Provision Through Humility!

 They brought the jars to the widow and she kept pouring. 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.
2 Kings 4:5–6
Provision Through Humility
In 2 Kings 4, a poor widow had no money to pay her creditors who were coming to take her two sons as slaves. The prophet Elisha told her to borrow as many jars as she could from her neighbors and pour the little bit of oil she had into the jars. How did that make sense? But she took that first step of obedience, humbling herself before her neighbors, and never questioned the prophet’s word. Had she not kept pouring and pouring, she would have missed her miracle and lost her sons and livelihood.

Always do what God is asking you to do. The first steps of obedience may not bring change, but that doesn’t mean something is wrong. The good news is, you’re about to start pouring out what you have and suddenly the healing comes, suddenly you’re promoted, suddenly you meet the right person, suddenly you see the breakthrough. Don’t get discouraged. Don’t let pride get in the way and stop you. Keep walking in humility. Keep doing the right thing. You are close to your miracle.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the gifts and talents and resources that You have already given me. Thank You that You can take what seems like it’s not enough and make it flow into abundance. I believe that You are going to multiply what I have and show out in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...
