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.

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...
