How Much Can You Handle?

Passage: 2 Kings 4: 1-7

The story of this widow is very unique. The wife of a late prophet who feared God. Very interesting that some how she found herself in this position, but today we'll highlight something interesting about her miracle.
In verse 3 of our passage, Elisha told the woman to go borrow empty jars, and she should not get just a few. Elisha told her this because he knew what the power of God could do for her. Elisha did not limit God's ability and the woman herself obeyed in faith and by doing this she also did not limit God. Some of us don't see some things as being possible so we don't even want to try and ask God for help. This is an act of limiting the power of God in our lives. The question is, after believing God and acting in faith, how much could the widow handle?

Details on how many empty jars the woman borrowed were not given. However she kept pouring the oil and at the point when there were no more empty jars the oil SEIZED. The question for us today is how much of God can we handle? How hungry are we for God? The moment we get satisfied, and we don't have room again for God, His power, presence, blessings, anointing, revelations, mercy, grace and anything you can think of will seize in our lives.

- If we don't have room for His correction again, He will stop correcting us;
- If we don't have room for His presence again, He will stop showing up;
- If we don't have room for seeking Him again, we will not find Him;
- If we don't have room for His advice, guidance, instruction, He will stop giving them.

Because the widow had no more empty jars the oil seized. We need not to stay empty but we need to stay hungry for God. The moment we get satisfied with where we are, God will seize in our lives. May we never get satisfied up to the extent of not seeking God again. May God also intensify our hunger for Him in Jesus name, amen

Stay Blessed.
