TEXT: 2 KINGS 4: 2-
6
When the widow came to the prophet to ask him for help,
she did that because she knew she could not help herself, she believed that
going to ask for help from a higher authority would empower her to get solution
to her problem. She explained her problem to the man of God and the man of God
told her what to do.(To borrow empty vessels from neighbours, and start pouring
the bottle of oil in all available vessels.) she kept pouring this bottle of
oil in the empty and available vessel, when all the vessel were filled up, the
oil stopped flowing. (2 Kings 4:6)
We are spiritual vessels and we need a higher authority
(God) to empower us to fulfil destiny. The Almighty God is ready to keep
pouring His “oil” into us, so that we will be relevant and equipped for every
good work. As long as present yourself “ empty” and “available” to God, He will
continue to fill you with His holy Spirit and power, so that you can be strong
and do exploit in His kingdom.
Nobody can pour anything inside a full vessel; it can only
retain its content without any room for an additional substance. This is why we
should always come to the presence of God as empty vessels ready to receive and
retain all He wants to put in us. We should not be arrogant because that level
you are is not where God wants you to be, He want to take you higher, He want
to keep pouring His ceaseless oil in you, for you to mount high like an Eagle.
There are a lot of ideas He hasn't revealed to you, present yourself empty so
that you can retain more of His power. Pride has made the anointing in some
people’s life to cease; they have become full with pride that is no more space
in them for more oil! When all the vessels in the widow’s house were full, the
oil ceased flowing, so also as spiritual vessels if we allow pride, selfishness,
bitterness and other works of flesh to fill us, we may not have space left for
God to pour His oil. This can make us to be spiritually stagnant. May the oil
of God upon us never cease in Jesus name. (Amen.)
