CHRIST’S EPISTLE
ELISHA’S INSTRUCTION THAT BROKE POVERTY
In Christ, we live, move, and have our being.
Welcome to the month of April, The power of God will cause a necessary change ordained for your life.
II Kings 4:1-7; 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.” Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.” So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” NKJV
This is the case of a widow of a man of God. The late husband served prophet Elisha.
The late husband left debts for the family, and the creditors were demanding the widow to pay back the money, but she didn’t have it.
The creditors threatened to make her sons slaves to pay for the debts of their father, so she ran to prophet Elisha.
Prophet Elisha asked her if she had anything at all; she was looking outside for help, but the prophet was turning her attention back to herself.
Many times, we look outside of ourselves for our desired solutions when what we need is in and with us.
There must be something I have that I am blind to. Therefore, oh Lord, open my eyes to what I have that I am not seeing.
Let us Pray: Father, thank you for your Word, open my eyes to what I have that can solve my challenges in Jesus Name, Amen.
