For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.

Isaiah 54:3

Our heavenly Father has no problems in providing for our needs. He knows how to create out of nothing whatever is necessary for us and none of His plans can be thwarted. Furthermore, when He operates He always uses His miraculous capacity.

The Most High has come to you and chosen you because He wants to accomplish Himself through you. So do not let the devil convince you that you are insignificant and will not succeed; after all, by having the Lord as your God and being obedient, you will get to obtain all that He reveals to you.

The divine capacity cannot be measured. Actually, man will never find a unit of measure that can fathom how great the Lord our God is – that\’s because what He can do and what He does is beyond human reasoning. Thus, even if it was possible to gather the ability of all wise men of all ages in order for us to measure the greatness our Father, we would not come to any results.

The Almighty declares and therefore is responsible for the word according to which you shall expand to the right and to the left. Behold, the Lord is operating! During His earthly ministry, Christ showed us on several occasions that God is almighty. For example, in two episodes in which there was the multiplication of loaves and fishes (Matthew 14:13-21; 15.32-39), the Master did not ask the people to eat with moderation to avoid running out of food. The first time that miracle occurred there were five thousand men – besides women and children – who had not eaten in three days! But they were able to eat until they were satisfied. Finally, 12 baskets full of leftovers of bread and fish still remained. Even if the number of people to be fed were a million times bigger, the miracle would have happened just the same.

The Bible says that whoever wants to believe will expand to the right and to the left. That is what God intends to do for those who put their trust in Him. The responsibility is yours. If you believe in the Almighty and claim His promises, you will give a good testimony because many will see that it is worth believing in the Lord. On the other hand, if you let yourself be carried away by the devil’s lies, it will also serve as an example to many, but as an example not be followed.

Put into practice all the inspiration that the Lord gives to you and whenever you need more, you will see that He has already provided it, even more than asked. We are the descendants of the Lord; we – the Church of Christ – have the Bread that is more than enough to feed the entire Earth!

In Christ with love,
