Topic: FIRST DO MY OWN

MEMORIZE: “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. 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.”  1 Kings 17:13-14.

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Kings 17:8-16.

EXPOSITION:

Sometimes the way out of drought and insufficiency is giving out even the little you have to gain bigger. A man of God said, if what you have is not enough to satisfy you when eaten, he said, turn it to seed and sow it. In due time, it will yield bountiful harvest, if you sow it properly. So was the case of a widow in Zarephath of Sidon, she was about to eat her last meal together with her only son and then die, because there was severe famine in the land. But God tested her obedience through prophet Elijah. The man of God requested for food from her last meal, which was so painful to obey. But because of her reverential fear for and obedience to God, she obeyed and prepared food for the man of God. In response, she never lack sufficient food to take care of her family and the man of God.

All you need to do is to trust God and hold Him by His Word, you will surely laugh last over your insufficiency. The seed sown today properly guided into the service of God’s kingdom will never lack approval, commendation and blessings. Abraham paid tithe of all the spoils he gathered to Melchizedek, King of Salem, an high priest, God was happy with him and bless him more. Give to God even when it is hard to do. Give to God even when it is not enough in your hand. Give to God, not in eye service or to receive the praise of men. God is the rewarder of all we do with our resources. If He didn’t bless us, our labour will definitely be in vain. Imagine what would have happened to that widow if she had eaten her food without obeying the man of God. Only God knows what we have lose for our past disobedience. Start obeying Him from today, to enjoy His big hand of supplying your needs.

PRAYER POINT:

i. Lord, I give you my heart, help me to obey you and make you my first priority in all I desire and do in Jesus name.

ii. Lord, let there be nothing too difficult for me to give to you because you are the source of my provision in Jesus name.
