The Widow and The Pot of Oil
Lesson Three:
God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
2 Kings 4: 1-7 (King James Version)
“Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.”
-When the widow went to Elisha, she just wanted him to help her with her debt. However, God blessed her “exceedingly and abundantly more” then what she was asking for. After she poured all the oil into the empty vessels, Elisha told her to “sell the oil, pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.” That means that there was enough for her and her sons to live off on for the rest of their lives. Am sure she was not expecting to be set financially for the rest of her life. The reason why God blessed the widow above her need is an answer that we will address tomorrow. “Lord, please keep me mindful that you are able to bless me exceedingly and aboudently above all that I could think or ask.”
