Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: At your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
- 0:03Speaker 1: in his time for today's word. I want you to
- 0:06Speaker 1: increase your capacity. Second King's four and three says Elijah said,
- 0:11Speaker 1: go around and acts all your neighbors for empty jars.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Don't ax for just a few. In Second Kings, the
- 0:19Speaker 1: creditors were coming to take a poor widow's two sons
- 0:23Speaker 1: as payment for her bills. All she had, y'all, all
- 0:27Speaker 1: she had of value was a small jar of oil.
- 0:32Speaker 1: The prophety Elijah told this woman, go act your neighbors,
- 0:38Speaker 1: all of them for empty jars. He specifically said, don't
- 0:42Speaker 1: ax for just a few. When she poured her oil
- 0:47Speaker 1: in them, y'all had just kept flowing over it kept
- 0:50Speaker 1: just pouring, kept pouring. She just had a small jar now.
- 0:54Speaker 1: But once she gathered all these jars from her neighbors,
- 0:57Speaker 1: the more she poured, the more oil appere come I
- 1:00Speaker 1: own Jesus. When she poured that oil, she kept pouring
- 1:04Speaker 1: until all the jars were full that she had. Because
- 1:07Speaker 1: if she had more jars, she still would have been
- 1:09Speaker 1: able to pour more oil. She was able to sell
- 1:12Speaker 1: that oil and then still have plenty of money to
- 1:15Speaker 1: pay her bills come own g Thus, the principle that
- 1:22Speaker 1: God is showing us is going to feel containerus for you.
- 1:27Speaker 1: He's gonna do it for you. So don't just bring
- 1:29Speaker 1: a few containers to him. As much as you bring
- 1:32Speaker 1: to him is as much as he's going to feel.
- 1:34Speaker 1: It's according to your faith. See, it's not a supply problem,
- 1:37Speaker 1: it's a capacity problem. So I want to encourage you
- 1:40Speaker 1: today increase your capacity to receive from God. Go ahead,
- 1:44Speaker 1: don't just bring him a few bring him everything. Bring
- 1:47Speaker 1: as much as you can carry, and come on Jesus.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Too often we let disappointments, we let heart break, we
- 1:53Speaker 1: let delays or things that haven't worked out lower our expectations. No,
- 1:58Speaker 1: the devil is a liar. We're not increasing our capacity,
- 2:02Speaker 1: not believing for great things because we don't want to
- 2:05Speaker 1: be disappointed. Uh, let me ask you a question. Are
- 2:10Speaker 1: you putting limits on what God wants to do in
- 2:13Speaker 1: your life? Are you focused on what things limit you?
- 2:18Speaker 1: On what you can do in your own strength? Y'all?
- 2:21Speaker 1: God has an unlimited supply for all of our needs.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So don't base it on your containers on what you
- 2:29Speaker 1: can do, base it on what God can do. Increase
- 2:33Speaker 1: your capacity to receive. Come on, Jesus Father, thank you
- 2:38Speaker 1: that you are the most high God. You've given us gifts,
- 2:41Speaker 1: You've given us talents, you've given us resources. Thank you
- 2:45Speaker 1: that you can take what seems like it's not enough
- 2:48Speaker 1: for our needs and you can make it flow into abundance. God,
- 2:51Speaker 1: we believe that you're going to multiply what we have
- 2:55Speaker 1: and show out in our lives. In Jesus' name. Now
- 2:58Speaker 1: that's your word for today. You to take it, apply
- 3:01Speaker 1: to your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged
- 3:03Speaker 1: to end inspired. It's early morning praise party. I am
- 3:06Speaker 1: Sherry Mackie.
