YOUR GIFT THE TRIGGER2
So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink." And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." And she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a cruse; and now, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die." And Elijah said to her, "Fear not; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make for yourself and your son. For thus says the LORD the God of Israel, 'The jar of meal shall not be spent, and the cruse of oil shall not fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain upon the earth.'" 1Kings 17:10-14
She has her only meal, for her and her son and God demanded for it because it was her last meal; God doesn’t ask for your gift when you have it in abundance but when you have it in scarcity: give especially when it’s scarce.
God sent His hungry servant to a starving mother to feed him not for this mother to save this servant but to save her son and self from starvation. When God wants to solve your problem He’ll first ask you to solve the need of His servant. Though you are needy, yet He’ll ask you first solve another’s need. It’s in solving the need of God’s servant that yours would be solved.
After she has attended to the need of Elijah that the voice of God spoke concerning her own need. It’s only when you’ve first attended to the need of God’s servant that God would attend to yours.
The devil would tell you to concentrate on your problem to be able to solve it, God would tell you to concentrate on the need of His kingdom for you to have your problem solved, it’s up to you.
God bless you
