TEXT : 2 KINGS 4:1-2
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GIVE?
'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."
Beloved, the nations are going through one of the world's toughest economic meltdowns.
For some of the African countries, it is very severe.
But we must remember that this is not the first famine in history.
How did our covenant fathers prosper in the famine that happened in their own time?
God had never changed.
He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The widow in our anchor scripture thought that she was finished.
She didn't know that whatever she had was enough to deliver her from certain death.
What do you have left in your life?
If it's not enough to save you from that embarrassment, just know that it's a seed.
The woman thought she had nothing the same way many of us have held ourselves down for years thinking we have nothing.
The best time to give is when what you have is so little that it can help you.
If that is what you are facing now, begin to pray for the power to lay it down.
Beloved often, no one is trying us down, we are only victims of our own choices.
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
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
