Escape shame

To wade off her late husband creditors; who were coming to take her sons. She sought audience with the prophet Elisha. Upon enquiry, he got to know she had a little oil. He instructed her to borrow empty vessels, lock up and pour the oil into them.

The instruction she was given specifically says..., do not borrow a few. We were not told how many pots she borrowed, but we know she will either regret borrowing a few or fulfilled for borrowing much. This is a blank cheque

Miraculously, the pots got filled as she poured into them. Narrowly she escaped a life of sorrow; her sons were to be taken as slaves. She also cease to be called the poor widow as her journey into prosperity begins.

It seems Elisha knows God in a way any seeking for divine abundance should. The Lord is available to help overcome anything that could cause shame. This knowledge inspires faith which produces result.

As you believe God for your breakthrough, build up your faith to believing the Lord for not a few. Learn from the story of this widow whose nightmare disappeared at the Lords intervention.

Take also her step in seeking for solution from the right place. A word from the Lord will be your own blank cheque. God is no magician but a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently.

Don't go looking for a prophet, be led by the Holy spirit. Pay the price of fellowshipping with the Lord and get from Him your own specific instruction. This task you must commit to in getting your desires actualised.

Read her story 2 Kings 4:1-6

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4
