Text: 2Kings 4:
When the wife of the debtor's prophet cried out to Elisha 'Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord l. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves(what a shame) Elisha replied to her,

How can i help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house? She replied your servant has nothing there at all, except a small jar of olive oil. Elisha said to her, go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just few.

Then go inside and shut the door behind you and yours sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side,

she left and did what Elisha told her to do, when all the jars were full, she asked her sons to brin her more jars but they said to her. There is not a jar left and the oil stopped flowing.

What Elisha instructed the wife of the debtor's prophet was what the husband of that woman would have been doing in other to pay his bills.

How can a prophet be borrowing money when God said to us in Deuteronomy that we will lend to nations but will not borrow from any.

That debtor's prophet did not use his prophetic anointing to solve his own family problems or would i say he did not understand his office.

When you don’t understand who u re in God u will be living like a slave because whoever that borrows to live is a slave to the person he borrowed from.

This prophet forgot that he can make a decree and money will come from 4corners of the world, God called things that were not as though there were and there be.

In Matthew 25 When Jesus told a parable of talent, the person that received one talent and refused to use it did not get anything in return.

When God appoints a man and the man failed to use what God has deposited in him that man will be living on debts.

Today many Christians are struggling financially because they failed to put there talent at work by starting from somewhere no matter how small it may seems because God only increases us through work,

when the woman was pouring the oil it was flowing until there was no jars again the oil stopped but the more she poured the more the oil increases.

I talked more on knowledge because through knowledge of the word of God some certain things wont occur in your life. As a child of God lean how to make a decree through the grace the Lord has given you dnt just sit down and watch things going wrong in your life and family without using the grace God has given you to solve that problem,

Jesus did not lack in his ministry because he understands who he was in God. A child of God does not borrow or beg unless the person is not using what God has given him like the debtor's prophet or maybe the person is no longer in right stand with God, we re gods..

God bless you.
