Don't Forget To Remember | Robert Madu

“DON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER” Mark 8:14-21 (NIV) The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.” Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied. “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.” He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” Matthew 6:31-33 (NIV) So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 1. YOU’RE CALLED TO PROBLEMS BECAUSE YOU’RE CALLED TO PEOPLE 2.

MULTIPLICATION HAPPENS THROUGH INTERACTION WORRY IS OFTEN THE BYPRODUCT OF ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS HOW MANY LOAVES DO YOU HAVE? “THE POWER OF PRAYER IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO YOUR WILLINGNESS TO BE A PART OF GOD’S ANSWER” HOWARD THURMAN
