You've read the account in Matthew 14:15-21 concerning the feeding of the 5,000 and again in Matthew 15:32-38 of the feeding of the 4,000. God sets many events as a pattern for us to follow concerning multiplication. "JESUS took the loaves and fishes and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left 12 baskets or 7 baskets full."
My husband and I decided that we would follow this example concerning our income from any source. For every check or statement, we hold it in our hands and lift it up to the Lord, GIVE THANKS and ask JESUS to break it and then we take the money and distribute it to bills or savings, etc. Does it go farther? Yes, but that's not the point! Being thankful is more important than anything else. You will be acknowledging that God is your source and that He is caring for you. We have seen checks in from unusual sources. Experience the blessings that God has waiting for you. He's not obligated, but it's a special way to give Him honor in your life.
