Little To Multiplication

Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
- 1 Kings 17:9.

Notice God didn't send him (Elijah) to the wealthiest and well to do, NO!
If you read from 1Kings 17:9-24. You will discover the land was experiencing famine, there were no food and this woman(widow) was gathering all she can find to prepare the last meal for herself and her son to eat and then die...
She said it with her own words!
Here is a man of God, sent by God to this woman, saying to her; " ....Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son." 1 Kings 17:13.
What do you mean? Practically, What is left will not be enough for her and her son; and here is prophet saying "make for me first". I mean naturally if she did, nothing will be left, but she obeyed. Knowing he is a prophet sent by God.
We must understand, Elijah went to the widow's place because he was sent by God. If he had refused because she was poor, he would have been in trouble. If, she on the other hand, had refused to attend to the prophet Elijah, because of her limited resources, she would have been in trouble as well.
Elijah was sent by God to sustain her household, but she have to make available what she has, for multiplication. Each time we want increase, God will always ask us, what do you have? There must be something to work with: see also 2 Kings 4:2 and Matt.14:17-18.
By obeying God they had abundant supply all through the famine, that lasted over three years.
We must be spiritually sensitive to the instruction of the Holy Spirit in these last days.
I pray that your spiritual hears be opened in Jesus mighty name!
When God ask you to do something, whatever you have in you is enough to start with, don't delay.
Also, notice from the Bible passage, that the son of the widow eventually died, but thank God an agent of rescue was around to restore what the enemy was trying to steal.

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....
