(Second part)
Memory verse: (2kings 4:1-2): “ A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves. So Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil ".
This woman had great problem in her house as well as solution. She did not know there was a connection between what she had and her need. What she had was so small that she ignored it. Never despise what you have. Jesus taught that a mustard seed is a tiny seed but it produces a great tree. What you have has capacity to produce a great future for you. The man of God instructed this widow to do something with her little oil (her little seed). When she obeyed the man of God, what was like a small bottle of oil became a river that filled jerry cans after jerry cans until there were no more vessels to be filled then it stopped flowing. When you cry to God about your need God looks at your seed.
Another widow of Zarephath had a need of survival because of the famine in Israel; God sent his servant to help this widow. She had just a meal away from death, the man of God asked her to give him that meal. She said she had nothing but just a little floor for only one meal. She obeyed and gave the man of God and God’s word came to her, that she would not lack floor and oil until the famine is over. When what you have is not enough to meet your need then it is not bread for eating it is a seed for sowing. So many people consume away their future just because of lack of knowledge of this law. Paul said, it’s more blessed to give than to receive. There’s no one whom God has not given something to create his or her future. There are no poor people but only people who think they are poor. Proverbs say “ as a man thinks in his heart so he is ” (Pro23:7).
My brother or sister, I have good news for you: God has put something in your life that will unlock your destiny. There is some thing in your house that will solve the problem in your house. You just need to locate the men of God, with the anointing and the living word of God who will cause what is you to manifest. When you go to the right place and be with the right people you’ll locate the seeds God had put in your life.
Tomorrow’s word: ‘Harvests are a product of seeds sown’
