TOPIC : SENSITIVITY IN FAMINE 2: Sow to Others Life.
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Kings 17:2.
“2. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,”
BIBLE READING:
1 Kings 17:11-12, 15.
“11. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
15. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.”
The Lord shall supply all our needs regardless of the situation of our various country in Jesus Name, Amen.
When famine becomes the course of the day, what to listen to is God’s instructions. What is God saying at this moment? What’s the way He’s leading you through? In famine, after the brook dried up, God still gave Elijah another instruction to go to a widow for his care. When Elijah got there, he told her to give him water and also to come along with a meal, but the widow quickly responded, ‘the last meal is meant for me and my son’. But in her lack and needy, she went on to sow her last meal to Elijah first, then she and her son. The scripture says, they never lacked food till rain fell on the land.
Famine is a season to sow from what we have. The widow made Elijah’s meal first, served him and ate with her son for day. During famine, care for others even when you don’t have enough. Sow seeds to those who needs it more than you do. Be a solution to others in famine and see what God will do in your life. She obeyed the instructions even when it was very strange and dangerous but that was the end of famine for her household. What you eat or keep is not what sustains you in famine, it’s what you give and release to others. So, find what to sow in that famine.
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.
