God is capable of multiplying the little into great abundance. Only if you can be like the little boy who walked pass the 5000 and came forward with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. See how many people were fed? This is what happened to Peter. When he placed himself in the hands of Jesus you can see the great thing that he had accomplished.
Peter was a fisherman. In Acts 4:13, he was unschooled and an ordinary man. He was the one who asked Jesus to explain to him about the parable. He was impulsive and quick in his words. One moment he told Jesus he was Christ, Son of the living God (Matt 16:16) and the next moment he was rebuked by Jesus – “get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” (Matt 16:23). He told Jesus, even if all fall away on account of you, I never will. He even said, even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you but he denied Jesus 3 times (Matt 26:75).
But when the Holy Spirit came during Pentecost (Acts 2:14), Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd. Under the power of the Holy Spirit, he quoted the Old Testament and he preached to the people. He talked about Jesus, His power, His death and His resurrection. He asked them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. The bible said in Acts 2:37, when the people heard this; they were cut to the heart. That day, three thousand were added to them.
Peter sat at the feet of Jesus. He received teachings from Jesus for 3½ years. After the return of Jesus, Peter performed many miracles. He wrote the book of Peter in the bible. He delivered powerful message that cut into the heart of the people and three thousand were added to them. He no longer remains the same as before!
Do not underestimate yourself thinking that you are useless, uneducated and limited. Walk pass the 5000, walk pass the realm of impossibility, walk pass the unbelief and doubt. Step out in faith! Let nothing deter you from achieving great exploit. You will see how God uses the 5 loaves and 2 fishes of your life to accomplish great thing, amen.

Indeed, many atimes we had never believed or even dare trust at our very own ability & talent that we’ll ever achieve great things. Perhaps we’ve gotten too used at watching & listening to how others succeed but never ever DREAMT that it could be ME! God did it with only 5 loaves & 2 fishes & theres no reason why He can’t with a simple me.
I guess the easiest way to prove & see it happen is to just walk up to God & say “This is all I’ve got, show me how you can use me for the impossibility”
Yes, this is what I am trying to express. We are too dragged down by impossibility, unbelief and doubt. That is why we do not dare to dream BIG. We need to walk pass all of them. And the important thing is to trade our 5 loaves and 2 fishes with God.
