A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and the thought that our perspective as the leaders, and our posture of expectations determines whether we see opportunity or failure in our lives.
It is possible to be rowing in the sea of opportunity and abundance but all we may see are problems and issues.
This is a matter of perspective!
We serve the God of more than enough: whether ideas, insights, revelation, favor, grace or impact.
We serve the god who said that All things are possible.
The Bible encourages us to:
“Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in.”
Psalms 24:7 AMP
And to say:
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.”
Psalms 51:10 AMP
Selah
As we renew our mind in the word, the Word will help us “to see and to not despise” what may feel like small beginnings.
“Then Elisha prayed and said, “Lord, please, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servants eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.”
2 Kings 6:17 AMP
“For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.”
Zechariah 4:10 KJV
Amen
In the scripture example, we see where Christ blessed the seed of the lad and it created a harvest of overflow but to the natural eyes, they just saw “crumbs”; however, to those walking by faith, it was a harvest of abundant overflow.
Fragments are our overflow if we have the eyes to recognize them, receive or collect them, and enjoy them!

God in His infinite and sovereign wisdom can use any situation to meet our needs and to bless us. His methods may seem foolish to man and it may confound the wise; nevertheless, He is not constrained and can use as few or many ways to accomplish his will:
Scripture says it this way:
“But God has selected [for His purpose] the foolish things of the world to shame the wise [revealing their ignorance], and God has selected [for His purpose] the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong [revealing their frailty].
God has selected [for His purpose] the insignificant (base) things of the world, and the things that are despised and treated with contempt, [even] the things that are nothing, so that He might reduce to nothing the things that are,”
1 Corinthians 1:27-28 AMP
“And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.”
1 Samuel 14:6 KJV
Selah
In conclusion, we must continue to trust and keep our eyes on God for:
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
Matthew 5:8 KJV
“For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.”
2 Peter 1:3 AMP
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
Philippians 4:8-9 KJV
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live,
you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding closely to Him; for He is your life [your good life, your abundant life, your fulfillment] and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord promised (swore) to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.””
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 AMP
Amen
The harvest may not come the way we expect but it does not negate the fact that it is our harvest!
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Then Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to those who were seated; the same also with the fish, as much as they wanted.
When they had eaten enough, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.”
So they gathered them up, and they filled twelve large baskets with pieces from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
When the people saw the sign (attesting miracle) that He had done, they began saying, “This is without a doubt the promised Prophet who is to come into the world!” [Deut 18:15, 18; John 1:21; Acts 3:22]”
John 6:11-14 AMP
