F4F | Osteen's Overflow

welcome to another edition of fighting for the faith my name is Chris Roseboro I am your servant in Jesus Christ this is the channel that compares what people are saying in the name of God to the Word of God so if you've ever heard that the reason why Jesus multiplied loaves and fishes in that feeding of the 5000 miracle out in the wilderness is in order to demonstrate because they were leftovers that God wants to create overflow in your life I'm not making that up go ahead and hit the subscribe button down below don't forget to like the video ring the bell you've been taught false doctrine case in point let's roll this up we're heading over to Lakewood as we listen to Joel Osteen and his message titled get ready for overflow and this is just abysmal the reason why it's abysmal is on several different levels but I'll give you just a little bit of a setup here and that is is that he's going to be talking about the miracle of the feeding of the 5000 now aside from the resurrection of Jesus aside from the resurrection of Jesus the feeding of the 5,000 is the only other miracle that appears in all four Gospels and it's a biggie it's a vital one and the best way I can say it is in in this segment of fighting for the faith we're not going to be able to do it justice so that being the case what we're gonna do here in the podcast version of this episode is we're going to play after this after the segment we're gonna play a sermon that I delivered a while back titled two food miracles two different outcomes two food miracles two different outcomes for those of you watching on youtube there will be a link down below so that you can listen to this sermon because I I'm not gonna be able to do it justice in in this account you know in this in this segment of fighting for the faith on the on the YouTube channel so that being the case I I want you to go and listen to that for kind of a fuller thing because there's there's so much going on here but the reason there's a reason why this this miracle shows up in all four Gospels and that is is that this is the quintessential miracle that shows that Jesus is the Messiah and the Jews who were there when Jesus performed the miracles they their eyes lit up and they immediately thought this is this is the one this is the one that Moses told us about because kind of work out the themes biblically if you think about it you're out in the wilderness you're the children of Israel right so you've just been set free from slavery in Egypt you're in the wilderness you're hungry and you say to God why have you brought us out here to kill us what you we had meat pots for waiting for us when we were slaves and there's no food out here and God answers their grumbling it wasn't quite a prayer by giving them a miracle that would last them through their wilderness wanderings and that is that God provided for them daily bread mm-hmm in the in the form of manna which means what is it manna right and that miracle the feeding of the multitudes of Israel in the wilderness with miraculous bread is recreated by Christ in the feeding of the 5000 when he multiplies loaves and fishes and he's feeding Jews out in the wilderness similarly and it's like the the parallels between the two are so huge that that many of them begin to realize wait a second this is the is this the one that Moses told us about we'll show you that in the biblical text but Joel Osteen yeah he's a prosperity preacher he's a word of faith guy he believes and she got a decree and declare your you know things and speak them with your faith filled words and they'll create positive realities for you and so as a result of it he's utterly clueless that the feeding of the 5,000 is all about pointing us to Jesus he instead thinks it's pointing us to prosperity of some kind or another yeah it's it's the best way I can put it is it's a mess so all of that being said let's take a listen to Joel Osteen and get ready for overflow here here here we go I want to talk to you today about get ready for overflow God I want to talk to you about get ready for overflow ok we can do that you can get ready for some overflow here we go how's this for overflow yeah I know it's like turn think there we got some overflow right there it's yeah it's just great get ready for overflow I want to talk to you today about get ready for overflow I didn't create us to just get by in life to just have enough for what we need we're grateful for that but God is not a get by God he's an overflow God God is not a get by God he's an overflow God all right now I got to do a little bit of work here didn't prepare this but you know immediately a particular passage comes up and what I'm gonna do is I'm in accordance that's the that's the software that I use we oftentimes get people in the comments saying what software are using the name of it is accordance and there's a link down below in the description for every episode of fighting for the faith that we try to make the resources available so if you want to know what software I'm using you can look in the description it's called accordance Bible and you can find a link to get there and they're not a sponsor you know this is just as piece of software that I use all the time when I'm teaching so I'm gonna look for the word rich and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna change my range and what I want to do is I want to find the word rich and we're gonna define the range now we're gonna we're going to narrow it down so you can see how this works as a as a research tool and what we're gonna do is we're going to create a new search parameter and we're going to call it proverbs alright so you can see that if you if you want to your search down you cancel we're gonna define the range and again we're gonna type in proverbs here and I need to spell it correctly otherwise it's not gonna know what I'm talking about and I'm gonna hit update and so there we go I've created a new search parameter so we're gonna look for the word rich in the book of Proverbs I don't remember exactly where it is I know it's toward the end of proverbs but there's a passage I want you to see but I want you I wanted to highlight how the research tool works so we're look for the word rich and the range is going to be proverbs all right there we go so and by the way a proverb is an amatuer verb that lost its amateur status it's now a pro proverb yeah I write my own humor here and I know that my editor is groaning anyway so we I hit the Return button here and so the and I know I'm looking towards the end of this because I do this is okay because I know how that how that you know whoever hastens to be rich a faithful man will go will abound with blessings whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished hmm okay so so you get the idea here I was looking for a particular thing though neither rich nor poor so let me do another search and and so you look for the word steal I'm gonna look for ah here it is proverbs 30 ha all right so proverbs 30 I remembered the word it says sometimes you can remember a word in a verse but you don't remember where it is so now what we're gonna do we found it in Proverbs 31 minute 57 seconds later editor fix this do belly bomb in a tale all right so in proverbs chapter 30 there is a prayer that we are taught to pray as Christians and and consider what it says here his so two things I ask of you proverbs 30 verse 7 two things I ask of you God deny them not to me before I die remove far from me falsehood and lying give me neither poverty nor riches feed me with the food that is needful for me lest I be full and deny you and say Who is the Lord or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my god so you'll note this is in Contra distinction to what we just heard Joel Osteen say that God wants to show he's a God of overflow yet when Jesus teaches us to pray the Lord's Prayer when you pray say our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven listen to these words give us this day our daily bread okay and proverbs 30 teaches us too we should shoot for neither being rich nor poor that get but God that God would give us what is needful all right so you get the idea something's off in Joel Osteen's theology so it's something somes overflow in there but he's not overflowing in a correct understanding of the word of God let me back this up just a little bit so we're at 1:30 know what I'm gonna just back this up and let's hear again as he kind of tells us the importance of over keep the house of the Lord in order but thank you again honored to have you here today I want to talk to you today about get ready for overflow God didn't create us to just get by in life to just have enough for what we need we're grateful for that but God is not a get by God he's an overflow God yeah that's weird cuz Jesus teaches to pray for daily bread and what do we just read in Proverbs remove from any falsehood in line give me neither poverty nor riches feed me with the food that is needful for me huh lest I be full and deny you and say who is the Lord or unless I be poor and steal and profane the name of God huh that's weird cuz proverbs is saying the opposite of what he just said weird he wants you to have an abundance so you can be a blessing to others well you have so much joy you bring joy everywhere you go you have so many resources that you can help those around you all right so which text are we we exiting to prove this concept of overflow you may not have seen this yet but God is about to do a new thing what Wow great I'm expecting some shiftings and a breakthrough and thingies and stuff God's about to do a new thing are we getting some new wineskins while we're getting the new thing in touch of his favor we'll take you from having just enough to having more than enough you need to get ready overflow is coming no I don't want overflow overflows bad I don't want overflow to be coming that's terrible it's disgusting okay yes if you're going to overflow with creativity with ideas with talent where does it say I'm going to overflow with creativity do you have a biblical text with this promise it sounds like you're making promises for God that God never made is he bound to keep these promises that you're making for it overflow with good relationships with great people in your life overflow with influence promotion resources where you can come out of debt where you can lend and not have to borrow God's promised me riches here get an agreement with God father thank you that over yet get an agreement father thank you that overflows coming my way so that that's again this is a weird religion I don't know what this is why do I have to come an agreement with God regarding overflow flow is coming thank you that you are more than enough God in the scripture Jesus was out in the desert teaching the people it was late in the day they were all hungry yeah this is true now I'm gonna read the text first okay I made the claim that this is an important miracle aside from the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after he was crucified this is the only other miracle that appears in all four Gospels you know this is this is this is a biggie it's a huge one and so what we'll do is we'll take a look at the Gospel of John's accounts of this particular miracle and so we're in John chapter 6 and we'll note the theology in this chapter you know related to it by the way this is also the same day that Jesus walks on the water that you will see this in this miracle but John chapter 6 verse 1 says after this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee which is the sea of Tiberias and a large crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick Jesus went up on the mountain and there he sat down with his disciples now now the Passover the feast of the Jews was at hand so we know this is in the spring okay that so we get a little bit of the details so it's in the spring so lifting up his eyes then and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him Jesus said to Philip where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat now jesus said this to test him for he himself knew what he would do Philip answered him two hundred denarii I worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to eat to get a little so one of his disciples Andrew simon Peters brother said to him well there is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish but what are they for so many and he said have the people sit down now there was much grass in the place so notice it was green grass it's in the springtime they're out in a wilderness place pay attention all this kind of stuff these these are not throwaway details so the men sat down about five thousand in number Jesus then took the loaves and when he had given thanks he distributed them to those who were seated so also the fish as much as they wanted and when they had eaten their fill he told his disciples gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing may be lost so they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten when the people saw the sign that he had done they said this is indeed the Prophet who has come into the world the lights go on it's like oh this is the Messiah why because this is a recreation in Jesus's time of a miraculous a multitude of people out in the wilderness which is what God did for the children of Israel when they were in their wilderness wanderings between Egypt and the promised land so the you know and remember the manna miracle again my sermon on this will kind of clear all this up now so notice that this miracle is pointing to Jesus is the Messiah right so perceiving then that they were about to come and take Jesus by force to make him the king Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself and when the evening came his disciples went down to the sea got into a boat and started across the sea to Capernaum it was now dark and Jesus had not yet come to them the sea began became rough with a strong wind was it was blowing when they had rowed about three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat and they were frightened but he said it is I do not be afraid he actually says a go a me he says I am that's the name of God that God gave to Moses from the burning bush so I think the ESV does is a disservice here it would be better to translate it jesus said I am do not be afraid may Fobus that do not be afraid so they were glad to take him into the boat and immediately the boat was at the land at which they were going so on the next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples but that his disciples had gone away alone other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks and when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus and when they found him on the other side of the sea they said to him rabbi when did you come here and Jesus said to them amen amen truly truly I say to you you are seeking me not because you saw signs but because you had ate your fill of the loaves do not work for the food that perishes but for the food that endures to eternal life which the Son of Man will give you to will give to you for on him God the other has set his seal then they said to him what must we do to be doing the works of God and you'll know this is a plural that going to get the Greek up just a little bit higher here so we can work with it a little more side-by-side what must we be doing to do the works plural targa the works to the--or the works of God what must we do to be doing the works of God Jesus is an answer by the ways of brilliant he says this is the work taw aergon singular this is the work of God that you believe in him whom he has sent mm-hmm so you know I mean taken account like the Gospel of John and you can see the theological significance of the miracle is that they recognize that Jesus is the Messiah and then the question is what must we be doing to do the works of God in Jesus says listen the work of God singular is to believe in the one whom he has sent and to all who believe God gave the right to be children of God mm-hmm yeah or God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life or as John says at the end of his gospel these things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and that by believing you might have life in his name you see the sign was performed so that you would believe in Jesus and trust in him for the forgiveness of your sins eternal life given as a gift that those are the real promises that we have and in this life we are to pray and shoot for neither riches nor poverty daily bread is enough daily bread is enough so I think you get the point but let's come back to our text here so now knowing what the significance of it and by the way if you want F further like I said you want further in-depth teaching on this my sermon - food miracles two different outcomes is going to be quite helpful for you in that regard yeah in going far deeper into the connection between the Old Testament miracle of God giving manna and the feeding of the 5,000 but let's see what Joel Osteen does because Joel Osteen in his theology the center of his theology is your faith filled words that create reality and apparently the this miracle is all about overflow jesus told His disciples to feed them where they were in the middle of nowhere they said Jesus all we have are five loaves of bread and two fish gee-ya note he's not actually reading the text he's just giving us a summary of it Jesus told them to have the people sit in groups of fifty and a hundred yeah the disciples went out and counted the people put them in different groups yeah there were 5,000 men there plus the women and children Jesus prayed over the food and it multiplied as they serve the people the food kept coming when it was all over they had twelve baskets full of food leftover what's interesting is Jesus knew exactly how many people were there that day he did yeah he had the disciples take the time to count he could have stopped the food from multiplying as soon as everyone was fair but then again he could have ordered Domino's you know Jesus is God and nothing is impossible for him I mean he could have ordered Domino's pizza and then brought them from the 21st century and have them deliver it hot and fresh you know he could have done that too no this is not how you do it does not have you exegete a text after all God is precise he doesn't make mistakes God's precise he doesn't ease estate it's not like he miscalculated he accidentally made too much food on purpose God designed there to be overflow now granted there were leftovers and Jesus had him collected up so that they wouldn't be wasted but note where in the text does the theology he's spewing here actually get explained to us or as this being the significance of the overflow miracle the significance of this feeding of the 5,000 is not the overflow the significance is it showed who Jesus is it was written so that you would believe that Jesus is the Christ not that you would believe in overflow hmm he was showing us his nature he not only wants to meet your needs he's an overflow God a God of more than enough and see this this is I see Jesus no he didn't read the text he doesn't let the biblical authors tell us the importance or the significance of the miracle as it took place in real time and you'll note that nobody who experienced the miracle who was fed by Christ sat there and said you know you know what this means it means that God wants me to be rich no instead the miracle was performed and they said that's the Messiah uh-huh yeah isn't it weird that none of the people who experienced the miracle thought the significance of the miracle was anything that what Joel Osteen is saying when he laid out the plan for your life he calculated exactly what you would need he knows what it's going to take to get you to your destiny then on purpose he added extra when you're new so so now we're spring boarding right yeah so big so God apparently knew exactly what I need and then he decided he was gonna add extra you know why well because Seward's leftovers with the feeding of the 5,000 this is not how you do biblical exegesis this is nonsense needs were met he said in effect let me keep multiplying let me give them more than enough he's already designed overflow for you yeah he's designed all kinds of overflow for me and I could really do without that overflow it's always pesky and problematic when that overflow shows up it's just such a mess in fact I would argue that the sermon that we're hearing is a lot like the videos we're looking at on screen right now it's just a well we got sewage coming out of the wrong places is the best way I can put it yeah what a mess think you get the point yeah the feeding of the 5,000 has nothing to do with God wanting to create overflow in your life it's all about pointing to Jesus the one God sent so that by believing in him that you may have eternal life rather than perish as a free gift talk about the the real overflow that were promised new heavens new earth life eternal in the presence of God in eternity all given as a gift because Christ has come and bled and died for your sins and for mine he's calling us to repent of our sin and wickedness and trust and believe in him so that we can be forgiven given a right standing before God and and in this life it is sufficient to pray as Christ has taught us to pray for daily bread I hope you found that helpful if so all the information on how you can share the video is down below in the description share it on your social media let other people know about it warn them about the false teacher that Joel Osteen is and I got to remind you that you know we we don't work in overflow here at fighting for the faith and pirate
