  The Widow's Oil  
 
 

2 Kings 1:7-8
7 The king asked them, "What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?"
8 They replied, "He was a man with a garment of hair and with a leather belt around his waist." The king said, "That was Elijah the Tishbite."


When we go through the up’s and down’s of life, lets look into this scripture and evaluate our life. The servants gave the king a description of the prophet, he could understand that it is Elijah. How are we been described lately?

2 Kings 4:1-7
1 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the LORD. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves."
2 Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?" "Your servant has nothing there at all," she said, "except a little oil."
3 Elisha said, "Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few.
4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side."
5 She left him and afterward shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring.
6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another one." But he replied, "There is not a jar left." Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left."


This widow was open about her life and her struggles to the man of God and she followed what he told her to do. That made a great change in her life, a great victory. Do you do the same? Let us make a decision to be righteously open about what we go through, and be sincere in following the advices and instructions we receive. A humble and contrite heart brings forth God’s wonderful miracles in our life.

Let us look in to the great miracles God had done in our past and thank God for all that miracles. Let us keep our hearts humble and obedient so that we will be able to have a blessed life.

Prayer idea

Pray with your discipler. Have a good talk about your life.
