The Power Of RestSample
When we all grew up in the earth curse financial system of painful toil and sweat, we dreamed of one thing, stopping! I mentioned this previously. We did not dream of more work or another opportunity because, quite frankly, we were already overwhelmed with life and just holding out until the next vacation. You see, slaves dream of one thing—Friday night, not Monday morning. The overwhelmed and “can’t wait to stop” mind-set is never going to take you anywhere. Even if an angel came into your bedroom and told you an idea from God, your mind-set would still hold you back.
You must see past being “satisfied” to capture the double portion!
After Jesus fed the 5,000, what did He tell them to do? He told them to go gather the fragments! The overflow was in the fragments.
Here is the key: the disciples did not see the fragments until Jesus pointed them out. Even so, God had already given them the Sabbath rest, more than enough, the double portion. They just had to recognize and capture it.
God is never going to just supply satisfied; He will always supply more than enough. The issue is you may not be seeing it!
Luke 6:38 says “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together,” but it doesn’t stop there. The verse goes on to say, “and running over.” That’s the double portion!
God always supplies the double portion, never just enough.
The problem is too many people don’t recognize the fragments in their lives, and they let the double portion fall to the ground while they focus on being satisfied instead of preparing to capture the overflow. When you understand how the Kingdom operates, you can anticipate and prepare to act and capture all that God has for you!
