MIRACLE OF THE LAST MEAL

MEMORISE: ‘Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.’ (2 Cor 9:10)
READ: 1 Kings 17: 8 - 16

Have you ever been at your wits end? Have you found yourself in a situation where you thought the end had come? The woman in our reading experienced this. Things went very bad for this widow of Zarephath. With a son to feed and nobody to depend upon, her food reserves kept diminishing until one day she went into her store and found to her chagrin that what was left was sufficient for just one meal; not even enough for that day. Seeing there was no one to assist her, no relative, parents, in-laws or even neighbours, she decided to take that meal and thereafter await death to take her and her son.

God, who had seen her plight and heard her cries, sent help from above, but initially she was too engrossed in her hopelessness. Finally she took God’s way of escape and received a miracle: what would have sufficed for one meal, not only fed her household, but sustained them for a whole year without diminishing.

You could have the benefit of the miracle of the last meal too. Whenever you get to a point where you have virtually exhausted all and have a little left, be it money or foodstuffs, do not eat alone. Resolve to use that little to generate the abundance you desire. Cry to God in faith to multiply it, then sow it to God in the church or to His servant. Release your faith and expect an immediate intervention. The Lord will not disappoint you.

‘Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruit of your righteousness’ (2 Cor 9:10).

That point where you have little or nothing left is actually a turning point in your life. It could become a breakthrough when you decide to let God have his way.
