“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he
shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” Proverbs 22:29
What is your
present financial situation? Whether you are in scarcity or in abundance,
whether you are in debt or in surplus, you must give God something to work with
if you want a great financial future.
The story of
Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC is truly inspiring. But something needed to
be identified. He was a great cook. He decided to be a cook and he was good at
it. That was what God used to turn his financial situation around. In our text today, the widow was in debt to
the extent that the creditors were coming to take her two sons. The first thing
the prophet asked her was what she had for God to work with in order to turn
the situation around. The little oil she had was enough. In similar situation
in Mathew 17:24-27, Jesus told Peter to go and cast a hook so that he could
catch a fish with gold in its mouth to pay their taxes. Peter was a great
fisherman.
Beloved, if
you want a great financial future, you must be good at something. Learn a trade;
develop a skill; study something. If you don’t have a hook or a net, there is
no prayer that can make you to go home with fish, even if you stand beside a
river for a long time. But if you cast your hook and apply diligence, reward
will come. No matter your present financial situation, find something you want
to invest your whole life in and be good at it.
I ask God to
bless the work of your hand in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Oh God lead me by the way I should go and teach me to profit in Jesus
name.
