THE LINK: JESUS’ RESPONSE TO SMALL
Matthew 14:17–19 (NKJV)
“And they said to Him, ‘We have here only five loaves and two fish.’ He said, ‘Bring them here to Me.’ Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.”
Every little provision, help, favour, opportunity, and act of kindness can be a LINK to something greater.
However, our response to small beginnings can either activate the link to surplus or deactivate the link to the abundance we are expecting.
Let us examine JESUS’ response to something that appeared small.
From our opening Scripture, JESUS saw beyond what the disciples could see. While the disciples saw only five loaves and two fish, JESUS saw the possibility of feeding a multitude.
JESUS, being God, knew that the little in their hands could become much when surrendered to the hands of God.
He did not despise the little.
He did not reject it because it was insufficient.
He simply said:
“Bring them here to Me.”
JESUS accepted the little, gave thanks to God, blessed it, broke it, and released it—and that little became a supernatural supply for thousands.
What looked like little provisions became a LINK to great abundance.
JESUS never disregarded the little. He was grateful that there was a provision at all, and He blessed the name of the LORD, the God of increase and multiplication.
By responding correctly to the little, JESUS activated the LINK to the surplus.
I always teach that there is often only one step between us and our miracle. But our actions and reactions can either turn that one step into a million steps or help us take that single step into our testimony.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISCONNECT THE LINK
Isaiah 59:1–2 (NKJV)
“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.”
The word “iniquity” carries the idea of deviation or turning away from what is right.
This is one of the dangers among believers in this end time. Sometimes, we disconnect ourselves from what God is doing because of disobedience, wrong reactions, pride, or spiritual insensitivity.
The enemy can take advantage of these things and cause people to miss what God has prepared for them.
We often fail to recognize the move of God because we disregard the LINK to the greater harvest.
Sometimes, the answer does not arrive looking like the answer we expected.
Sometimes, the miracle begins as an opportunity.
Sometimes, divine provision comes through an unexpected person.
Sometimes, the door to abundance begins with something that looks insignificant.
Do not despise the LINK because it looks small.
We must learn to respond to small things the JESUS way.
JESUS was grateful that there was a provision at all. With all His authority and divine status, He still humbled Himself, accepted the little that was available, gave thanks to God, and allowed the Father to multiply it.
BELOVED, ASK YOURSELF:
How often have you rejected an offer simply because it was not what you hoped for?
How often have you neglected counsel that could have transformed your life simply because it did not come from someone you considered important?
How often have you missed your miracle in your time and season because of insensitivity to the operation of the Heavenly Host?
How often have you failed to appreciate the little kindness offered to you by someone who may not have much?
Beloved, never allow pride to make you reject what God has provided.
The person may look small, the opportunity may look small, the beginning may look small, and the provision may look insufficient—but God specializes in turning little into much.
The five loaves and two fish were not enough in the hands of men, but they became more than enough in the hands of JESUS.
Therefore, learn humility.
Learn gratitude.
Learn discernment.
Learn to recognize divine opportunities.
Learn to honour small beginnings.
Because what you call small today may be the LINK to the abundance you have been praying for tomorrow.
Do not disconnect yourself from your miracle by despising its beginning.
Father, teach me Your ways and enlighten my understanding. Give me the grace to recognize, appreciate, and properly respond to every divine LINK You bring into my life. Deliver me from pride, ingratitude, disobedience, and spiritual insensitivity. Help me never to despise what You have provided, no matter how small it may appear. In the name of JESUS. Amen.
