Multiply your Seeds

“They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.” Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened? Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.” “When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.” He asked them, “Don’t you understand, yet?”” (Mark‬ ‭8:16-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Are you reasoning in your heart, “Oh it’s because I don’t have that, that is why my life is doomed for failure.”

When Jesus multiplied the bread and fishes, He used less food to feed more people.

For the five thousand men, He started with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. After the multiplication, there were 12 baskets full of leftovers.

For the four thousand men, Jesus started with 7 loaves and a few small fishes. After the miracle, there were only 7 baskets full of leftovers.

So since the disciples did not bring any bread with them, based on the pattern, Jesus would be able to miraculously form much more bread than in the previous two miracles, if there was a need!

Your lack is not a problem for God. In fact, the weaker you are in the natural, the more perfectly God’s grace will be demonstrated in that very area.

What is it that you need? Is it finances? Perhaps you feel like you are starting with only 1 loaf and 1 fish. Great—you qualify for great grace! Sow what the Holy Spirit puts in your heart and thank God for supplying all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

He will take that little and begin multiplying it into much. Don’t forget, the little boy had to hand over his lunch before he could see the multiplication miracle. Who has the biggest right to bring home the 12 baskets full of leftovers? The little boy of course!

This is the part where many Christians fail. Once they have to offer something, especially money, they start to justify why it is not needed anymore, and they convince themselves that the church is just trying to rip them off.

The same ones are okay with spending frivolously on entertainment and enjoyment, but seal up their pockets when it comes to giving as unto the Lord.

This is due to lack of understanding about the principle of sowing and reaping. This is the way that God has ordained for seed to be multiplied to the sower.

There is nothing better you can do than to sow into God’s kingdom. Sponsor the Gospel of Jesus Christ and feed the widows and orphans, especially from the same household of faith. Act on this word in faith, and see what happens!

The 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in the four gospels show us God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. As you explore them in “Messiah’s Miracles”, faith will arise in your heart to receive miraculous breakthroughs in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

#Congratulations! Director Hsin-Chien Huang's latest VR works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach, were nominated for the 78th Venice International Film Festival!

The 78th Venice International Film Festival (VIFF) announced the shortlisted nominees for the category of VR Film. Taiwanese new media artist, Distinguished Professor of NTNU, Hsin-Chien Huang, winner of the BEST VR Experience in 2017 with his work La Camera Insabbiata, will again contest for the Leone d’oro this year with two of his latest, sci-fi inspired works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach. While the Taiwanese athletes are striving for the Gold Medals at the Tokyo Olympics as we speak, director Hsin-Chien Huang dazzles the jury of VIFF with his visually-stunning and thought-provoking works — bringing cutting-edge Taiwanese VR films onto the international stage and letting world-wide audience sees Taiwan!

Before being selected for the 78th Venice International Film Festival, Samsara episode 1. has already grabbed the Jury Award at SXSW and Best VR Story at the Cannes XR Competition. This futuristic VR experience teleports the audience onto a journey that spans millions of years. Samsara is a Sanskrit word meaning “ the world ”. In Buddhism, it means what we perceive as the world is actually an endless cycle of karma (cause and effect), a cycle of life, death and rebirth in the six realms of existence. In this fascinating VR work, the audience is reincarnated into the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing the universe in their new bodies and in search for the ultimate spiritual transcendence.

Samsara depicts an apocalyptical story in the near future where human greed has depleted the earth’s resource. Catastrophic wars to fight for resource resulted in global destruction. Finally, the remaining humans had to leave the Earth and go on a search in space for a new place to live.

Nevertheless, their desperate, long quest for a new homeland… could it be just a loop in space and time? The cycle of greedy domination and total destruction that then necessitates the search for a new home…. may have hopelessly repeated itself over and over again? The constant evolutionary process and so-called progress, without transformation in consciousness and spiritual advancement, is nothing more than a Möbius strip that leads nowhere, perhaps…?

Samsara is an experiment based on the theory of Embodied Cognition. Through interactivity and VR, the audience gets to live inside the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing their feelings from within. Perhaps It is when we can perceive the world in different bodies that we may truly appreciate the thoughts of others and empathize with them. An experience that will also help us better comprehend our own existence and learn to live in harmony with all.

Samsara explores a complex of deeply interconnected issues of ecology, technology, natural resource and war, etc. It's a story about a journey humans are forced to take on, after having destroyed the earth with nuclear disasters. The survivors seek a new planet, in the boundless, interstellar space, to carry on their lives. Gradually they evolve into a new life form artificially. Yet, many years passed and they’ve come to realize that they would never make it to the new planet they’ve been dreaming of. In fact, they have simply been returning to the Earth, in different life forms, time after time.

Director Huang applies the concepts of embodied cognition, offering a unique way to contemplate about the nature of life. As the audience are transported into different bodies each time, they gain a brand new perspective to experience the world views presented in Samsara.

Samsara was produced under the guidance of Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and Kaohsiung Film Archive VR(VR FILM LAB), it’s a sate-of-the-art VR production made 100% in Taiwan. In the VR experience, viewers are transformed into various kinds of animals to interact with the scenes, including species unique and indigenous to Taiwan, such as Taiwan Blue Magpie and Formosan Black Bear.

Samsara Ep.1 features the latest somatosensory technology, including 4D views shooting techniques by the Industrial Technology Research Institute and TAICCA. A digital shooting system comprised of a high-sensitivity 4 million-pixel, full-color CCD sensor and 48 4DV-EX-Z cameras made it possible for Samsara Ep.1 to be taken from an omnidirectional view and shot without any blind spots, creating the ultimate immersive experience.

THE STARRY SAND BEACH, directed by Hsin-Chien Huang and produced in cooperation with Lucid Reality (France) and Oready 瑞意創科 Oready Innovation Lab (Taiwan), is a scientific fairy tale about a unique ecological wonder in Taiwan and Japan, the shiny starry sand beaches. Foraminifera, from the Latin word “foramen” meaning hole, is a single-celled organism that builds a shell with multiple chambers which intercommunicate with one another through holes. On the Qimei Island, Taiwan and the Yaeyama Islands, Japan, beaches have been formed by a specific species of foraminifera with star-shaped shells made of calcium carbonate. Like the real stars in the legends, grains of the starry sand have also been preserving the earth’s memories for millions of years.

THE STARRY SAND BEACH is a real-time 3D interactive VR adventure into the natural and mythological landscape of the starry sand beaches on Qimei Island in Penghu Archipelago, Xing Sha Wan in Kenting National Park and Taketomi Island in the far south of Japan. The experience is full of aesthetically-amazing elements and enriched with cultural and religious significance like Shintoism in Japan. A beautiful, haunting legend tells the story of the starry sand…

The final winners will be presented at the award ceremony held on Sep11. With great anticipation and hopes, Hsin-Chien Huang is expected to bring home again the grand prize for Taiwan!

“There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.” (Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭WEB‬)

I have learnt to always give lots of space for the Holy Spirit to move as He prompts me.

For example, I may receive a word for a sermon that I’m preparing, and I’ll prepare the best I can, but on the day itself, I must still listen out for the Holy Spirit’s promptings.

He may stop me in the middle and ask me to release words of knowledge, to prophesy, or to operate in the gift of healings.

If I insist on doing what I originally planned, I would miss out the great power of God that would have been demonstrated.

Even when you study the Bible, it’s okay to follow Bible plans, but don’t be rigid about it.
If the Holy Spirit gives you the desire to move away from the schedule and read another book of the Bible instead, following that prompting—He wants to minister to you and give you fresh revelation for your life.
Reading the Bible in a dry, ritualistic manner is not as edifying and invigorating as when the Spirit teaches you the word.

“When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them, and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.” (Acts‬ ‭27:9-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Sometimes we are used to doing things a certain way based on what education, experience, or other so-called experts have told us.
Being stubbornly set in our ways causes us to miss Spirit-led opportunities and warnings.

When the Holy Spirit leads you to do something different from what you’re used to, just obey.
He’s guiding you based on God’s perfect knowledge and wisdom.

For every area in life, learn to tune out of your automatic mental habits and tune into the still small voice of the Holy Spirit.

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.” (Romans‬ ‭8:14‬ ‭WEB)

You can’t rely on your talents and gifts, even if you’re the best among others at what you do.
Rely on the Holy Spirit who deposited those graces inside you in the first place—He knows how you can fulfill your greatest potential for God’s glory!

In my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”, I will show you how to identify and fulfill your God-given calling in life, and maximize your eternal rewards to have the best positions of honor in the Millennium and beyond!
