by Overseer Prophet Daniel Powell Sr.
People of the Way Series Part 5
Elijah had to learn first that God is a provider before God could use him as a provider (1 Kings 17:8-16 NKJV). The widow woman was about to have an encounter with God’s prophet. The woman needed a word, and the word she needed was not a word she was expecting. In return, the Lord told Elijah that He commanded a widow to provide for him.
God could have chosen anybody; there were plenty of widows, but the Lord wanted to save her and show her that He is a provider. He wanted to change her way of thinking and doing things, but she first had to receive from him.
This woman had two weapons that Prophet Powell, Sr. saw God gave her to use as weapons. She had a bin and a jar; those were her weapons that caused her to fight and defeat the enemy - poverty. Something this simple and small caused her to have victory in her life. God's way is victory, everlasting, peace, and will save an entire household. What causes us to walk the wrong way is because of things we don’t have.
Things that we plan have to be destroyed and dismantled. Us giving a little can increase a lot. Her household was about to have an increase come into her life spiritually, naturally, and financially. She had what she needed to prosper. What she had to use, she was going to use it to destroy her life, but God used it to increase her life. The Lord taught the widow woman about faith.
Her little became some, and the prophet Elijah prophesied in her life that ‘the bin of flower shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day of the Lord sends rain on the earth’” (1 Kings 17:14 NKJV). Fear was the spirit/demon that Elijah exposed that was taking over the widow.
Lastly, if we don’t trust God with a little, we can’t trust Him with a lot. We have to obey God in order to increase.
