From BROKE to BILLIONAIRE
She is dead broke, can’t feed her children. Her creditors are coming now, and she is begging for containers.
What for?
Mrs Prophet has probably asked her neighbours for help in recent past. First , it was a little food, now its jars!
What do you need them for sis?
I don’t know, the pastor says to borrow some.
Hmmmm, please be careful to return it. The last time you borrowed a bag of Basmati rice and maggi you didn’t return it.
It is the same pastor your husband followed until he died and yet, he could not help you people or save your husband’s life.
God sometimes allow the enemy to add ridicule to your shame to make it more colourful. He added a tinge of stupidity to this woman’s poverty.
As she walked away, holding the pot, her neighbour may have had one last look…..peeping from between the curtains…I think she has finally lost her mind. She has no food to cook, but borrowing more jars and pots!!!
Many of us have faced a significant shame and all that we want to do is to hide our face quietly and face the consequences of our action. But God won’t let you be, it is as though HE EXPOSES YOU TO MORE RIDICULE!
She borrowed jars and locked the door, it was a crucial step in the 7 STEPS TO BECOME AN OIL BILLIONAIRE.
A stupid instruction was the last instruction before she started selling oil to the neighbours who loaned her pots!!!
When it seems like your shame has now been upgraded and God is making things harder for you, many will question your faith and ridicule your persistence in faith.
They don’t need to know much, it will seem like stupidity.
OBEY GOD.
When He asks you to borrow jars, heaven is busy manufacturing what you will store in them. It does not need to make sense to the neighbours or even you.
Every miracle you have prayed for has ONE LAST STEP before you break through. Be careful to not be sensible when what God is saying does not make sense.
2 Kings 4:3-4, 7 MSG
“Here’s what you do,” said Elisha. “Go up and down the street and borrow jugs and bowls from all your neighbors. And not just a few—all you can get. Then come home and lock the door behind you, you and your sons. Pour oil into each container; when each is full, set it aside.” She went and told the story to the man of God. He said, “Go sell the oil and make good on your debts. Live, both you and your sons, on what’s left.”
