« The LORD will open the storehouses of the skies where he keeps the rain, and he will send rain on your land at just the right times. He will make you successful in everything you do. You will have plenty of money to lend to other nations, but you won’t need to borrow any yourself »
1The widow of a member of a group of prophets went to Elisha and said, “Sir, my husband has died! As you know, he was a God-fearing man, but now a man he owed money to has come to take away my two sons as slaves in payment for my husband’s debt.”
2 “What shall I do for you?” he asked. “Tell me, what do you have at home?” “Nothing at all, except a small jar of olive oil,” she answered.
3 “Go to your neighbors and borrow as many empty jars as you can,” Elisha told her.
4 “Then you and your sons go into the house, close the door, and start pouring oil into the jars. Set each one aside as soon as it is full.”
5 So the woman went into her house with her sons, closed the door, took the small jar of olive oil, and poured oil into the jars as her sons brought them to her.
6 When they had filled all the jars, she asked if there were any more. “That was the last one,” one of her sons answered. And the olive oil stopped flowing.
7 She went back to Elisha, the prophet, who said to her, “Sell the olive oil and pay all your debts, and there will be enough money left over for you and your sons to live on.”
There are people who are bound financially.
In Haggai 1:6, the Bible tells us that it is possible to earn wages into a bag of holes.
In other words, the person makes money, but the money keeps on disappearing.
There are people who, on sitting to calculate their income, wonder where the money went.
I know what this is like because before I met the Lord Jesus Christ, I was in this exact position.
There are forces that can make sure that what you are earning is not producing the result it’s supposed to, but that will end today, in Jesus’ name.
According to Revelation 3:7, Jesus Christ is the One who has the key of David and what He opens, no man can shut; what He shuts, no man can open.
Today, He will shut the door against those taking away your money and open the door of blessings for you, in Jesus’ name.
- Being in debt is being in captivity but my God can wipe any amount of debt off in less than twenty-four hours, Proverbs 22:7.
One of my sons came to a Partners’ meeting and I prayed that the next time I would be seeing him, every debt he was owing would be paid off. He said, “Amen”, but found it hard to believe it would happen. Some days later, the chairman of the bank he owed called him and asked, “How are you going to pay this your debt?” My son replied, “Sir, even if I’m paying you one million naira for every day that I have lived on earth, I cannot finish paying and you know it”. He was over 50 years old. Not long after, the bank wrote off his debt.
If you are in any form of debt right now, I decree that it will be cleared within the next twenty – four hours, in Jesus’ name.
Sometimes, it is not just one individual who is in financial captivity, but the entire family.
Had it not been for God in the Adeboye family, maybe we would still have been one of the poorest households in my village today. My parents could not afford to sponsor my education, but the Almighty God somehow got me educated up to the Ph.D. level, then continued to raise me higher and higher. Today, by the special grace of God, the Adeboye family is a blessing to my entire village.
If your family is poor, God will lift you all out of poverty too, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Father, help my family clear every debt and bless us so abundantly that we would be blessings to many others, in Jesus’ name.
