How Long Can The Oil (Strength) You Have Carry You?

1 Kgs. 19:1-8

The story of Elisha here, who peradventure was taking the last lap in the purpose of God for his life, reminds us of our journeying to our eternal home as Christians. Elisha was apparently overwhelmed by his misconstrued understanding of God’s faithfulness to those who serve Him. He therefore demanded for death after God had wrought unparalleled miracles by him, and while waiting, maybe to be killed by an angel, he was to receive the final strength that will enable him to carry out his last assignment in God’s service. Elisha was encouraged to take in enough food (strength) because of the daunting task ahead of him. Beloved, it’s cataclysmic wadding our ways through the world that crucified our Lord! You need God’s strength too. Interestingly, God still serves meals up till today. What determines the quantity you take in, among others, are your obedience and patience to wait at the table. As you call at the meal table of His Word and meditate prayerfully on daily basis, you will experience the sublime strength and power that will enable you to live a successful and victorious life in Jesus’ name (Amen).

Point of Emphasis: Yesterday’s meal is not sufficient for today

Prayer Point: Oh God, help me to always depend on Your strength
