TOPIC : THE INCONSEQUENTIAL TOOLS OF GOD 3: A Widow
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Corinthians 1:28-29
“28. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29. That no flesh should glory in his presence.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Kings 17:8-9.
“8. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
9. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
If there are people that are written-off, I feel widow is another category. We all know what widows and widowers go through in the hands of in-law after the death of their husband or wife. Widows and widowers are usually classified as those who need help. Job said,
“The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. Job 29:13”
Widows and widowers needs helpers they are not who one can depend on. But God told Elijah, “…: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.”
The least person you expected is whom God will use to sustain you. The widow’s last meal sustained Elijah and the widow’s family for months without begging. Be open minded to any vessel God has prepared to use for you, that widow or widower might be the connection, helper or lifter you’ve been waiting for. Don’t despise anyone, rather stretch a hand of help and open heart to them.
Good Day and God bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
