Is there
nothing in the House?
(Continued from
Weekend Voice OF August 7th)
She
went and told the man of God, and he said, ‘Go,
sell the oil and repay your loan, and you and
your sons may live on the rest.” M’lachiym
Beit (2Kings) 4:1-7.
When the widow sought help from the man of Elohim,
his response surpassed all rational thought.
But even though ’Elisha’s instructions
made no apparent sense, the widow responded
with faith and obedience—and in the end,
she received an over-abundance of supply. How
willing are we to trust that God can perform
outside and above natural reason and logic?
In times of great need, will we trust that Yahweh
Elohim has the power to save—that He will
provide for our lack to the very last drop?
The widow had only one limitation in receiving
all that God desired to supply. As ’Elisha
instructed, the widow gathered together as many
containers as she could find—empty containers,
and not just a few!—and she poured out
into them. And the oil flowed, and flowed, and
flowed, and flowed. Finally, when all the containers
were full, “the oil stopped.” |

Did
the widow have just enough containers to hold
all that The Most High desired to supply, or
did He stop pouring out His blessing because
she had no more room to collect it?
What kind of containers do we have in our lives
today? With what are they filled? Has Elohim
started pouring out blessings upon you, only
to find that your many containers were already
filled with other things—and “then
the oil stopped”? Father Yahweh wants
us to empty ourselves completely, so that He
can fill us up with as much as we can hold.
He will not only give us enough, but more than
enough—and we will “live on the
rest.” Heavenly Father Yahweh, I’m
cleaning my house today—Your servant has
nothing in the house but a pot of oil. I am
getting rid of all the junk, clutter, and garbage
that is taking up space, and I’m making
room for You to fill me up—permanently!
Show me how to keep my heart and mind clear
of those things that are not of You, that I
will always have empty containers to receive
Your abundance. Pour out Your oil today, Father!
Thank You, my Master, for filling me up to overflowing.
