Topic: The Miracle From A Jar
Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7
1Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
3Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
Key Verse: “Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest” (2 Kings 4:7).
Message
A girl returned from church one Thursday night and noticed that there was no dinner for the family. She prayed to God for provision of food. Not long after, a man who rode on a motorcycle, brought in some foodstuffs, saying that someone told him to bring the foodstuffs to the family. This act was a miracle indeed and left the girl dumbfounded! God works in mysterious ways.

The widow in our text cried to Elisha for help to pay the debt hanging on the family. When asked, all she had was a pot (jar) of oil. At the instruction of Prophet Elisha, she got more empty vessels (jars) from her neighbours, poured the oil into all the vessels collected, until there was no more vessel to pour the oil into again. She sold the oil, paid her debt and had surplus. You may experience challenges related to school fees, study materials and feeding. Give your life to Christ, then you can pray to God, like the widow did, and the Lord will multiply the little you have and satisfy you with multiplied blessings.
Quote: God works in mysterious ways
Challenge: Pray to God for all your needs.
Prayer for today: Dear Lord, divinely meet all my needs in Jesus’ name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
