WHEN YOU'RE AT THE GATE OF ZAREPHATH - Kingdom Administering Series 002
I Kings 17:9-10, KJV
"9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath..."
When you're at the gate of Zarephath, may God meet your needs. I told you yesterday that there's a place we can get to where our needs asked to be met irrevocably. At such juncture, may you find answer.
After the brook dried up, God relocated Elijah by sending him to Zarephath. He tells him there's a widow there He has appointed for his sustainance. As Elijah journeys, he eventually reaches Zarephath and spotting a woman at the gate gathering sticks, he makes a request on her, "fetch me a little water in a vessel." As she goes to carry this out, the man of God doubles his request saying, "bring me a morsel of bread in thy hand." That's where the matter lies. If this widow is truly the commanded widow, this is the test that'll reveal her so. She replies, "I have not a cake but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse, and I'm gathering sticks that I and my son may prepare this, eat and die." However, Elijah says, "make first for me and afterwards for you and your son. For thus says the Lord, the barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth" (I Kings 17:13-14). So, it is. It was never spent. Multiplication rather keeps happening until the earth could receive rain to bring forth once more.
What is my declaration today? "When you're at the gate of Zarephath, your hope will not be disappointed." The gate of Zarephath is the juncture of expectation. When you have done as instructed, it'll happen just as God has foretold. So, if God is your shepherd indeed, He's under obligation to lead you to sustainance which if you mark, you'll sure be provided for. Why many people aren't having the expected end that prophecy or promise assures is because they haven't done all to have it. Elijah went. Just while he was at the gate, he began to test if he had been rightly led out. Indeed, he was correct because that widow opened up to him. Are you at a juncture where a need needs to be met? Has it become a desperate need indeed? Be assured! God has made someone available for your needs to be met. Such are those who are usually given commands on your behalf. Such can't refuse your request as prompted you of God to place on them. You won't be disgraced at the gate of Zarephath. As you near the deadline, help comes your way and assistance aids you. Also, you might need to learn how to prioritize seeding your resources when what you have is not enough or can't do. That woman did by seeding her resources first to Elijah and she and her family ate for many days. There's what is known as "seed power". It is not any man's gimmick to collect your resources. It's God's principle of making you blessed and overcome shortage any day any time. Practice seeding!
PRAYER: What I have shall not finish before I receive another delivery.
