I may not be perfect, but Jesus thinks I’m to die for.
Dear Saints,
When your bird dies and your brook dries up
Many of you are in a place where God has hidden you, but suddenly your bird dies and the brook dries up and you get fearful of what to do next. We live in hard times, Your money does not quite go as far as it used to. The rent is due and you just lost your job. God had you at the brook and sent ravens to feed you now He has dried up the brook. This happened to Elijah. We have been living off the fat of the land. Maybe your ministry feels like it is drying up. You think satan is attacking you. But brother and sister in Christ let me tell you it is the Lord. And He has prepared a place where provision is positioned for you. Lets read Elijah’s story.
1Ki 17:2 And the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
1Ki 17:3 Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, before Jordan.
1Ki 17:4 And it shall be, you shall drink of the brook. And I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
1Ki 17:5 So he went and did according to the Word of Jehovah. For he went and lived by the torrent Cherith, before Jordan.
1Ki 17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.
1Ki 17:7 And it happened after a while, the torrent dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
1Ki 17:8 And the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,
1Ki 17:9 Arise, go to Zarephath which belongs to Sidon, and live there. Behold, I have commanded a widow to keep you there.
1 Ki 17:10 And he arose and went to Zarephath, and came in to the entrance of the city, and, behold, the widow was gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Please, bring me a little water in a vessel so that I may drink.
1Ki 17:11 And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, Please, bring me a piece of bread in your hand.
1Ki 17:12 And she said, as Jehovah your God lives, I do not have a cake, but only a handful of meal in a pitcher and a little oil in a jar. And behold, I am gathering two sticks, so that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, so that we may eat it and die.
1Ki 17:13 And Elijah said to her, Do not fear, go. Do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it, and bring it to me. And then make for you and for your son.
1Ki 17:14 For so says Jehovah, the God of Israel, The pitcher of meal shall not be emptied, nor shall the jar of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sends rain on the earth.
You see God has a widow for you, but everyone is having a hard time. She gave a little of what she had and God blessed her and she fed Elijah until the rain came. Until it was time for him to move again. Consider giving a little of what you have to someone who is also struggling and God will bless you both. Remember the widow that gave all she had and Jesus said she would be more blessed than the others that gave of their abundance. Sometimes we have to give of our last and then trust the Lord.
So if your bird has died and your brook has dried up, it is time to move. Move to where God has provided for you. We tend to stay with the dried up brook, be it a job, a church, whatever it is, the situation has come to the point where God says MOVE. It may be that God does not want that to be physical, but He wants you to move into HIS WILL. Find that place and occupy that and the container of meal will not run empty and oil pot will not run dry. Cry out to the Lord in your situation and find out what it is that He requires in this season and you will be in His supply line. He did say that it would not be easy to serve Him. But He will never leave you nor forsake you. If your bird has died and your brook has dried up and you do not know what to do, then maybe your relationship with the Lord needs to be renewed, go deeper, step out for in faith. Peter would not have walked on water if he had not stepped out of the boat. Get out of your comfort zone and trust God and He will supply all you need for this season.
May your pitcher of meal never be empty and jar of oil, never fail. Be blessed this week and please pray for Israel.
Shalom.
