Message
Today's Bible reading tells us about a widow who was about to lose her sons to slavery because her late husband left behind a huge debt. She was in a desperate situation, and in her desperation, she ran to Pophet Elisha and shared her plight with him. After telling the prophet about her troubles, he asked her what she had in her house, and she replied,"Nothing, except a pot of oil." She thought that what she had was little, but she didn't realise that it was all she needed to become financially free.
Sometimes, you don't need more than what you already have in order to receive what God has in store for you. All that the widow in today's Bible reading needed to have a financial breakthrough had been in her house all along, but she didn't know it. It took Elisha's instructions on what to do with what she had to help her experience the potential of the 'little' that was in her possession.If God had opened her eyes to see what He could do with the little she had, she would have never been in distress. I pray that the Almighty God will open your eyes to see the solutions He has put around you, in Jesus' name.
In today's memory verse, the Bible says that the ears that hear and the eyes that see were made by the Lord. This means that a person can be surrounded by prosperity; however, if God doesn't enable that person to see the opportunities He has placed around him or her, such a person can die in poverty. Having eyes that see is more than just having physical eyes. When you have eyes that see, you will see opportunities where others see challenges and abundance where others see scarcity. When Cod opened Isaac's eyes to see opportunities in the midst of famine, he became so wealthy that the Philistines began to envy him because he had become wealthier than them(Genesis 26:12-16),
Beloved, in order to thrive, you need to have eyes that see. You need to see beyond the ordinary to achieve extraordinary results. Over the next few days, I will Share the importance of having seeing eyes and why you should ask the Lord for them. I pray that my Daddy will give you seeing eyes so you will see opportunities where others see obstacles and experience breakthroughs Where others experience oppositions, in Jesus' name.
