But I'm telling you it's just not for the women today is for the men that are here today. It's for the young men that are here today.
Coming from the 2nd Kings 4:1 through 7 superintendent, read the scripture today, but I'm going to reread it to you. Now, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, cry to Elijah your serving. My husband is dead. And you know, that you're serving feared, the Lord, but the Creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves. And Elijah said to her, what shall I do for you? Tell me. What do you have? In your house. And she said, your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil. And he said go outside borrow vessels from all of your neighbors. Empty vessels and not too few. Then go in and shut the door behind yourself in your sons and pour into all of these vessels. And when there's one is full set in the side. So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured, they brought the vessel to her and bring me another. And he said to her, there is not another.
Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the man of God and he said to her go. Silicone oil and pay your debts. And you and your son's can live on the rest. Radio, the Lord. Put yourself in her shoes.
Mother. Her husband has just died. And you are left with the debt. To try to pay it off, you sell all of your belongings. But you still don't have enough money. Justice useless jar of oil is left on top of all this collector. Still wants his money. And he threatens to send your child, your children into slavery. Product product description. Your kids are going to be taken away from you, if you can let this happen.
There seems to be no hope. You decide to talk to Elijah? Hoping hoping there is something that he can do for you, but its hands are tied. He doesn't know how to help you.
You pick up your things and you prepare to leave.
Elijah you a question. Change your life. What do you have in the house?
The question of the prophets transcends a silence in space and time. As important to us. Now as it was back, then especially close to Mother's Day. If we
Question, what do you have in your house?
Remember Miracle stories exist. The teacher has to teach us a lesson be on the face value of the text. This story is a bona fide marriage. 2 *.
The point is not merely that the oil has multiplied. The part of the text is that the mother was able to save her children. She was able to provide for their future and she was able to bless the community. The Legacy. Listen here. Then I liked it. See what's located in the house in mama's house.
You see the oil was in the house and she knew where it was. What do you have in your house? The Bill Collector was there ready to take the kids away to pay Mama's death. What do you have in your house? It's got to be understood. As a loaded question to come to Elijah and say the bill collectors are ready to take my children away. What's the say? She stole everything she had? Everything, she had a value. So then, What does Elijah mean? By asking, what do you have in your house? She has something of value left. And the only way he knew. Was that God revealed it to him? Tune asking the question, Elijah's letting the mother know God knew her situation and he was at work on it.
But there's no way Elijah new it. But what was it? You see she sold the Xbox. The iPad, the laptops, the furniture, the appliance even gave up her cell phone and all of her jewelry.
So, the real question is, what was left.
What did she valued more than her worldly? Possessions? What couldn't she bear to part with? That's what I like, I should. Was talking about. He wanted to know what she had stashed away. What was worth keeping back? It was a jar of oil mixture with spices and the recipe was told you and exiting his 30, go back and read it. Someday. She answers, all I have left.
This jar of oil can save your children. This jar of oils can save her children. Mexican future and it can bless the community. Listen. I can tell you what you need to do to save your children and help your community.
No, it's not your jewelry. It's not your stocks. It's not your bonds. It's not your expensive gadgets. It isn't among the stuff that's in your house. What's in your house is a jar of oil? The jar of oil represents the Legacy brother. Chris represents the hopes of your family brother, Chris, and hope it holds the dream superintendent.
Of those who have gone on before you. It's already there in the house in your home, waiting for us to put it to use. In fact. It's more than enough to say just your children and it stashed away in the corner from the house, but we got to climb it. We got to lay our fingers on a brother. We will.
Let us by our forefathers and our for mother.
We need to lay our hands on Mama's oil.
Bounce around back here. Let me ask you.
Do you know what you're thinking? Where does Brothers in, man? Can you identify the jar of oil that was given to us by those who have gone on before us?
Divine.
Define strategy. It's a borrow the empty vessels from your neighbors. And once the mother acknowledges that she has a jar of oil.
Elijah says, who were the first three and I'm paraphrasing going borrow as many empty vessels as you can from your neighbor's, bring those vessels home and fill them all.
Asia.
Take your legacy. And pour it out into the empty vessels.
Pour it out behind the closed doors. Only let a few people know it first and do it with your close family, doing with your children in the bottom line. Is, you want to save your children or not. Do you want to save your children are not even more than we asked for?
Only wanted to save her children. Pay her debts. We need to trust the planners to trust the plan. Where I know the plans I have for you says the Lord plans of peace and not of evil to give you a hug for the future.
Are you with me? Go to Jeremiah 29:11 to your head drost, planner trust the plan a family.
Let's see from God.
He said go outside and borrow vessels from all of your neighbors and thought of you.
Then go in and shut the door behind you and your children and start pouring out into these vessels. When each is full, set it aside and we she left him and shut the door behind her. And her children. They kept bringing her a man.
And after all the vessels were gathered, the mother brought her children inside and began working with the family Legacy.
Don't you see them in the kitchen? I don't know about you, but I remember learning a whole lot of the life lessons with my mama. In the kitchen, helping her do whatever she was doing at the time. Come on now, since you remember those days mama and I would talk as she work, or she baked, or she cooked or she clean. Family's Legacy.
Holy anointing oils and it was his father before him. I am magic in the kids. Ask Mama. Are they going to take us away?
No, baby. Let me worry about that. Just go ahead and get another vessel. This one is full. And don't miss this. Participated in their own Deliverance, mama taught them that they are too with their legs.
Your Father's Day.
Talk to them about promised to supply every need.
To pay off the debt to take care of your problem in life. See, the text doesn't tell us how many vessels they had to fill it out. But right up until the last message was Phil. Then the oil stop. What's your life is about? And that's good news, says her children, and then she shared a little Penny, turns it into more than enough that God has turned on little man has turned it into a
Abundantly above all that we can even ask, share your legacy with your, your children, your community. Hitman Legacy the Legacy and in community, but that oil was all. So secret Mama's. Mama's raised their children Mama's who disciplined their children Mama's, who change their communities Mama's? Who knew Jesus? Those with a mama's. Those are The Mamas who have some oil. What type of God?
Mama.
We've done got too cute. Trying everything, but the presence of God, but the presence of God, that will save our children and Revitalize our communities. My God, Let the church say
