Give the little that you have and God will give you abundance.
Sometimes we wonder why God wants the little that we have. The little that we have, but He wants us to give it to Him. Nomatter how little, if we give it to Him, He will multiply it for us. He wants the little that we have, the last that we have, to know if we will trust Him. Trust Him with the small talent. Trust Him with what you have that you think looks insignificant.

“Like the stick in Moses’s hands. Like the two fishes and five loaves Jesus had. Like the handful of flour and the Little jar of oil from the widow in Elijah’s time.”

God wants the very little that we have. The last that we have. Will we be faithful to give it to Him? Will we be faithful to say Here Lord, this is all i have , but take it. I trust that you will blow my mind with the very little. I trust that you will make a way out of no way. I know this is my last but i give it to you, because I trust you. You are faithful.

Luke 16:10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

This may not refer to money, it may be anything little we have that we feel cannot make a difference, but God wants to use what we have. Its the little we have that God will increase to blow our minds. Can we be trusted to handle the little that He has given us?

In 1 kings 17: 8 God told Elijah to go to Zerapeth and has commanded a widow there to provide for Elijah.

But when Elijah got there and met the widow and asked the widow for food she replied;
1 kings 17:12
“As the LORD your God lives, i do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin , and a little oil in a jar ;and see I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for my self and my son, that we may eat it and die.

Now that was the widows last. The very little that she had. She either had to hold on to the little that she had,or give the little that she had for God to bless her in abundance. She could have held on to the little that she had and not trusted God with it. But she trusted God with her very little. Not knowing whether what Elijah spoke will happen, but she still took the bold step. She gave away the very little . She had FAITH.

This was Elijah’s reply to her;
1 kings 17:13
Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’”

Hebrews 11:1
faith is substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

God wants us to use the little that we have now. The little that we feel is insignificant. He wants us to step out with it. The idea that everyone looks down on. The idea that we feel is insignificant. He wants us to use it for His glory. Whether we feel we don’t have enough , or we don’t have it all together, He wants to use us. When we pray and give Him those ideas , gifts, He will multiply it.

look what happened when the widow had faith and gave the very little she had; God did as He promised.

1 Kings 17-15,26
15 So she did as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her family continued to eat for many days.16 There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah.

What is the very little that we have but feel is insignificant? That idea? The gift that nobody notices? God wants to use it.

Glory be to God🙌🏾

This too Shall Pass

Faith, overcoming Trials, Trials

Your faith is tested in trials. Will you still stand, when everything around you seems to be falling apart? When you prayed and God spoke, then afterwards the troubles increased? When you just prayed Lord take control and not long after everything is not going how you wanted it to?

When you just received a word about your future and nothing is happening yet? Will you question whether God spoke? Or will you hold on to His word, and go to God with the matter?

1 peter 1:7
These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold–though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

Thats what happened straight after Moses had spoken to Pharaoh and told him God said He should let the Israelites go. Before the Israelites were given straws to make brick as part of their labor. But after Moses had released God’s word to Pharoah things got worse. Pharoah ordered that the israelites go and find their own straw to make the bricks. Pharaoh ordered that they should be given even more work to do and not reduce their labor.
And the israelites told Aaron and moses that the Lord should judge them because matters had gotten worse since they spoke to Pharoah.

But where did Moses go after hearing the news? He went straight to the Lord first. He didn’t sit and wonder why things had gone worse. He didn’t ask His friends and family first and discuss it with them. He didn’t question what he had done wrong or give up.
He went straight to the Lord. And He asked God ” Exodus 5: 22: ” Lord why have you brought trouble on this people? Why isit you have sent me? 23 For since I came to Pharoah to speak in Your name, he has done evil to his people ; neither have you delivered your people at all

Exodus 6:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to pharoah. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of Egypt.

When you have commited your life to God. When God has given you a word over your circumstance and over your life. And the next minute everything starts going the opposite dirrection. Go on your knees in prayer. Go back to God with any issues that emerge. Don’t sit down and cry. Don’t sit down and worry. Don’t beat your self up and try to figure out for yourself what you have done wrong when you know You have given your life to God. Seek God first and wait on Him. Be patient to hear His voice. But most importantly stand on the word He gave you whiles you wait for His answer.

Don’t loose hope. Take your eyes of the circumstance and put your focus on God. Worship through the problems. Don’t let it hold you back from smiling, from laughing.Don’t let it steal your joy.
Seek God for guidance and thank Him even when you haven’t seen the answer yet. Have faith in God. Don’t let the circumstance crumble you. Seek God and when you go through the fire. Like clay you may go through the fire soft, but you will come out of it stronger. You will come out shaped and refined as a result of holding on to God’s promises. You will come out knowing why you went through that, that the fire wasn’t meant to burn you or destroy you but to shape you for a purpose. To shape you for something greater.

Through the circumstance you will come to have a personal story, a personal journey between you and God. You will come to experience God’s mighty hand on a personal level.

Only when you hold on to the promise, to the dream, to the vision , no matter how hard it gets. And continue to seek God no matter how hard it gets. The trouble will pass and you will remain standing. So don’t let hard times make you unstable, keep standing, because a time will come where the strong wind will pass and if you held in to God and seek His face you will remain standing.
I remember when I first decided to take my relationship with God seriously and not be just be called a christian but act like one and be intentional about seeking God.  But right after that decision i received bad news from different angles. I lost half of my essay, and a friend copied my work and collaborated with my lecturer so I would be introuble instead of her been blamed for plagirism. I was thinking “why would things get worse after I have made the decision to be serious about God and my relationship with Him”. But that kept me on my knees and more importantly I had my own personal experience with God when i saw Him turn everything around for my good. God revealed to me in a dream confirming that I will make it through and everything planned against me will not work. The dreams God revealed to came to pass. Not only did I experience God’s greatness and favor but i came to understand that God never fails when you depend on Him. I completed university and Continue to rely on Him into my career. And through that experience I learnt to rely on Him and seek Him even in the bad times.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Everything including the good and bad will work out for your good. So don’t loose focus on rainy days.
God loves you.
