“Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.” (2 Kings 4: 3)
That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.
In our Focal Scripture, Elisha told the widow of one of the sons of the prophets to go and borrow vessels. She had only a pot of oil, and Elisha told her to borrow many vessels from her neighbours. Those vessels were eventually filled by the oil from her pot of oil. A pot is ordinarily small when compared to a vessel. So what she had was small, but it filled big vessels. Her small pot of oil made big things to become a reality.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: your small pot of oil will make big things to happen. Your small efforts will cause big results to happen. Your little contacts will cause mega access to become your reality. Your little status will birth unimaginable influence in time to come. What you are currently doing may be small in your eyes, but by the word of the Lord, it will cause big things to happen. Your small pot of oil is a game changer.
That pot of oil did not need to become a big pot before making big things to happen. You may indeed be small, and God says, you are not too small to make big things to happen. You are not too small to make mega impact. You are not too small to turn the tables. You are not too small to hit unbelievable targets. You are not too small to make a huge difference. You are not too small to excel or rise to high places.
When Jehovah is involved, small things are capable of making big things happen. When Jehovah is involved, your little has the capacity to make many things happen. When Jehovah is involved, your small business can become global, your small ideas can take you to your high places, your small vision can lead you into great heights, your small opportunity can make you famous, and any small ‘pot of oil’ can fill many vessels.
Stop looking down on your ‘pot of oil’. If God be for you, it will fill mega vessels.
Isaiah 60: 22 says: “A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.”
Declare With Me: My small ‘pot of oil’ will make big things happen, in Jesus’ name!
