EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) February 6, 2026 PUT IT IN JESUS’ HANDS REV. AROME E. TOKULA Luke 9:16 (MSG) - He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, BLESSED, broke, and gave the bread and fish to the disciples to hand out to the crowd. Like Jesus, resources can multiply in your hands. The Bible says that Jesus lifted that little boy’s lunch of five loaves and two fish to heaven in prayer and ‘blessed’ it! The word “bless” means to “give thanks.” Be thankful to God for what He has given you because you can’t complain or murmur your way up! Thank Him for that job that you have. If you are a volunteer in an establishment, be grateful to Him that you have an opportunity to volunteer and contribute to that establishment. It is no different when we give our offerings and sow our seeds. Be thankful! See the anointing of God coming upon it to multiply it. When you spend quality time in prayer daily looking at the sacrifice of Jesus and lifting whatever you have – it could be a business, career, a project, a seed – to God, the supernatural power and ability of God will come upon it to multiply it. It will amaze you what God will do with what you yield to Him. Alvin Slaughter sang, “What’s that you have in your hands, I can use it if you’re willing to lose it.” The beauty of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is that whatever we have comes from Him. 1 Corinthians 4:7 (MSG) says, “… Isn't EVERYTHING YOU HAVE and EVERYTHING YOU ARE SHEER GIFTS from God?” Our callings, abilities, talents, and even material things are all ‘sheer gifts’ from God. They are nothing that we worked for! These things that have been given to you can increase and become a major blessing to many if you learn to put them in God’s hands. Whatever God gives you remains yours until you willingly lift it to Him. God lays no forceful claim on anything He gives you unless you yield it to Him. Peter told Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:4 (MSG), “… Before you sold it, it was all yours, and after you sold it, THE MONEY WAS yours TO DO WITH AS YOU WISHED.” Peter wanted them to know that they didn’t have to lie because the land and the proceeds were theirs even though everything comes from God! It’s your volition what to do with what God gives you. What we often overlook in the miraculous multiplication of the bread and fish is the willingness of the ‘little’ boy to yield his 5 loaves and 2 fish into the hands of Jesus! (John 6:9). He took what He had and placed them in Jesus’ hands and after his lunch fed five thousand men besides women and children, the bible says there were twelve leftover baskets of whole bread and fish that weren’t touched (Luke 9:17). Who do you think got the twelve baskets? The boy of course! His lunch wasn’t little anymore! Nothing that you yield to God by putting in Jesus’ hands ever remains small. DECLARE I am grateful for every opportunity you have given me in life. I refuse to complain and murmur. In faith and thanksgiving, I put my five loaves and two fish in Jesus’ hands and I rejoice. Thank You, Father, for increase because little always becomes much when it is in your Hands. PONDER Be thankful to God for what He has given you because you can’t complain or murmur your way up! #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #February #LivingHope #2026_RevelationAndUprise
