The Obedience of Faith: A Silent Sermon

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Gospel of Christ According to Your Life (Part 6)

My redeemed Bride, remember the boy who carried five loaves and two fish for lunch among five thousand hungry souls. He proclaimed no words recorded in Scripture, yet his quiet offering preached the greatest sermon on the obedience of faith. While the disciples calculated impossibility, this child humbly placed his lunch box into My hands. His silence spoke of trust beyond reason; his wholehearted surrender declared that nothing is too small for the Master’s purpose. Yes, his generosity pleased Me and exalted Me as the God of Wonders.

He did not announce his gift or boast of his sacrifice; he gave what little he had and watched Me multiply it beyond human imagination. Quietly, he proclaimed that I am Yeshua, Lechem HaChayyim, the Bread of Life, Who satisfies every hunger. His humble act of faith, blessed by Me, fed multitudes and filled twelve baskets with abundance.

The boy’s wordless worship whispered what the world still needs to hear: When placed in the Savior’s hands, the smallest offering becomes sufficient for the greatest need (John 6:5–13; Matthew 14:13–21). He unveiled Me as El Marbeh, the God Who exceedingly multiplies what is surrendered to Me, according to My perfect will (Genesis 17:2).

The Woman with the Issue of Blood: Silent Faith

Consider the woman who reached out and touched My garment, unwavering in faith, believing that I am her Healer. Her faith broke through every barrier, and her touch called forth the healing power of Heaven upon the earth (Mark 5:25–34).

Twelve years of suffering could not silence her belief. She said within herself, “If I can only touch His garment, I will be healed.” I called her “Daughter,” revealing how I receive all who reach out to Me, not merely for healing, but for union with their Healer; not for gifts, but for the heart of the Giver Himself. Blessed are those who come with holy desperation to receive Me first; for in Me flows the abundance of life eternal (Luke 8:48; John 6:37; 10:10; 17:3; Matthew 6:33).

Remember, you are saved by grace through faith in Me! This is the essence of the Gospel she preached without words. Her quietness declared: I am Yeshua Rapha, the God Who Heals (Isaiah 53:5).

The Power of Small Surrenders

My precious child, you look at your five loaves and two fish and think, “What difference can this make (John 6:9)?” But I am not asking for what you don’t have; I am asking for what, when, and how you first surrender your heart to Me with deep devotion (2 Corinthians 8:12; Proverbs 23:26; Deuteronomy 6:5; Joel 2:12–13). The boy’s lunch fed thousands because he placed it in My hands. The woman’s desperate touch released healing because she believed My power was enough (Mark 5:34).

This is the secret of Divine romance: I accept and bless your small and make it significant, your broken and make it beautiful, your nothing and multiply it into abundance (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Stop Doubting or Waiting, Start Surrendering

“Stop waiting until you have more to offer,” says the Lord, “for I do not measure worth by magnitude, but by surrender. Have I not said, ‘She, out of her poverty, gave all she had’ (Mark 12:44)? And did I not take five loaves and two fish and multiply them to feed multitudes (John 6:9–11)? Stop believing the lie that your gift is too insignificant.

For I delight in the small that is placed in My hands. Did I not declare, ‘Who dares despise the day of small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). Regarding offerings to God, it is written: ‘For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, not according to what he does not have (2 Corinthians 8:12).’

The widow’s mite, the boy’s bread, Moses’ stammer, David’s sling, each became mighty when yielded to Me. Therefore, bring to Me wholeheartedly your little alabaster box, and I will breathe upon it My greatness. For when your weakness is placed in My strength, the impossible becomes possible, and the ordinary, miraculous.

One day, to the faithful, I will say: Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many’(Matthew 25:23; 1 Corinthians 12:22; 2 Corinthians 12:9).

Hidden Acts, Heavenly Rewards

Beloved, when you give, let it not be to attract the gaze of men, but to please the eyes of your Father, Who sees in secret. Do not seek the applause of the crowd or the praise of the pious, for such honor fades like morning dew. Rather, let your giving be a whisper between your heart and Mine. Give quietly, without trumpet or display, for the worth of your deed is not measured by its noise, but by its motive (Matthew 6:1–4).

For I, the Lord, do not look at the outward appearance, but at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Every act born of love is noticed in Heaven, even when unseen on Earth. What is done in secret, I will reward in My light. Work not for Human approval, but as one serving Christ the Lord (Colossians 3:23–24). For I, Who see the hidden, will openly bless those who honor Me in humility (Proverbs 21:2; Colossians 3:23–24; 1 Samuel 16:7).

Your Little in My Hands

My beloved, bring Me your lunch box. Reach for Me through the multitude who do not offer their hearts to Me. With sincere faith, come and touch the hem of My garment. I am the God who specializes in converting small surrenders into impossible multiplications (Matthew 19:26). 

In My hands, your little becomes limitless. In My presence, your lack becomes overflow. Give Me what you have, beloved, to glorify Me, and watch Me feed multitudes through your obedience to the voice of My Spirit (John 6:11–13).

Prayer

My Master, I place my five loaves in Your nail-scarred hands, trusting You multiply what little I possess (John 6:9). Though my offering seems small and my faith feels fragile, teach me that nothing is insignificant when surrendered to You sincerely (Matthew 14:19). Let me reach through the crowd with desperate faith, knowing one touch of Your garment brings complete healing and eternal peace (Mark 5:28).

Reflection

The boy gave his lunch; the woman touched His hem, both discovered the secret of eternal romance: intimate surrender unlocks infinite power (Mark 5:34; John 6:11). My Bridegroom takes my nothing and makes it enough, my brokenness and makes it beautiful, my weakness and displays His strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). I am the beloved who comes with empty hands and leaves with overflowing baskets—this is grace, this is love, this is Him, Ben Elohim(John 6:12-13).
