BEFORE YOU STEP OUT TODAY SUNDAY 07/08/2022

TOPIC : FAITH IN HARD TIMES

TEXT : 2KINGS 4: 1-6

[1]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.

[2]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.

[3]Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

[4]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.

[5]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.

[6]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.

Dearly beloved, the above encounter between prophet Elisha and this widow is typical of what faith can procure even in hard times.

Faith is no respecter of persons, times and seasons.

This woman's situation was precarious.

She had lost her husband and was about losing her two sons also, this time to her late husband's creditors.

I do not think that your own case is as bad.

Even if your case is worse, remember that with the God we serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Jehovah El Elyon means God the highest, He will never become the lowest in your own life.

God bless you.

With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.

May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Your Victory is already guaranteed

It is well, do not give up, with God all things  are possible
