Tithing Up & Tithing Down! 1 Kings 17:13-14

“And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou has said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and thy son. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.” Commentary: Elijah was a prophet that warned King Ahab of a pending drought to come upon the land! God moved Elijah to a brook off the Jordan River for water during the drought and sent a raven to feed him morning and night! However the brook eventually dried up because of the severe drought and the God sent Elijah to a widow and her only son for provision! The widow told Elijah she only had a small bit of flour and oil and she was making that for herself and her son for one last meal and then they were going to die! Elijah told her just give me a little of what you have left and then God will provide for all of us until the drought ends! God is saying have the faith to trust me with a little of what you have and I will multiply it! The little boy with two fish and five loaves was asked of Jesus just give me what you have and I will feed the multitudes! Are you broke and nearly out of gas? God says give me what little is left in the tank and watch me fill it up to overflowing abundance to supply to the nations! Joyce Meyer was sexually abused by her father and thought she had nothing left to give but gave what little was left of her life and God multiplied her ministry to feed the nations! Do not hang unto worthless things that would impede God from releasing blessings to the nations through your life! Who would have thought a widow and her son on their last meal before starvation could benefit from giving a tithe to Elijah the prophet of God also on his last meal before destruction? Whatever you have left great or small give to God and he will multiply it back to you and the overflow to bless people beyond what you could have ever done with it by yourself! Trust God with what you have and he will give you what you do not have! You may think you are too old or too young or too poor or too sick to be of any worth to God but try and see what miracles he will perform in your life as he has done before with so many in history that had the faith to try him and prove him to be the God he claims to be in the scriptures of your Holy Bible! Did you ever notice God’s Prophets suffer with their people! They predict the judgments and the blessings and live with them both among the people! Jesus the suffering servant our best example yet has made away for us to heaven awaiting for the return of those who trust him! Trusting him with our sin and our redemption! James & Hamsa Sasse.
