Contrary to ‘Man’s’ first instinct to hoard food for self survival especially in times of extreme scarcity. A man from Baal-shalishah once brought bread and fresh ears of corn (as his firstfruits) to Elisha the man of God in a time of extreme scarcity of food and resources in 2 Kings 4 vs 42.
This divine action aligned with the needs of the students (sons of prophets) who were with the man of God and food which was Not Visible, Became Visible And Became ENOUGH.
The Word of God encourages us to trust Him and He’ll provide our basic needs, just as He feeds the birds (Matt 6 vs 25-34). Our heavenly Father has the capacity to use anyone, even animals or anything to feed or meet our needs.
Having used a man to bring in the supplies, God used another man and spoke through him that there will be ENOUGH of supplies and in deed there was. There are times in our life’s that we are steering at that last Naira in our purse or bank account, last stock of food or even firstfruits as this case maybe with no glimpse of replenishment, the best thing is to lean on, trust and hope in God. You either fall into the category of men that God uses to make the supplies or into the category of men He speaks through. Either way, trust Him for He never fails once He gives His Word concerning that need.
Matthew 6:26 ESV Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Our heavenly Father loves you and I so much and He possesses the ability to multiply that which is not enough into more than enough and I pray that You shall eat and have some left over in Jesus name.
Having enough or dwelling in this abundance can’t/shouldn’t be limited to just food supplies but applied to other areas of our lifes such as promotion (to the next level), miracle for healing, new home, guidance, fulfilling purpose and destiny just to mention a few. We need to learn to submit to God’s will and release that thing (it could be money, food, time, service to others, talent, fame, your sincere love, thanksgiving just to mention a few) and lay it at His feet. You’ll be amazed at how He’ll RESTORE your hope and lead you to WHERE YOU WILL GET ENOUGH.
