3 Then he said, “Go, borrow containers from all your neighbors, empty containers—and not just a few.
4 Then you shall go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out [the oil you have] into all these containers, and you shall set aside each one when it is full.”
2 Kings 4:3-4 (AMP)
Consider what I showed Elisha.
Where there was nothing, he saw possibility. Where there was poverty, he saw provision. Where there was limitation, he saw abundance.
I want you to see through the lenses of Elisha. I want you to believe for the radically impossible. I want to take you on a journey. Firstly, in your own life. Rather than seeing lack, ask Me to show you what I want to do and what I want you to do. Are you ready to gather vessels for oil that does not yet exist? Are you ready to look foolish in the eyes of others?
Secondly, I am releasing you to lead others into the same anointing. Will you boldly instruct others to get ready for My outpouring? Oh My child, I am asking you to be brave, to be willing to put yourself out there. I have so much oil to pour out among My people but the vessels are not gathered and the oil is not expected. Change the lenses and raise the faith and together let us break down the limitations.
Activation: Spend some time reading through the story of Elisha and the jars and then ask Holy Spirit to speak to you through this story. Going into the new year, what aspects of this story does Holy Spirit want you to apply to your context?
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed and refreshed my head with [a]oil;
My cup overflows.6 Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the LORD.Psalm 23: 5-6 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Psalm 23:5 In ancient times it was customary in hot climates for a host to provide his guest with olive oil to put on his head. The Lord blesses and anoints His believers with the Holy Spirit, whom oil symbolizes, to prepare them for His service.
And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.
2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMP)
