TEXT 2 KINGS 17:12-16
CLASSIC
TOPIC : BIRTHING YOUR NEW SEASON.
[12]And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
[13]And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
[14]For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
[15]And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
[16]And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
Beloved, yesterday we saw God intervening and introducing a new season for a nation, today we would be looking at God birthing a new season in the life of an individual.
The conditions and circumstances of the survival of the woman in this scripture was very precarious.
1 Kings 17:11-12
"And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.(1 Kings 17:11-12).
They were about eating their last meal just before the prophet arrived.
The prophet placed a seemingly impossible demand on the woman.
This was God testing her in both giving and compassion.
Many have failed these tests and have remained at the same spot for years.
You may be down to zero as you are reading this.
That spirit of delay may seem as if it had won the battle of lordship in your life.
That marriage may be full of torture and pain, but God is up to something.
He is about changing your story, if you believe this type i believe.
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
