The Entrepreneur’s Devotional:13 Days to Kingdom Impact預覽

Embrace God’s Math

In the realm of Kingdom Business, we often encounter situations that seem impossible to navigate with the resources at hand. But here’s the powerful truth: God’s math works differently. In His economy, 90% blessed by God is greater than 100% in our own hands.

This principle is beautifully illustrated in the story of the feeding of the 5,000. In John 6:9-13, we see a young boy who offers his five barley loaves and two small fish—a small and seemingly insignificant lunch. When Jesus blesses it, this meager offering becomes more than enough to feed a crowd of over 5,000 men, not including women and children. Not only were all fed, but there were 12 baskets of leftovers, signifying abundance and the overflow that comes from God’s provision.

God Math: When what seems inadequate in the natural realm is placed in God’s hands, it multiplies. The small becomes great. The little becomes plenty. What wasn't enough becomes more than enough.

As Kingdom leaders, our businesses may feel small or under-resourced at times. We may face financial pressures, lack of manpower, or limited time. But what happens when we place what we have in the hands of Jesus? When we trust Him with our resources—whether that’s time, talent, or treasure—He is faithful to multiply it in ways beyond our understanding.

Reflect on this: Just as the boy’s lunch fed thousands, God can take the 90% you’ve entrusted to Him, and He can make it more than enough. It may not make sense according to human logic, but in the Kingdom of God, the laws of multiplication work according to divine principles. And, as with the leftovers in the story, the impact of what God does through you can extend far beyond your expectations. Your faithfulness in giving and trusting Him can create a ripple effect that impacts generations to come.

"Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, He said to His disciples, ‘Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.’ So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten." John 6:11-13 (NIV)

Kingdom Business Truth: When we trust God with what we have, even if it seems too small, He has the power to multiply it in ways that transcend our comprehension. Your small offering, your faithfulness, and your obedience can create a legacy of abundance that continues to bless others—far beyond what you can see today.

Today’s Challenge: Look at what you have—whether it’s your time, resources, ideas, or business opportunities—and place it in God’s hands. Believe that He will bless it, multiply it, and use it for His Kingdom in ways that will exceed all expectations.
