Let The Anointing Of The Spirit Handle

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full (2 Kings 4:1-4).

What an inspiring story to learn from in such times as these! Elisha asked for what the widow had in her house, and she said she didn’t have anything but a pot of oil (2 Kings 4:2). She could have said she didn’t have anything at all, but she recognised the oil as an important asset.

The Prophet Elisha then, instructed the woman on what to do with the oil in 2 Kings 4:3-4. He said she shouldn’t borrow vessels from her neighbours, shut herself and her sons in and “…pour into all these vessels; and when one is full, set it aside…” (2 Kings 4:4).

Notice the term “pour” chosen by the Holy Spirit in the Scripture. We know it’s the oil that’s in context here, and that was what she poured.

Here is what God would have us learn from that story; you know oil as used in the Scriptures symbolically alludes to the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So, in your life, your greatest asset is the Holy Spirit, who has anointed you with power to confront and prevail over all the challenges of life.

When you’re facing challenges, you’ve got what it takes to handle the situation—and that’s the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

All you need do is shut yourself in and begin to pour out the power of the Holy Spirit from within you, by speaking in other tongues and releasing words of power. As you declare God’s Word in prayer and under that anointing, you’ll surely have a miracle. Blessed be God!
