2 Kings 4:1-7
A wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, her husband is dead and he revered the Lord.
Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you? Tell me, what you have in your house?"
The woman said "Your servant has nothing there at all. except a little oil"
Elisha said,"Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side."
She did as Elisha said, when there was not a jar left, then the oil stopped flowing.
Elisha said to her, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left."
The widow whose children were to become slaves to discharge her debts.
Why?
Elisha takes care the life of his followers.
How can I help you? Is a way to ask the needed people.
The Lord help us through what we have. Don't despise what we have, if we devote the Lord, the Lord can use it and let us have more.
Go inside and shut the door, for the work of Holy Spirit can not be interfered. So it is prayer, go inside and shut the door behind me.
No empty jars than oil stopped flowing. Holy Spirit and the mercy of the Lord comes upon us when we are empty and cry to the Lord.
Elisha's miracles, like those of Jesus, show God's care of ordinary people and their needs.
How?
The Lord will help me through what I have and I can help other by what they have and through the power of the Lord.
Don't selfish to others. I usually cred about the money, the Lord might test me through money. All I have are belong to the Lord, it is the Lord lend me to use when I am living in the world.
