Scripture Union Daily Guide 17 January 2024 Outline:
Many of our church programs and crusades, especially the ones held by international and renowned speakers/evangelists are densely crowded. The story was the same during the days of Jesus. What really is the motivation (v.2)? They normally come for healings, signs, and wonders and not necessarily to receive salvation. Today, some come to do business and make connections. We need to pray for a correct mindset for the thousands who crowd our churches and crusade grounds.
Beware of crowds. You will never encounter Christ by following them. Read vs.3-5. Jesus did not just preach the word (Mark 6:34); notice His concern for the people. What lessons on the welfare needs of people can the Church of today learn from Him? In these days of poverty and extreme hunger and lack, we must not toy with the welfare needs of people. We can make more impact by targeting the total man.
Read vs.4-7 again. What can you say about Philip? Compare his attitude with that of Andrew (vs.8-9). Do you see faith and concern in Andrew? A little given to Jesus can be multiplied to meet the needs of many (vs.10-11). Read vs.12-14 again and ponder on lessons we can learn on prudent food management and administration in our homes, camps, and public places.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Dear Lord, I surrender my five loaves and two fish. Multiply them to meet the needs of my suffering and hungry generation.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Numbers 23:21
