Even during emergencies and catastrophes, when others are scrimping due to over-indebtedness, believers should be abundantly funding ministry work, eliminating debts, fulfilling their purpose, reaching their destiny, and showing others how to attain and enjoy what the LORD so richly prepared for us.
The widow of Zarephath and her son were going to die of starvation after eating the very last meal they had. But, she met Elijah the Prophet who gave her instruction. Due to her obedience in doing what she could not see in the natural as positive help, the LORD miraculously turned her little bit of flour and oil into enough resources to carry them through a lengthy famine.
Likewise, Elisha’s student, who abruptly died, put his sons in the position to be indentured slaves and his widow to be destitute, until they could pay off their deceased father & husband’s creditors. Again, obedience in following the prophet's instruction (by faith not sight) turned the widow’s little bit of oil into enough money and resources to free her sons and have plenty of food and necessities thereafter. She miraculously kept filling pots with oil until there were no more and then sold all the oil for a handsome sum of money with which she paid off her family’s debt and eliminated the financial bondage they had endured.
In the same way, God created you with the ability to obey Him, give abundantly to fund the gospel, and serve other people toward their best interest. When you display such an obedient and giving heart, He makes sure you have more than enough to make life fruitful and fulfilling during up and down economic cycles. Giving of your time, money, and resources may seem inconsequential at the time you’re doing it, especially when you're currently experiencing obstacles and problems. However, it will be life preserving and lead to opportunities for increased income, fruitfulness, and a profitable life as you move forward into your future on earth and eternity.
With all your heart, mind, and strength you must forge ahead based on biblical instruction and the LORD will provide more than enough to care for all your need and many things you desire and will also help you be a blessing to other people.
Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
