MORE THAN ENOUGH-2

Text : 2 Kings 4:3 

He told her, “Go out to all of your neighbors in the surrounding streets and borrow lots of pots from them. Don't get just a few empty vessels, either.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us._ (Ephesians 3:20).

Note that while God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think; God's workings in your life is according to the power that works in you. And that power is His. 

The only thing you have to do is simply allow the power of God work in you. *The power of God at work in you is the Holy Spirit.When you allow Him, He will do exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or imagine.

The major hindrance to the workings of God's power in you is yourself. I mean your mindset. You often undermine the operations of God's Spirit in your life by your reasoning. (2King 7:1-2).

The text we are considering stated the instruction given to the widow- "Go borrow lots of pots... Don't get just a few empty vessels..." 

The quantity of oil she received was dependent on the quantity of vessel she made available. 

In the same way, the quantity of God's power at work in you is determined by the level of your availability to Him.* The only thing that makes you unavailable for the Spirit's infilling, and indwelling is your mindset.

The widow's oil stopped flowing the moment the vessel was exausted. As long as you are available, God is also willing to allow His Spirit flow through you.

Make yourself available unto God and He shall continuously flow through you!

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 4:1-7.


PRAYER FOCUS

1 ) Father God, please enlarge my capacity to receive all that you have in store for me.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
