Thanksgiving @ 10:13 PM
hey guys!
let me share with you all what pst aries preached for offering!
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

Matthew 14:16-19(NKJV)
This is the parable of Jesus feeding the five thousand with five loaves and two fishes. You must be wondering how did Jesus managed to feed 5000 men with just 5 loaves and two fishes. The key is in v.19:
"And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples"
In one version, the word "blessed" means to "give thanks" or simply, Thanksgiving.
Therefore, you see, just by giving thanks alone, Jesus is able to feed 5000 men!
so, Thanksgiving brings forth multiplication!
let's start giving thanks to the Lord in one way or another, whether is good or bad, give thanks!
If you dont know what to thank the Lord for, thank Him for giving us a great cell group leader like Jieying! or thank Him for wonderful members in the cg! As we give thanks to the Lord, multiplication will come forth in Jesus name!
Lets all start giving thanks and love every single individual in the cg! for the greatest of all these is LOVE!(:
Yours truly,
StanleyJose
