the following program is sponsored by

friends and partners of Kingdom

connection

if you want to know what God thinks

about your life in your situation look

at Jesus what did he do and when there

was a great need of five thousand men

plus their wives and children and they

needed something to eat Jesus did not

just meet the need their mentality was

if we took all the money that we have

and we could go buy bread we would only

have enough to give each person a little

notice that’s how man thinks but God

Jesus God’s Son did not think little he

the Bible said that he blessed the bread

and the fish it multiplied and he fed

them until they were filled I don’t mean

they just ate enough to get them by they

were filled have you ever ate until you

were filled like Thanksgiving Christmas

it was one of those kind of meals where

they were filled I’m talking about I

can’t take anymore and then he said go

get the leftovers because I didn’t just

meet the need and fill up every tummy of

thousands and thousands of people but

there are 12 baskets left over because

we serve a God who exceeds the need

that’s what I’m preaching on today I

want to build your faith that your God

is not a get by God your God is a God

who exceeds the need when he fed the

5000 after all had eaten and I love the

words and they were fool God doesn’t

want you unsatisfied he wants you fool

they gathered up the baskets and there

remained after them twelve baskets in

John chapter 21 on another occasion

Jesus was on the seashore the disciples

had fished all night and caught nothing

he he gave them instructions from the

seashore throw your net on the other

side they threw it on the other side

their net

filled the Bible said they were filled

with with fish and when they came to

shore when they got to the seaside there

were quote other fish already on the

fire Jesus didn’t just feel their nets

Jesus didn’t just put so many fish in

their boat that it was about to sink but

he doesn’t just meet the need

but then he exceeds the need and when

they get there with so many fish they

can barely carry them he’s already got

other fish that he’s cooking on the fire

and you would think well Lord why didn’t

you take one of these fish that we just

caught and he’s he’s letting us know I

don’t just feel your nets I exceed your

need and I’ve got the fish cooking right

now I want you to know that we have a

God who is not only able to do what we

need him to do he’s able to do so much

more

he’s able to do as Ephesians said

exceedingly abundantly above all that we

could ask or that we could even even

think I want you to take a minute and

clap your hands like you believe he’s

worthy of praise this is for him

it’s a great there’s a great

illustration of what I’m talking about

in the Old Testament that I want you to

see it’s found in the story of Naomi and

Ruth you remember there was a famine and

they had lost everything and so they go

back to

Naomi’s homeland and they wanted to take

advantage of a Hebrew custom it was

actually a Hebrew law Moses had said

that in famine if people are poor and

they don’t have anything to eat they

have a right to go in the field and

scrape up the the leftover scraps and

try to get by on those meager provisions

that the law provided when the Reapers

were reaping the harvest if anything

dropped and was left on the ground the

poor and the impoverished could have it

and Ruth went into the field that day to

get nothing but the leftover and the

scraps and what the law would provide

remember she was a Gentile remember she

was not a Hebrew she had no business

being in the field but she was in the

field and she was a second-class not

worthy of the full blessing she’s just

on her knees and she finds a little a

little stock of maybe some cabbage and

she finds a little a little piece of

food here and a little bit of wheat here

she’s got a little Bowl and maybe by the

end of the day as she crawls on her

hands and knees she’ll have enough food

to maybe half fill that little bow and

take it home because I’m gonna tell you

why I believe it was like that is you

have to understand the Reapers were sure

handed the scripture said they were sure

handed meaning they were professional

Reapers and so can you imagine these

professional Reapers I mean they had it

down they knew how to do it and they

knew I can’t drop anything if I do that

old peasant will pick it up and get to

keep it so I’m not dropping anything and

then the owner of the field Boaz comes

riding up and he sees that pretty girl

Ruth down as she’s gathering pitiful

meager things just trying to scrape by a

little

scraps little little things just enough

to get by and when he saw Ruth he said

something to his servants that was

ridiculous in their minds he said drop

some handfuls on purpose get

butterfingers get sloppy do sloppy work

I mean drop it on purpose and poor roof

she didn’t know what was going on in he

and he said don’t tell her don’t let her

know what you’re doing I don’t want her

embarrassed I don’t want her humiliated

I don’t want her feeling bad I won’t

hurt it I want her to get handfuls on

purpose and you just act like it’s an

accident fake it and they get sloppy

handed and I could just see them in my

mind you got to understand the law said

you can only have a little bit but here

comes grace and when it sees a a Gentile

in the Hebrew field grace says I’m not

just gonna save you I’m not just gonna

give you life I’m not just gonna give

you what you need to get by but I’m

going to make sure that you have more

than enough and all of a sudden this

thing gets so crazy that they’re

dropping more than they’re holding on to

and she’s overloaded she’s like these

are the sloppiest workers I have ever

seen oh my God look at this and she

starts getting sacks and filling up

sacks of food drop an extra one for no

reason

the law says all she has coming to her

is one is dropped by accident and I want

you to understand that we’re going that

we we have a heavenly Boaz who under the

New Covenant didn’t just provide for us

see the law said you only get this much

enough to get by through the shed blood

of an animal and it’ll it won’t remove

your sin it’ll

Oh your sin over to the next year until

the Day of Atonement and the next year

to the Day of Atonement and the next

year you could never take sin away it

just rolled it over but here comes our

heavenly Boaz Jesus he says I’m gonna

bleed and we’re not under the Covenant

of Moses we’re under a new and a better

covenant and all of a sudden the Old

Covenant met our needs but the new

covenant exceeds our needs if the blood

of bulls and goats sanctified them then

how much more the writer says shall the

blood of Jesus Christ purge your

conscience your conscience from dead

works to serve the Living God you see

the Old Covenant it just was enough to

roll their sin over but we don’t just

get our sins forgiven he exceeds our

needs and he says I’ll purge your

conscience

I’m make sure you don’t have to walk

around in condemnation and shame and

guilt and not only will I do that but

I’ll bless you going in and I’ll bless

you coming out I’ll bless you in the

city and I’ll bless you in the field

oh and by my stripes you’re healed and

oh by the way I make a covenant with you

for your family that if you believe on

the Lord Jesus Christ you shall be saved

and your household and for generations

this blessing it’s not just enough I’m

not just saved it’s more than enough you

have to understand we have a better

covenant and a God who exceeds our needs

under Moses covenant when you came to

church you always had to bring a gift a

sacrifice if you were very wealthy you

would bring an ox if you were

middle-income you would bring a lamb if

you were very poor you still had to

bring an offering you would bring a

Turtledove it was not equal giving but

it was equal sacrifice and that’s why

the tithe is so powerful the person who

made a hundred thousand this week would

bring ten thousand the person who made a

thousand would bring one hundred

who made a hundred would bring $10 and

God says if they honor me with what they

have been given I will treat them

exactly the same it’s not equal giving

it’s equal sacrifice and now I want you

to see it so they would come with their

animals and they would give it to the

high priest and it would be slain and

offered and the meat would be set aside

and used for other things but they could

not eat it and they came with their

hands full but they left with their

hands empty you came with something but

you went home with nothing if you were

going to get a blessing under the Old

Covenant of Moses you better get it

while you’re in church because you’re

going home empty-handed but here comes

David and David is bringing the Ark of

the Covenant back and the Bible said

that he set the tent up on Mount Zion

and he said roll the curtains up we’re

gonna have a different kind of worship

and he said the people can still bring

the exact same sacrifices and they did

they brought the oxen they brought the

lamb they brought the turtle doves he

said bring the same offerings and let

the families gather let whosoever will

come let them come and let them gather

around the Ark of the Covenant and let

him offer their sacrifices but when they

were about to leave this is the

different David did something different

that had never been seen before David

said before you leave I want you to do

something and he said take home with you

number one cakes of bread and take home

with you a good piece of flesh or a good

piece of meat and take home with you a

flagon or a container of wine you know

what he was doing he was saying you came

and for generations and years and years

and years they came and when they came

to church they came with their hands

full but they went home empty and if you

were gonna get a blessing you could get

blessed at church but you couldn’t take

it back home but we serve a God who

exceeds the need and David got a

revelation when he said I don’t want you

to come to church

and just get blessed in church I want

you to take it home and he said so take

the cake of bread that represents the

word take the piece of flesh that

represents the Savior who was offered to

set you three and take the wine that

represents a spirit of joy in your soul

and he said don’t just have it in church

but take it home with you because you

serve a God who exceeds the need in

Moses tabernacle you left the sacrifice

and went home empty-handed but in

David’s tabernacle you take something

back with you after you have given and

in Acts chapter 15 there’s a prophecy

and God says I will restore the

tabernacle of David I’m gonna give

something to you that you can take home

with you and it will exceed your need we

don’t just come to church and have

church and it’s over but the real thing

that Jesus wants to do is he wants you

to leave here with more of Jesus and

take it back to your life and go to work

and get up on Monday folks I’m telling

you we got to quit being religious we

gotta quit playing Church and we’re

supposed to come and leave here not

empty-handed and go right back to

whatever but we go back saying I’m not

alone I’ve got the blood I’ve got the

name of got the word I’ve got what I

need

and I’m an overcomer and I’ve got a God

who exceeds my need I love the story of

naman I love the story of how his maid

who was a little Hebrew girl who is

enslaved probably conquered in one of

his one of his Wars that he fought

against Israel and she was enslaved and

in one day she saw him dying of leprosy

and she said to him I wish you would go

down to Samaria there’s a prophet there

that could heal you he’s a man of God

and in desperation he said I’ll go

history records that Samaria was 120

miles he journeyed on a horse or

whatever it was that was carrying him

for a hung

and 20 miles when he got there he

thought well surely this prophet will

make a big deal I’m a general

I am a big shot I’m a wealthy powerful

famous man but he was a leper and when

the Prophet saw him and when he got

there he was welcomed by nobody he found

a very anti-social prophet his lip was

curled up over his chin he could care

less I could see him sitting on his

rocker on his front porch and here comes

this powerful rich wealthy man with all

of his entourage and they all come

pulling up and he is not impressed at

all and he says well I’m here what do

you want me to do to get healed and the

Prophet would not even acknowledge him

he told his servant tell him for me to

go down to the Jordan River which is

another 30 miles by the way which is a

total of 150 miles and tell him to dip

seven times and if he’ll duck seven

times in the pond that seven ducks in

the pond if he will duck seven times in

the pond he will be healed now tell you

that man got all mad and got all upset

and was about to go off in anger and

suddenly somebody said why don’t you

just do what he said do and he agreed

and he fussed about it he said there’s

closer rivers and cleaner rivers why do

I have to go down here I don’t like that

River it’s a nasty river it’s the most

unpopular river but he winning God in

the river and when he came up the

seventh time he didn’t just get healed

but the Bible said his skin was the skin

of a new born baby I could see him in my

mind is he I think he loved that River I

can prove it scripture the river that he

hated the river that he mauled the river

that he despised now when he came up

that seven time he splashed I don’t

think they could get him out of the

water I think he was weeping and crying

and laughing and

and laughing and splashing and laughing

and crying and praising god oh my god I

can go back to my wife I can go back to

my children I can I can I can interact

with human beings again I can have a

life I can I can enjoy myself I got my

life back

he’s splashing around and then he gets a

great idea he says you know what they

said come on you got to get out of there

he said well I do have to go back to

Syria but in Syria they worship the idol

called Raymond and he said I like this

so much help me and he dug mud from the

riverbank and the Bible said he put so

much mud in bags that it was to mule

loads from the Jordan River

he got so much of that say God doesn’t

just heal your body meat you need hit

watch him he doesn’t just want you to

have Church in the river he wants you to

take he wants you to go home with

something and so he exceeds the knee and

can you see him packing down to new

loads a mud from the river and he gets

back and the Bible says what he said he

was gonna do with it he said I’m gonna

go in the temple of Raymond and that’s

where they worship their God but he said

I’m gonna take me some holy ground in

there and I’m gonna throw it down on the

ground and I’m gonna stand on that mud

from the river of the God who healed me

in that river and I’m gonna raise my

hands and worship the God of Abraham

Isaac and Jacob and they can worship all

the devils they want but where I am is

holy ground cuz he doesn’t just meet my

needs here but he says why don’t you

take some home with you why don’t you I

don’t care where you work I don’t care

what hostile environment you’re in I

don’t care if you’re the only one living

for God on the campus I don’t care if

nobody else is serving God in your

family do you know that God has so much

grace that he says if I can get one

person they can take and make that place

holy ground and my ground will take over

the devil’s ground I need some

to give God a shout oh it’s the truth

hallelujah praise God he exceeds the

need in 2nd Kings chapter 4 when he told

the widow woman to get in borrow vessels

and start pouring a little bit of old

that she had in the old wit and run out

and it filled every vessel that she had

and then God said through the Prophet

sail what you have now and pay your debt

everybody say pay your debt God can

remove debt from our life pay your debt

but he doesn’t stop there that would

have been enough because you remember

her sons were being enslaved for a debt

that her dead husband couldn’t pay and

the next generation was about to be

taken away and God gave her a miracle

and said pay your debt and live on the

rest just enjoy the rest of your life

cuz I’m gonna exceed your knee I know

you got a little knee but that need is

not big enough for hat for me

I have to I have to do press down if I

won’t do it God says I’m gonna do press

down shake him together running over
