When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. John 6:12 KJV
When everyone was satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, “Now go back and gather up the pieces left over so that nothing will be wasted.” John 6:12 TPT
When they had eaten enough, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.”
John 6:12 AMP
There are numerous things that the Lord has done in the year 2021, but the Lord wants you to gather the fragments. THERE IS STILL MUCH MORE.
He is the God of the overflow. Everyone was already satisfied but the Lord had something more in store. The Lord is here today with that Miracle of Something More, Something better, something higher, something greater. Something good is happening perhaps has happened BUT SOMETHING BETTER IS ON THE HORIZON.
However, what instruction have you received that will bring the miracle of the abundance in the fragments? Jesus said – Go back and gather the leftovers. That instruction may not be an easy task to carry out. How easy is it to gather things? However, to get the abundance of the leftovers, you must obey and your obedience must be a willing one.
Go back to the dealings of God upon your life in the year 2021 from January until now. Go back to your notes and jottings. Go back to the instructions that you have received from God.
- Go back to the instructions to pray for a specified period of time (one hour /15 minutes daily) that God gave you in the year.
- Go back to those scriptures/promises that you were sure that God spoke to you from or gave you sometime in the year.
- Go back and start gathering.
- Go back to the gym. Indeed, it is in all areas of life.
- Go back to that intercession.
- Go back to the daily/weekly bible studies.
- Go back to evangelism.
- Go back to sending encouraging text messages to your friends.
Therefore, they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. John 6:13 KJV
Gathering the leftovers/fragments produced 12 whole baskets! What would have happened to those 12 baskets if they had not gone back to gather as instructed by the Lord Jesus?
God hates wastage. Do not waste God’s investments in your life.
Dear reader, your 12 baskets are still waiting this month.
That step that you felt in your heart to take but you did not take it or that thing that you worked on for a few days and abandoned it, GO BACK TO IT.
Let nothing be wasted.
Your 12 baskets are waiting for you to gather.
None of the Lord’s resources upon your life must go to waste!
Will you be willing to pray with me on what you just read?
Lord Jesus, help me to gather up all that is left of your blessings for me for this year in the name of Jesus. Oh, Lord, I need your help – more insight, more patience, more love, more of your grace. Lord, none of your investments in my life will go to waste in Jesus’ name. I will not be lazy nor will I procrastinate any further. Thank you, Father. In Jesus’ name, I have prayed. Amen.
