Hello steemians,
Let me take a little of your time, let's walk down and focus on some act of man which makes a greater way but neglected.
Remember, that most atimes we neglect that little offer(sowing of seed), this little is all you need.
Elisha asked,"what shall i do for you, what do you have in the house and the widow answered saying, "i have nothing but only this little oil saved in the jar".
Let's quickly read through the scripture to see what happened there after,
"when all the jars were full,she said to her son," bring me another jar.
But he replied,"there is not a jar left." then the oil stopped flowing. (2 kings 4:6)
What is the scripture quot saying to us, we should not neglect the little we are having because that little can gain a greater favour.
This is of a widow who went to prophet Elisha, asking the prophet to have pity on her saying to him, "am a widow,i lost my husband and he left a lot of debt for me but i have no money to clear the debts".
Remember the prophet did not call a party or the crowd to come and witness the challenge the woman was facing, he rather questioned the woman " what do you have?"
In today's life, it would have been what is wrong with this man, asking a poor widow of what she can offer while looking at the woman naturally,she have nothing.
Is that not like many of today's believers, who are carried away with the challenge, that the little they have looks like nothing.
Elisha told the woman, i can't help you until you show me what you have because the word of God functions by sowing and reaping. Then she remembered that she's having a little oil in her vessel.
Brothers and sisters, i believe that the little is all you need to start seeing the miracle/manifestation of God in your life.
What you consider little is nothing but a seed. No one knows the power of what you consider little is nothing but a seed. No one knows the power of a seed.
Don’t underestimate the gift of God in you. There is no one that is totally useless. There is something you have. There is something you can contribute. There is a gift in you that the world is waiting for.
But like the widow, God will do nothing if you cannot see and appreciate the little you have.
Don’t go around throwing pity parties. Your challenge is only as big as you make it. You are as important as you see yourself. If you think you are nothing, a nobody, a no-good, there is nothing any one can do about it. But if you see yourself as the extension of God here on earth, if you see yourself as the success that God has made you, then there is absolutely nothing that can stop it.
Don’t neglect the little, because God is going to enlarge your coast beyond your wildest imagination.
