2 Kings 4

1 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.”

2 And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”

3 Then he said, “Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few.

4 Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside.”

5 So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her.

6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 She came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”

God will often use what you already have.

God won’t bless what’s not surrendered.

2 Kings 4:6

When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

What does my gathering say about my faith?

Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. ‭‭

2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬

For we walk by faith, not by sight. ‭‭

James‬ ‭2‬

17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. ‭
