The Miracles of Elisha: the Pot of Oil
Elisha Multiplies the Widow’s Oil
Based on II Kings 4:1-7
1Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. 2And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 3Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 6And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 7Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
In desperate time we all do some desperate things. Recently during the pandemic many have vowed to work from home. Especially, now since gas prices are rising to riduclous amounts. These times will cause us to pray like never before. During my times of praying to GOD, I ask for an idea of something that I can do to make ends meet while working from home. While waiting for my answer, GOD reminded me of the Miracle Supply of Oil found in II Kings 4. This widow woman was in a dire need to make ends meet, or the creditors was going to take her sons away. She went to the prophet for guidance and she followed everything that the prophet told her to do.
While watching TikTok videos, I came across many videos of various individuals creating artwork in the form of soap. I immediately became enlightening because being a former artist and a musician. There is nothing like being one of a kind and doing something that can not be easily duplicated. I eventually formed Mick’s Soap.
Every bar is different and one of a kind, similar like snow flakes. Not one snow flake is the same as the next one.
I believe that GOD want us to be what HE has created us to be; individual with our uniquely talents and gifts.
At the end of the story above the prophet Elisha told the widow woman to go and sell the oil, and pay the creditors then you and your household can live on the rest.
