EMPTY VESSELS FILLED BY FAITH - PASTOR JOHN SIMIYU
Description
2ND KINGS 4:1-7 NKJV
1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”
2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”
5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”
And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
- faith is the “sense” that gives us evidence of the invisible, spiritual world.
- If you have the substance before you or if you can see it, there is no use for faith. Faith is needed for what we can’t see and can’t touch.
- Faith is not a bare belief or intellectual understanding. It is a willingness to trust in, to rely on, and to cling to.
- The great examples of godliness all had different circumstances and personalities, but they all had one thing in common – faith.
- They needed a good testimony, and so they needed these examples of faith to break them out of discouragement.
- The difference between the sacrifice of Cain and the sacrifice of Abel (Genesis 4:3-5) was not between animal and vegetable. The difference was that Abel’s sacrifice was made by faith.
- This is the basic faith required of any who seeks God.
- We must believe that God is there, and that He will reveal Himself to the seeking heart.
