John 6:11

​Praise the Lord today's verse is from John 6:11 “Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.”

‭
We have to give thanks to God for our food, for it is the mercies of God that we have this food in our hand. We have it from the hand of God and must receive it with thanksgiving. We have to thank God for everything we receive in our life. 
May be our clothes, maybe our shoes, or any other things. What have you said thanks to God lately? 

We have a beautiful picture here of the perishing world or the people, the powerless disciples, and the perfect Saviour Jesus Christ, the miracle be involved a true act of creation. 
John mentioned the fact that Jesus gave thanks, but the other gospel states that Jesus looked up to heaven when he gave thanks by that act he reminded the hungry people that God is the source of all good and needful gifts. This is a good lesson for us instead of complaining about what we do not have, we should give thanks to God for what we do have, and he will make it to go further in our lives. Here we see Jesus giving the bread to his disciples and and the disciples gave it to the people. 
This miracle also reminds us that while salvation is of the Lord and bestowed only by grace, God still uses human instrument to take this gospel message to man. Rom 10:14 says How shall they hear without a preacher? How can they hear the gospel without someone preaching to them? 

We give ourselves to God. He will take it, break it, and use it to bless others. There is a beautiful song, Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us, break us, melt us, mould us, and use us. God has saved us and has given us the responsibility of telling others about this salvation, about this gospel. 
John 3:16 says for God, so love the world that he gave, His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him, shall not perish, but have eternal life. This is the message of gospel. 

John. 6:11 also says that they had as much as they wanted. 
Jesus provides us whatever he provides he provides it abundantly Ephesians 3:20 says now to him who is able to do far more abundantly, beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us. 

Here we see the boy gave everything he had. Let us also give ourselves to God today. 
Prayer 

Let us pray, Heavenly Father, we submit ourselves to you, O God, we thank God for everything we have received in our lives. It is a gift of God. 
I thank you for this day, O Lord. We give ourselves into your hands in Jesus precious name, I pray. Amen, God bless you.

English John 4:5

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...

John 4:1,2

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...
