MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
THE FLOW IS ANSWERABLE TO YOUR WORK
READ II Kings 4:1-7
II Kings 4:3-6, KJV
"3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4 And 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. 5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 6 And 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."
Do you know that the flow of oil from the original container is answerable to the number of empty containers that still need to be filled? At times, when God gives people open cheques, they do often misuse or under use it.
The Bible didn't say "this woman regretted for having not borrowed more than the vessels she borrowed but if it were you, you might have said a thing like " had I known, I would have borrowed more vessels than these".
If God puts within your capacity to determine how much blessing you'll receive from Him, don't you think you'll under receive, averagely receive, fully receive or over receive?
We don't know where this woman belonged. She could have belonged to any of those four levels.
The instruction of Elisha was "borrow vessels not a few". Indeed, she didn't borrow few. She must have borrowed many vessels. Now, the vessels she borrowed were all filled by the flow of oil until there was no more empty borrowed vessel to fill. That's when the oil stayed. If there was still a vessel to be filled, the flow would have gone on. Some won't realize how much effort they could have put into a thing to receive much more result until the outcome of their little effort comes out and it seems now to them as intangible.
You can carry spiritual blessings but if you don't give a body to it, it won't show. I want you know that nothing spiritual can manifest without giving it a body of expression - it seeks a channel. Only the body is what is visible, tangible and could be contacted by human senses. Even Jesus didn't come on earth until He took on flesh and became man who tabernacles with us full of grace and truth.
I Timothy 3:16, KJV
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh..."
How much are you working? There's already an instruction for blessing to follow you, for the oil to keep flowing but the blessing stops spiritually and won't turn into what you can possess where you stop working. As long as you're giving the expression of work to what God has put on you, blessings will continue to show.
Don't under work. Don't averagely work. Rather over work. Flows are answerable to your own work. Spiritual blessing is on you. As long as you're doing something which is work, blessings will begin to show. God wants you maximize the opportunity of the free flow without a regret later. Always leverage on opportunities. Where you could have gathered a 100 vessels, please do more and gather 1,000.
Don't regret having under work or having not borrowed enough vessels. Where you could have filled a million vessel, don't fill a thousand. Where you could have filled a billion, don't fill a million.
PRAYER: Lord, I won't regret using fully the mandates, calling, gift and blessing you've put on me. Let me utilize all fully.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 41:17-43:13, Ephesians 2:1-22, Psalms 67:1-7, Proverbs 23:29-35.
