Life Lesson 6 from Prophet Elijah and the Poor Widow
Prioritize God's Work
Elijah was not against this
woman preparing a meal for her family but he first wanted her to prepare a cake
for him for he told her, "Go and do as you have said but first make a
small cake for me, bring it to me and then prepare some for you and your son." (1
Kings 17:13)
Therefore ensure that you
handle God's business first before you mind your own business.
This is
especially important when what you have cannot meet your own needs. For
example, if your income is too little to meet all your monthly expenses, ensure
that you tithe to God first and then ask Him to guide you and show you how you
can use the rest of the money wisely as He opens the windows of Heaven to bless
you with more resources.
So, do not use the oil with dregs
at the bottom of your jar as your offering to the Lord. Give Him from the best
of what you have for He says, A son honors his father and a servant
honors his master. If then I am your Father, where is My honor? And if I am
your Master, where is my respect? says the Lord of hosts (Malachi 1:6)
You offer defiled food on
My altar and say, "In what way have we defiled You? ... And when you offer
the blind as a sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick
is it not evil?" (Malachi
1:7-8)
