2 Kings 4:1-7 Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV)
2 Reyes 4:1-7 Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV)
4 Cierto día, la viuda de un miembro del grupo de profetas fue a ver a Eliseo y clamó:
—Mi esposo, quien te servía, ha muerto, y tú sabes cuánto él temía al Señor; pero ahora ha venido un acreedor y me amenaza con llevarse a mis dos hijos como esclavos.
2 —¿Cómo puedo ayudarte?
—preguntó Eliseo—.
Dime, ¿qué tienes en tu casa?
—No tengo nada, solo un frasco de aceite de oliva —contestó ella.
3 Entonces Eliseo le dijo:
—Pídeles a tus amigos y vecinos que te presten todas las jarras vacías que puedan.
4 Luego ve a tu casa con tus hijos y cierra la puerta.
Vierte en las jarras el aceite de oliva que tienes en tu frasco y cuando se llenen ponlas a un lado.
5 Entonces ella hizo lo que se le indicó.
Sus hijos le traían las jarras y ella las llenaba una tras otra.
6 ¡Pronto todas las jarras estaban llenas hasta el borde!
Here is a widow who is truly running on empty.... she had run out of a whole lot of things.
—Tráeme otra jarra —le dijo a uno de sus hijos.
—¡Ya no hay más! —le respondió.
Al instante, el aceite de oliva dejó de fluir.
7 Cuando ella le contó al hombre de Dios lo que había sucedido, él le dijo: «Ahora vende el aceite de oliva y paga tus deudas; tú y tus hijos pueden vivir de lo que sobre».
Here is a widow who is truly running on empty.... she had run out of a whole lot of things.
+ her husband had died.
+ She was not only a widow, but a young widow.
We know she was young because she had young children.
+ there was no doubt that life has and is hard for her..
+ She had also run out of money, she no longer had the means to support herself and her family.
+ Now that her husband was gone, she had no way to pay her husband’s creditors.
SHE HAD NOT ONLY RUN OUT OF CASH... BUT SHE MIGHT ALSO LOSE HER CHILDREN.
In spite of all her problems, she still held firm to her faith!
She needs help, but she does not turn to her family or her friends.
She does not try to find someone to loan her more money.
In her desperation she turns to the man of God for help.
It would have been easy for Elisha to have said, “Okay sister, you have suffered enough.
The Lord is going to meet your need.
Just go home and wait for Him to work.”
Instead of taking that course, the Lord chose to give the widow her own miracle.(Elsieo
his closeness with God)
two questions asked by Elisha.(Eliseo)
I. What do you need?
II.
What do you have?
By those two questions, this woman was made to see the size of her need and the smallness of her own resources.
She needed everything and she had very little.
She needed much, but she could not possibly meet her own needs.
Its not my power but by the spirit..
(Por esas dos preguntas, a esta mujer se le hizo ver el tamaño de su necesidad y la pequeñez de sus propios recursos.
Lo necesitaba todo y tenía muy poco.
Necesitaba mucho, pero no podía satisfacer sus propias necesidades.
No es por poder propio sino por la gracia de Dios.
Often God will use the trials, heartaches and burdens of life to bring us to the place where we can honestly see our need and our own inability to meet it.
(A menudo, Dios usará las pruebas, las angustias y las cargas de la vida para llevarnos al lugar donde podamos ver honestamente nuestra necesidad y nuestra propia incapacidad para satisfacerla.)
Elisha’s second question: “What do you have in the house?” was designed to teach this widow that it may not have looked like she had much, but in reality, she already had everything she needed to obtain what she wanted.
(La segunda pregunta de Eliseo: “¿Qué tienes en la casa?” Fue diseñada para enseñarle a esta viuda que no parecía que tuviera mucho, pero en realidad, ella ya tenía todo lo que necesitaba para obtener lo que quería.)
She couldn’t see it, but God had already given her the very thing He would use to meet her need.
Her answer to Elisha is to tell him that all she has is “a pot of oil”.
(Ella no podía verlo, pero Dios ya le había dado la misma cosa que usaría para satisfacer su necesidad.
Su respuesta a Eliseo es decirle que todo lo que ella tiene es "una olla de aceite".)
This oil was probably a small amount of anointing oil, used by the prophets to anoint the men of God.
The widow is told to go to all her neighbors and borrow all the empty vessels that she can get her hands on.
Entonces Eliseo le dijo:
Entonces Eliseo le dijo:
—Pídeles a tus amigos y vecinos que te presten todas las jarras vacías que puedan.
“empty” is the key word in this story.
The prophet did not tell her to go try and borrow food from neighbors / oil (like money back then) / money / get a loan…he said to go and borrow as many empty jars as possible
The miracle is in the emptiness… there is something powerful in the empty areas of our lifes .. why because that is when the miracle begins ..
(El milagro está en el vacío ... hay algo poderoso en las áreas vacías de nuestras vidas ... por qué, porque es cuando comienza el milagro .)
This widow did what exactly she was told!
The Preacher said "Go!"
And she went.
Faith moved in that widow’s heart.
She obeyed the Lord; she borrowed the vessels and she and her sons shut themselves up in the house and trusted God to do what He had promised to do.
Can you imagine the scene in that little home that day?
There is that mother with her sons and all those empty vessels sitting all over that house.
Elisha also said "Borrow vessels!"(empty ones)
And she did.
He even told her "Shut thy door!"
Notice first that the widow is to do her work in private.
Have you ever thought about that?
..This part really spoke to me … he told her shut the door… church its going to get real for bit…
He said for her to include her sons.
Include your kids in the miracle.. teach them..
She picks up that flask of oil and one of those boys says, “Mom, what are you doing with that oil?
Why did you have us borrow all those vessels from the neighbors?”
And she says “Boys, I don’t have all the answers, but I believe the Lord is about to do something great in our home.
Your daddy didn’t leave us much, but he did leave us this little flask of oil.
The man of God said that we were to get us all the vessels we could get.
Boys, God is going to fill every one of these vessels out of this little flask.”
With that, they hand her the first vessel and she fills it up.
She fills up one after the other and oil just keeps pouring out of that little bottle until every vessel was filled.
One point… Eliseo was not there with them this miracle was for them and this demonstrared that the miracle haoppened by Gods power only…
Then he commanded her to "Pour the oil!"
So she poured (and poured and poured)!
Church we got to do the action and just pour don’t think about if the promise God give you will come to pass .. no you got to pour like its done … ya esta…
I think I'll say this about her: She did ALL that she was commanded!
What a testimony that is!
ALL that she was commanded!
Just notice with me that the oil flowed as long as there were empty vessels!
(Solo noten conmigo que el aceite fluyó todo el tiempo que hubo Vasijas vacíos.)
The OIL was not exhausted!
That supply never ended!The number of empty vessels was diminished.
