You feed them.

Wow! That is truly an earth-shattering command and revelation! Think for a sec, what Jesus is saying! You can feed them. You!

Our day is overwhelmed with the notion that we must seek educated professional experts for everything. We have experts all around us to guide is in every aspect of life. People we rely on to guide us in truth. Doctors, psychologists, professors, nutritionists, preachers, teachers, … The list goes on and on. For any aspect of life we are told to turn to someone else to seek help.

But Jesus says “you feed them”.

If you are walking in the daily light of Christ, hearing from heaven, seeking His will over our own, keeping ourselves from the world as saints of a holy God, filled always with His goodness and glory, then… and only then… YOU can feed them! You have the answer. Inside you is the wisdom and knowledge of the universe. Why would you need to turn to an expert, educated in the ways of man? What does he know that God doesn’t?

You see, the Christian Life is not a life filled with phone numbers of experts, running here or there to find our way. No! Jesus empowers us to know and to serve anyone, anywhere, anytime… As long as we are walking with HIM daily!

Now, please understand. Be very careful. The disciples were WITH Jesus when he told them to feed the crowd. Are you WITH Jesus right now? That is a prerequisite! If your walking in your own desires and plans, trusting in your own wisdom and talents, then DO NOT DO THIS! You will fail. It’s not you, it’s HIM. You must be with Jesus to walk in His power. To know His wisdom and knowledge.

But when you stay with Jesus, pray without ceasing, fast and seek His will, die to selfish ambitions, then you can feed God’s sheep! You can give a word of advice, healing, solution. You don’t have to send a troubled friend to a doctor or a counselor, you have the answer.

Where does wisdom come from? Why oh why is God’s church using the ways of man in an attempt to walk as God? Will education and training bring God’s wisdom? How can we even think that man can replace God?!?

Why? Because… It started in the garden. Knowledge of good and evil, make your own choices, find your own way. Serve yourself. Be like God. That same call from satan is in our ears today.

No. A powerful church must reject the ways and reliance on man. A powerful and free church must walk by the Spirit in humility and holiness. A powerful church can feed the sheep, as long as they stay with Jesus.

Once again, it’s all Him, and none of us. You can be used of God to do what the greatest expert on Earth can not do. If and only if, you walk with Jesus daily.

Seek him, and all these things shall be added into you.
