Life Lesson 9 from Prophet Elijah and the Poor Widow

Life Lesson 9 from Prophet Elijah and the Poor Widow

Give To Receive

Another principle that we can learn from this poor widow is that of Give and it shall be given back to you a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and overflowing. (Luke 6:38)

This woman gave flour and oil to Elijah by feeding him and in return she received a good measure of the flour and oil because she, her son and Elijah Ate for many days (1 Kings 17:15) for the Bin of flour was not used up and the jar of oil did not dry up according to the word which God spoke through Elijah. (1 Kings 17:16)   

Therefore if want something, give of what you have so that you can receive what you want. 

Note that this principle applies for tangible things like food and money and it also works for intangible things like love and patience.

Understand also that in some situations you may be the one to start giving to a servant of God before they ask you to give. If you want to apply this principle to your life and you do know which servant of God to give to, simply ask God to show you.
