The fourth lesson that we can learn from the Widow of Zarephath is that we must obey the word that God speaks to us through His servants.
We see that when Elijah told her to first bake a cake for him from the little flour that she had before she used it to make food for her son or herself, She went and did as per Elijah's instructions. (1 Kings 17:15)
The result of her obedience was that Elijah, her son and herself ate for many days for the bin of flour was not used up and the jar of oil did not run dry. (1 Kings 17:15)
Therefore if a true servant of God tells you to do something, obey him because we are advised to Believe in God and you shall be established. Believe His prophets and you shall prosper. (2 Chronicles 20:20)
