Daily pearls from the shore *QUESTION: 5/2/12/7/2/7/0/153 =?* A few people got stranded in a no-man ’s-land without having access to basic needs like food, etc. Apparently, there will be some time before help arrives. Now, hours pass by, or maybe a day at the most. Everyone needs food, etc. No one really has anything to eat except one person with some snacks. What do you think can happen? What would you do if you had a sandwich or a pack of chips, knowing the uncertainty of the situation? No judgement. It’s only human to think for yourself and keep the little you have for yourself. It happened in the past, too.  Many people, including five thousand men in addition to women and children who were accompanying, went to the event. The event continued for more than one day. Everybody was getting hungry and lethargic. There were no food courts or food trucks in the proximity. It was getting dark again. The speaker asked the organizers and the team to make a plan for the people to have food. The team started brainstorming as there was no provision for food for so many people. Then a little guy showed up who heard their conversation. He offered his lunch of five loaves and two fish. The speaker asked for an update on arrangements. The team informed him about the situation and the little food they could arrange with five loaves and two fish. The speaker took the LITTLE FOOD and looked to the heavens and prayed. Then he asked the team to start distributing food. (Matthew 14: 16-19) Matthew 14:20 states, “They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.” They *numbered 5000 men, plus the women and children.* *The Speaker was Jesus.*  Another time, Jesus had a healing crusade going on near the Sea of Galilee. Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.” His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?” “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.” Then He took the seven loaves and the fish, and when He had given thanks, He broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was *four thousand men, besides women and children.* (Matthew 15: 32-39)  Trying to catch some fish, the disciples were burnt out, struggling all night, only to catch none. Jesus showed up and asked to cast the net on the right side. Peter and the disciples ended up catching a huge *fish numbered 153, and their net was still intact* . (John 21:10-11) What’s the maths here? 5 loaves and 2 fish, 7 loaves and 2 fish, no fish and 153 fish and 5000, 4000 and more. 12 baskets full left over, 7 baskets left over, and the big fish and net not broken. I may not know the maths, but I know Jesus. This is Jesus and His provision. This is His economy, and I am still in the preliminary years of graduation in His kingdom. I know ***only ONE LOGIC here- HIS NAME IS JESUS. I just know he can work with NOTHING, ANYTHING. And EVERYTHING*** Just bring it, and the rest is His responsibility. *ANSWER: (5/2/12/7/2/7/0/153)*JESUS= ∞.*

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🎀💝🎁🌺🌹MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY. THURSDAY MAY 21, 2026. "HOW IS YOUR WORK'S ETHIC? (2)" She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, 'Drink and I will water your camels..........Genesis 24:46 NIV WHEN ABRAHAM’S servant arrived in the town of Nahor, a young woman named Rebekah offered to give him a drink of water. When he had finished drinking, Rebekah said, ‘I’ll water your camels, too.’ We are told that she ‘quickly’ emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well. It all sounds fairly unremarkable, until you read between the lines: one gallon of water weighs eight pounds. A thirsty camel can drink up to thirty gallons of water and there were ten camels. Do the maths. Rebekah is drawing three hundred gallons of water for a stranger. She does all that could be reasonably expected of her—and then some. This was a pivotal moment in her life. Because of her act of service, Rebekah became the wife of Isaac and went on to the adventure of a lifetime, becoming part of sacred history. To this day, her name is remembered and revered by people of faith. Rebekah did not know all that was at stake that day. She did not offer to draw three hundred gallons of water because she knew what the reward could be. It was simply an expression of her heart. Rebekah proved the truth of Scripture: ‘Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper’ (Proverbs 13:4 NLT). Where did we get the idea that it is wrong to give, expecting a return, or serve, expecting a reward? Certainly not from the Bible! Some of our rewards will come in this lifetime, others in the next one. But, ‘You know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does’ (Ephesians 6:8 NIV). Bible In A Year:1 Kings 10-11, Mark 8:27-38, Ps 45, Pro 12:7-9.

TO REACH OUR GOAL "But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14 Two important elements are needed to be able to achieve great things for God: to have a goal and to live in pursuit of it! As the body of Christ (the Church) we must have a set goal in mind. It is important to hold on to the vision of God's goals. This will give us a strong desire to live in pursuit of victory. Both collectively as the church and individually for each member, it is crucial to be aware of God's presence through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In addition, saving the sinners through the message of the Lord Jesus Christ is the mission for every believer. At the same time, we have to educate those we lead to Jesus in the Word of God so they will become spiritually mature. The Johan Maasbach World Mission Foundation has the sacred calling to save souls from eternal damnation. Our mission, given to us by God, is to shine our light in this dark world. To achieve this goal, we must grow in: A) the anointing of God's Spirit; B) the number of workers; C) partners and friends who support the work financially. To grow is of great relevance in order to achieve the purpose of God in our lives. The key to grow and augment is: the Lord will provide! That God may manifest Himself through us as Jehovah Jireh. Jehovah Jireh will not only provide for our needs, but also for your needs. https://www.theblessingdevotional.com 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up. ⏤ Psalm 5:3 The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer. ⏤ F.B. Meyer O God, we come to You with nothing but our needs and a meager return of gratitude from our flawed hearts. But we are glad to know that You welcome us even with our needs and sins. Reveal Your love to us so clearly that it kindles our love for You, teaching us to love You more. This morning calls us to praise and thanksgiving. We’ve slept and awakened, preserved and refreshed by Your care. Our lives have been renewed through sleep, and now the sun shines on us again, bringing us joy. Give us a Father’s morning blessing as we step into the duties of this new day. Purify our hearts so that our thoughts and feelings may be pure. Grant us diligence, honesty, truthfulness, and a spirit of service so that we may carry out our tasks in a way that honors Your name. May we learn more and more how to walk with Jesus in the ordinary days, the week-days, so that they too may be brightened by Your grace. Preserve us from foolishness, idle words, and anything that would profane our lives or damage the impression we leave on others. May our daily walk be a living gospel. May we be a blessing to everyone we meet. Keep us from discouraging others. Help us to live in such a way that everyone who knows us will find it easier to be true, holy, and happy. Grant us now a Father’s morning blessing. Then we will be stronger throughout the day, safe amid temptation, and able to live sweetly and for You, through Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/46/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2ND, 2025 TOPIC: YOU MUST HATE AVERAGE AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE MEMORISE: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” Philippians 3:13 READ: DEUTERONOMY 28:8-13 (KJV) 8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: MESSAGE: If you hate something, you will do everything to avoid it. When I was in secondary school, I and two of my friends were the best in mathematics. However, even though we scored above 90%, our mathematics teacher would always tell us that we didn't do well because we didn't score 100%. At last, one day, we scored 100%, and we said, "Let's go and see him to hear what he will say now." We got to him, rejoicing, but our joy was cut short when he said, "Your mates are in the university, solving advanced maths, and you are rejoicing over 100% in elementary maths." His comment made me hate anything less than the absolute best. This is why I get disturbed when I see people celebrating mediocrity. Years ago, when secondary school results in Nigeria were presented as Grade 1, 2, 3, and Pass, the principal of a particular college in Lagos was rejoicing because, for the first time in the school's history, one of the students got a Grade 3 result. However, another college principal wept because, for the first time, a student went as low as having a Grade 3 result. As seen in today's Bible reading, God's will for His children is that they will be above ONLY. Hence, no Christian should ever settle for average. If you think you've attained your greatest height, you must know that it is someone else' starting point. In Ezekiel 47:1-12, God showed Ezekiel a man with a measuring line in his hand, and for every thousand cubits he measured, the water level rose. It started from the ankle to the knee and then to the waist before it became a mighty river. Some people reach the ankle level of success and think they have arrived; they don't understand that there are greater levels of success waiting ahead of them. In (2 Kings 2:1-15), while the sons of the prophets were content with being average, Elisha pressed in for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. The sons of the prophet knew it was time for Elijah to be taken away, and they even knew the day it would happen. However, they were satisfied with having revelation without power. Elisha, on the other hand, didn't settle for average, and the Lord used him so mightily that we can never forget his name. People who settle for average never stand out. Beloved, make up your mind to be the absolute best that God has destined you to be. Don’t settle for average. KEY POINT: You are destined to be above ONLY. Never settle for average. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MATTHEW 1-4 HYMN: 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS 1 I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one marked an angry word That ever heard him speak. Refrain: I want to be like Jesus, God's well beloved Son; I want to be like Jesus, The pure and holy One. 2 I want to be like Jesus, So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain top, He met his Father there. [Refrain] 3 I want to be like Jesus, Engaged in doing good, So that of me it may be said, He hath done what he could. [Refrain] 4 Alas! I'm not like Jesus, As any one may see; Thy gentle Spirit, Savior, send, And make me like to thee. [Refrain]
