START FROM THERE

START FROM THERE

2 Kings 4:1-7

Devotional:- “So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil"” (V. 2) NKJV

    One of the tricks the devil wants to employ on us is to make us think we don’t have what we need to succeed. That is why most people often think that if they have certain things, they would have been able to make it. But if we want to face the reality of life right in our hands and hearts lies what can make us succeed. We indeed need the help and favour of God, but they will only catch up with us when we are using the one we have wisely. 

The woman we read about also felt she didn’t have what it takes to make it. So she goes about complaining. It was when she met the man of God, that he let her know that the little she had was enough for her success. Her willingness to start with what she has brougth her to her miracle. When she obeyed the instruction of the man of God in faith, her miracle was delivered and she became free from debt.

Friend, you already have what can transform your life. It is complaints and ignorance that have hidden them from you so far. If only you will value that talent, that potential, that thing you know now or that little money or materials with you. Be willing to discipline yourself to start labouring with them, thinking and organising yourself to grow; you will see that God is with you. That little will soon become big (Job 8:7)

Prayer: Lord, help me to appreciate your grace upon my life.

“UNTIL YOU APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE, A BIGGER ONE MAY NOT COME”
