YOUR GREATEST ASSET IS YOU
1. Do not miss your God-given opportunity. The servant was burdened by debt, yet she had access to the prophet whom God could use to give him the solution.
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. You must have something to trigger your miracle – To the one who has something, more is added. God often works with what you already have—those who faithfully use what they possess are entrusted with more.
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. Build and preserve healthy relationships with your neighbors. One day you will need their support.
3 Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors-empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
4. Obey the prophetic word and divine instructions.
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.
5. Your capacity determines the measure of your blessing. God will not pour out more than the vessels you have prepared to receive.
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.
6. Use your resources according to their intended purpose. Practice faithful stewardship by avoiding the misuse or diversion of funds.
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."
