the Oil never has to stop flowing.

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."
2So 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."

3Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4And 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."

5So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6Now 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. 7Then 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."



This passage is my fresh bread from heaven for the week! It hit me so hard that i had to record it down. As always, the good news inside of us compels us to share it with others.

Feeling all contended about being at where i am, my prayer life started to dip. i am very happy and contented. Don;t want to make any changes to it. But the Word of the Lord change my state of mind! During cg, he dropped this passage in my heart. he said, Deora, the moment you start entering my court without the jar of a hungry heart, is the moment my revival will cease in your life. then came the nugget.. Mediocracy is the enemy of Excellence and Greatness! If i am contended with simplicity, then the greatness and the promise land flowing with milk and honey will not be realised in my lifetime.

i went back and searched deeper in the Word. Lo and behold.. i realised that the oil ceased not at the mouth of the widow but at the mouth of the little boy. The moment the little boy said, there is no more jar, the oil ceased. Way before the prophet got to hear of it, the oil had ceased. If the boy had said, "Mother, let me go and get more jars because the house is running short of them", the oil need not have ceased. It struck me like never before.. Revival flows with the word of the mouth and the mentality you have. What you say and what you think is going to determine if your revival is ever going to perpetuate.
