Let’s look at the widow woman in II Kings 4, verse 1:
“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.”
The widow woman in II Kings 4 is like so many people today. Their life is in a holding pattern. They are not moving. The Holy Spirit woke Dr. Pullings up one night and said to her,
A BELIEVER IS NEVER STUCK. The believer is always mobile; we are never stuck. We are never in a place where we cannot move, because in God we LIVE, we MOVE and we HAVE OUR BEING.
The widow woman is STUCK WITH DEBT; Debt is attached to her; wherever she goes, the debt goes. Plus her children are stuck with her so the debt that is attached to her life is now getting ready to cause her to suffer a major loss…the loss of her children.
Now, you may be feeling stuck, stuck with an issue in your marriage, stuck with something going on with your children… something in your body… something going on in the workplace.
But listen now as Elisha gives the widow woman an instruction in verses 3 and 4 of II Kings 4:
“Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
You see, God wants us to participate in our breakthrough. God forever surrendered His right to act independently in our lives; He has to have our agreement… our connection.
So, the woman goes and borrows the vessels in verse 5. She gets the vessels and goes back in her house. Her faith in action was manifested by the collecting of the jars, which was a manifestation of her faith. Though she only had a little oil on hand, the Bible says all the jars were filled to the top. How could that happen? Because…
THE POWER OF GOD IS RELEASED WHEN OUR FAITH IS ACTED UPON.
Our faith is the container to transport HEAVEN into EARTH!
What happened in II Kings 4 was not addition, or even multiplication. It was an Algebraic expression. That is where multiplication is not just 7 x 7 which is 49, but it continues in 49 x 7 and so on until you reach a number like 5,764,801. So the widow women’s oil was not just added… or even multiplied … the oil rose at an exponential rate that is never ending…
THAT IS HOW OUR GOD IS! THAT IS HOW OUR GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO HEAR AND OBEY!
If you are stuck today and not going anywhere, this is the time to hear the word of the Lord and put Him to the test, sow a seed and see if your situation is not turned around and your blessing comes multiplied exponentially in miracle fashion.
