2 Kings 4:1-7 - Warning from a Widowís Oil and Reaching the World as an Underdog

Title: 2 Kings 4:1-7
Date: Dec 31, 1969
Speaker: Pastor Antonye Holyde
Topics: Elisha, Reaching Out

Passage: 2 Kings 4:1-7

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."
2 So 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."
3 Then he said, " Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
4 And 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."
5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
6 Now 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.
7 Then 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."
