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.
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast
said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after
make for thee and for thy son.
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal
shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the
Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and
she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of
oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.
1 Kings 17:12-16 KJV
The powerful testimony from this widow’s story is that the
coming of the prophet made her to see the abundance of God when she acted as
God instructed her through Elijah. If all the instructions you hear from any
prophet who claim is only to bring and there is nothing for you.
Start with what you have and be willing to share even the
little and believe God for the growth and success you seek. No one who serves
self ever impacts his generation. If you want to impact your generation then
you must be willing to share even what is considered little and God will
multiply that little to become much.
