite the power demonstration of the rod in his hand, Moses responded to God stating, “And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.” (Exodus 4:17) God asked Moses a question and He backed His question with an answer that was enough to see Moses through in leading the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years.
What is it in your hand which you do not recognize that God can use for the manifestation of His glory in your life?

Just as it was in the Old Testament so it was in the New Testament when Jesus needed to make provision for thousands who followed Him for three days with nothing to eat. Jesus wanted to know what was in the hand of His disciples that could feed the multitude which followed Him. Jesus did not want to send the multitudes away in hunger. “He asked them, ‘How many loaves do you have?’ And they said ‘seven.’” (Mark 8:5) The Lord is ready to work with what is in our hand if we know to hear and understand what He is telling us. Do you know what is in your hand or what you have that is enough to carry you through in the calling of your life? Let God know your situation and He will respond to you with a struggle terminating answer which will bring the best answer to your question. Just a rod in the hand of Moses was enough to answer for him in all areas of calling. In the hands of His disciples, seven loaves was more than enough to feed four thousand. It is true and clear that out of nothing, God will bring out surplus. Answer to God faithfully and He will give answer to in-solvable question.
