“And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.”
Acts 27:35-37 KJV
There was a typhoon and the ship on which Paul, as a prisoner, was being taken to Rome, tossed and floundered. For two weeks or more they were in this precarious condition, throwing wheat, foodstuff and cargo into the sea. They had been without food, when Paul was told by the angel of God that they will survive.Then Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them, broke it and began to eat. There were 276 people who ate until they were filled, and were strengthened and encouraged. Paul served communion on board the ship. This was an astounding miracle. After this, they were shipwrecked but near the land where they all swam to. All survived as Paul had said. God is sovereign and desires that believers who trust in Him, would release the God-faith that has been placed in us, through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Let’s release miracles in this weary world, so people in darkness would see that God is Light. Hallelujah!
