Sripture: Genesis 21: 14. A little bread and some water(KJV).
In the country south of Beersheba's fountains were almost unknown and wells were rare.Only those who knew the country well could find the wells.The policy of wandering tribe was to conceal their watering places for strangers.Abrahama knew that Hagar's own people were not far distant so she could find refuge. She knew the desert but got lost through sorrow.Hagar survived through limited resources because God was with her. God heard the voice of the lad out of heaven and He provided. Amen.
Scripture: 1Kings 17: 12. A hand full of flour and a jug of oil. (KJV).
The prophecy was fulfilled: For the Lord of Israel says that there will always be plenty of flour and oil left in the containers until the time when the Lord sends rain, and the crops grow again. Faith enabled her to act according to the word of the prophet,and by faith she continued to have a supply throughout the famine and after it was over, the meal gave out and oil faild. Those who welcome you are welcoming me,And when they welcome me, they are welcoming God who send me. I f you welcome a prophet because he is a men of God, you will be given the same reward a prophet gets. A nd if you welcome good and godly men because of their godliness, you will be given a reward like theirs( Mathew 10: 40 & 41 ).
Scripture: 2King 4 : 2. A pot of oil (KJV).
The oil kept on flowing as long as there were some pots.The oil stopped flowing when there aren't any more pots.She was told to go and sell some of the oil to repay her debt. God is very much concerned about your debt. He does not want you to become a slave to your creditors. Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others,never finish paying that (Roman 13 :8).
GOD CONDESCENDS TO MEET THE LIMITED RESOURCES AND CONDITIONS OF MEN.
1. Small offering accepted from the poor ( Lev 14 : 21 & 22).
2. Two small coins from the widow ( Mark 12 : 42 - 44).
3. Cup of cold water not despised ( Mathew 10 : 42 ).
4. Faith, even as a grain of mustart seed ( Mathew 17 : 20 ).
5. Two or three assembled in my name have the promise of the devine presence (Mathew 18 : 20 ).
Christian who have little tend to believe that God will not meet their limited resources and their conditions.People who are having less are blessed too. God does not look at the quantity, But at the heart.
Be blessed.
