Prayer Meeting Word¬

I went to prayer meeting today and i was really blessed by God. I had an image and a word that came to me when i was praying, it was a word for myself, but i was so blessed, so i thought i would share it!


The word comes from the event of the in the book of John chapter 6 about the feeding of five thousand people. More specifically John 6:9


I was thinking about the whole 'fish' image of the Christian faith in the olden days and was wondering why was it a fish... anyway, before i get too side tracked.


In the word i imagined my self coming before God and presenting him with my single fish... and this fish represented my talents and abilities. Now my fish was a regular size fish, bigger than others but smaller than others, similarly representing my talents.


Recently i've been feeling that i needed to be 'successful' in my ministry in order to win approval of others or of God. But i know this is from the devil and God doesn't want us to be successful but faithful!


So this fish represents my talents and abilities. In my hands, my fish could feed.... 1, 2 people, maybe 10 if everyone had only one bite. BUT in GOD's hands, it could feed thousands upon thousands. It doesn't even matter what size fish it is... God uses the fish beyond anything we could ever fathom.



Thus i felt God's word for me was to let Him take what little talent and ability i have and He will do great things with my fish :)


I encourage you to all to put your talents into the hands of God and allow Him to use them to impact many people!
