TO DO WHEN GOD IS READY TO RAIN AND BLESS YOU PLENTIFULLY - Large Place Series 018
II Kings 4:2-3, KJV
"2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few."
Yesterday, you saw the inadequacy, deficiency and unpreparedness of that certain rich man. His land brought fought plentifully but it actually caught him unawares. He lacked foresight to afore put preparedness in place though in no time, he made greater erections and mastered the situation. If not, he'll have wasted heaven's blessings when his land defied all odds to bring forth plentifully. However, it was at arrival he was saying, "but I don't have room enough for this." Unpreparedness in action!
But that's the kind of blessing some are praying for. God gave him quadruplets where he was expecting one and he's confessing, "but I don't have room and resources enough to take care of them." You should know once you marry, it is a call to greater consequences and responsibilities. I pray that even if it comes suddenly, you'll have wherewithal to put readiness in place. In no time, that rich man built greater warehouses, silos and barns. Why? He has the fund. He only needed the solution and that one too was not far fetched from him. In every situation, may you always receive a way of escape.
However, let's see differently from this certain rich man's story. I want to show you the display of foresight. Elisha in trying to help a widow break even economically asked her what she has. She said, "just a little oil in a cruse." Elisha said, "Ok, that would do. Go and borrow vessels of thy neighbours. Ensure you borrow much vessels." Why would Elisha counsel this way? He knew God was about to give His rain, blessings and plentiful abundance to her. Though he knows she might have her own vessels yet she counselled her to go beyond the limited vessels she might have to borrow more. The emphasis was, "borrow and borrow not a few." That woman regretted one thing later on though that was not written black and white in the Bible. It is the fact that she never knew what Elisha had in mind when he said, "borrow and not a few." If Elisha had given an exposition and hack to that woman on what would happen, that woman would have taken the pain to collect more vessels than she did. However, she didn't know and so restricted the Holy One of Israel. The One who has an enough inside that nobody can have emptied into himself. Elisha had foresight on what was coming unlike our certain rich man in Luke 12:16. So, He told that woman to put preparedness in place. Or else, what will happen will escape and be curtailed from being delivered because there'll be nothing to trap it. Because of this, she gathered vessels enough that made her settle her debt, free her two sons and considerably live on the left over without knowing stringencies. People, I see an inflow of blessings. God is intentionally seeking to bless someone lavishly. God wants to throw Himself to someone's chest. He wants to give Himself to fill your hollow but God is saying, "carve out a space for this blessing. Enlarge your territory. Enlarge your vision, mandate and the motion at which you'll now race to level up." The question is, "are you ready to give the labour of borrowing vessels not a few?" If you never know, that woman was going from house to house. She even needed extra persuasion before many could trust her with their vessels but she endured all to fulfill the requirements for experiencing the running and never stopping oil. Are you indeed ready for church growth? Then, make room available for souls. Are you really ready to nurse children? Then, prepare as a waiting mother. I'm saying this because like Elisha, God will come to you like a flood and an ever flowing oil but do you have vessels not a few to house His blessings. This will overwhelm you and confound you. So, before this great day of visitation, quickly seek every means possible to be ready and not waste heaven's deposit at arrival. Put preparedness in place in obedience to awaiting the ever running oil.
PRAYER: Lord, baptize me with foresight to train, enlarge capacity and do all that's required for me to be able to contain my coming blessings.
