One of the attributes of our God is that He is not
limited by location, time or circumstances. However, it gets worrisome when
people use their limited minds to limit the unlimited God. In the book of
2Kings4:1-7, a widow was at the verge of losing her two sons to creditors, so
she cried out to Prophet Elisha for divine intervention.
The Prophet asked her to go borrow vessels from
everywhere. She was told not to borrow a few. Of a truth, no one can say
exactly how many vessels the woman borrowed but what she borrowed was enough to
pay her debts and she had left over for her children and her to live on. If this
woman had gotten more vessels, she would probably have gotten more money to
start a business and even could have become the richest widow in that land.
Also, in the book of John 2, when Jesus turned water
to wine, only six pots of water were turned to wine. The servants present at
that wedding that day could have gone a step further to get more pots, maybe
after the wedding; the groom would have become a wine dealer.
Sometimes as humans, we are so overwhelmed by the
size of our problems that all we just so desire is a quick fix – “NOW HELP”.
All the blind man (Bartimaeus) wanted at that point was just sight restoration.
However, it would never have been a crime if he had asked for more things – a
boat to start a business; a storehouse to keep smoked fish etc.
I want you to stop limiting God with your limited
mind. He is the God with whom all things are possible. You can’t only be rich,
you can also be wealthy. You can’t only have your own home, you can become a
landlord. God wants you to not just have life but have it more abundantly.
So in all your thinking, asking and planning,
remember He can do ALL things!
