Memory Verse:2 Kings 4:7. She went and told the story to the man of God. He said, “Go sell the oil and make good on your debts. Live, both you and your sons, on what’s left.”
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 4:1-3 MSG. Key Verse:v2.
One day the wife of a man from the guild of prophets called out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead. You well know what a good man he was, devoted to God. And now the man to whom he was in debt is on his way to collect by taking my two children as slaves.” Elisha said, “I wonder how I can be of help. Tell me, what do you have in yourhouse?””Nothing,” she said. “Well, I do have a little oil.” “Here’s what you do,” said Elisha. “Go up and down the street and borrow jugs and bowls from all your neighbors. And not just a few—all you can get.
There’s something about our God that is always amazing. He will will always be faithful in the lives of those who serve him. This particular Prophet was no more and his creditor were after his wife and children. This creditor was out to either get his money or enforce a second option of enslaving the sons of the late Prophet. That would have been a double tragedy to the woman as a person; to loose the sons after suffering the loss of her husband. In her confussion, she ran tp the man of God for help. `I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalms 121:1-4 KJV.
Now, she was making every possible efforts to come out of debit and save her children from becoming slaves. God did answer her and went a step ahead to give her something to live on with her sons.”She did what he said. She locked the door behind her and her sons; as they brought the containers to her, she filled them. When all the jugs and bowls were full, she said to one of her sons, “Another jug, please.”He said, “That’s it. There are no more jugs.”Then the oil stopped. She went and told the story to the man of God. He said, “Go sell the oil and make good on your debts. Live, both you and your sons, on what’s left.” 2 Kings 4:5-7.
One of the lessons here is that God works for us when we take the right steps. She didn’t feel God had failed her no matter the situation, but still went to seek divine intervention by seeing man of God. We need to learn that God needed a contact point to release the blessing (what she had in her hand). Another lesson here is that at every stage in this particular miracle, the woman was sent to go and work (from borrowing to pouring, from pouring, she was asked to go and sell). “Here’s what you do,” said Elisha. “Go up and down the street and borrow jugs and bowls from all your neighbors. And not just a few—all you can get. Then come home and lock the door behind you, you and your sons. Pour oil into each container; when each is full, set it aside.” 2 Kings 4:3-4.
Prayer : Thank you Father God because you are the God of all possibilities. Thank you because you always care about me. Today I lay every heavy burden am carrying at your feet. Intervene and do what no man can do in my life in Jesus’s precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading: Acts 18:1-20.
