Live off the rest

Elisha and the Widow’s Oil

1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying,
“Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”
2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said,
“Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you
have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”
5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”
And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”

1. Single mother, like so many had children and needs, yet not the funds to cover it all.
2. She sought the Lord, and God provided an answer through His servant Elisha.
3. She obeyed the voice of the Lord and the instructions given by the prophet.
She did not complain about how ridicules the instructions sounded, she just by faith, followed them.
4. Once she found gifts in her own house, he instructed her to sell her product, pay off her debt and live off the rest.
Dawn brought this statement to my attention today,
Live off the rest
The widow made enough to pay off her debt and live. Never having to work again.
God supplied her needs. He went above all she could have thought or asked?
He, God is also providing to us wealth for our households. Talents to cash in and pay off our debts, so move on every idea, dream, vision, and or talent that God pours into you and watch your move of faith reap a profit.

Payoff all you owe, and live!

Love Ya!
