Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 29, Day 2: Monday, 17th July 2023. TOPIC : SENSITIVITY IN FAMINE 2: Sowing In Famine

“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.”

When famine becomes the course of the day, what to listen to is God’s instructions. What is God telling me to do? 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, (with the last meal for her and her son). When Elijah got there, he told her to give me water and come along with a meal, but the widow quickly responded, ‘the last meal was 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.

When in famine, it’s a season to sow from what we have left. The widow made Elijah’s meal first, served him and ate with her son for day. During famine care for others even when you have little left. Sow seeds to those who needs more than you. Be a solution to other in your 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.
