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
