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.

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

In the world(unsaved) system, we work harder…and harder…and still fall behind. If we do find a way to get ahead, we pay a high price for it by sacrificing time in God’s WORD, our family relationships or our health. While the figures in our bankbooks tell us we’re getting richer, in reality we’re becoming poorer. That’s the way the world’s economic system works. One way or another, there’s always sorrow with it because it’s under the curse.  As believers, however, we are no longer under that curse! Jesus has redeemed us from it. We don’t have to earn a living with our sweat and toil. THE BLESSING makes us rich. Unlike the world, we aren’t BLESSED because we’re rich, we are rich because we’re BLESSED!. (kcm)#prosperityreality

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....
