For today's message the first event that will change your life is titled, "FAITH". This can be found in 2 King 4, where it speaks about a woman who cried unto the prophet Elisha, about her husband who was dead. In her life there seems to be hopelessness as a result of her current situation.The profit shifted her focus to by asking her this question in verse 2, "What hast thou in the house?", . Today God is asking you the same question, what have you in your house to activate Faith?
The story went on to tell us about a women having only a pot of oil, which the profit asked her to borrow even her neighbors vessels. She then began to pour oil into these vessels until there was no more empty vessel.
If you have a testimony similar to this woman blessing please share below, or any comment about this message please feel free to share it below.

Hi, I am a christian serving the church of the Nazarene in Larimore. The story of the widow and the pots of oil is one of my favorites. I haven't read it in a long time. I wanted to thank you for your message here. I am struggling with my faith, not because I am a doubter of salvation, but because I have a hard time walking in trust. Maybe that's the same thing, I don't know. But, your message of this scripture has helped me remember and given me encouragement. Thank you.
ReplyDeletep.s. Please forgive me, but there are two words that sound the same and are often not caught by the spell checker. They are profit (as when one makes money) and prophet (as in the scripture above).
Thank you very much Carol for your comment, glad to know this blog made a difference. We are praying that God will help you with "walking in trust". Pointing to Heb 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". Where it shows that we have to trust the word of God, before things we hope for are visible at times.
DeleteThanks for the correction. God Bless
