Have you ever gone to anyone for loan and the first
thing you hear is, “So, how much do you have already?” In order words, most times
when we are requesting for help, part of the resources needed has been made
available to us, but many of us have been programmed to see what we do not have
instead of seeing and using that which is at our disposal presently. Whether you
agree with me or not, you have something in your hands that could start you up
in life.
When Prophet Elijah told the widow of Zarephath to
go prepare the last meal for him, I wonder what the woman must have been
thinking. The woman was correct to have said she just wanted to prepare the last
meal for her household and then die, but she must have realized that whatever one
has in his hands that cannot meet your need is a seed. From that story, we
realize that as believers, the resources needed for our transformation have
already been placed in our hands. The issue is if we would be willing and
obedient enough to heed instructions, knowing full well that only the willing
and obedient shall eat the good of the land (Isa 1:19).
Because the woman obeyed, Bible says in 1 Kings
17:16 that, “The barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail,
according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.” She had excess. As
read yesterday, God is only compelled to prosper that which is in your hands,
which is why I pity lazy people and folks who are always complaining of having
nothing in life. The disciples thought there was nothing until five loaves of
bread and two fishes became sufficient to feed five thousand people.
If you feel you have nothing, as long as you are
alive and you have God, you have much ‘cos one with God is majority.
Keep winning!
