(Show Me What Your Working With)

2 Kings 4:1-7 (KJV)

1 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.

2 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.

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours,

even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 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.

5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons,

who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her

son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel

more. And the oil stayed.

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil,

and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

VERY BRIEFLY I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT

(SHOW ME WHAT YOUR WORKING WITH)

OUR FOCUS THIS MORNING

/EVENING

IS ABOUT PERPECTIVE ON HOW WE LOOK AT LIFE

BECAUSE IN 2022 WE ALL HAD TO DEAL WITH SOME DEPRESSIVE ISSUES

IN OTHER WORDS

THERE WAS SOME TIMES WE DID`NT FELL LIKE

SAYING WE`RE BLESS AND HIGHLY FAVORED IN THE LORD

SOMETIMES WE DID`NT FEEL LIKE SAYING AMEN

BECAUSE LIFE CAN TACKLE US SO

WHERE WE BEGIN TO FEEL LIKE IT`S ALL ON US AND LESS ON GOD

BUT AS CHILDREN OF GOD

WE MUST REMEMBER THAT GOD IS JEHOVAH JIREH

AND HE STILL IS A PRO --VID-ER

IN OTHER WORDS

PRO MEANS AHEAD

AND VIDE IS WHERE WE GET THE WORD VIDEO

WHICH MEANS SEE

WHICH SUGGEST TO US

THAT GOD HAS ALREADY SEEN AHEAD

THAT WHY WE DON`T NEED TO BE WALKING AROUND STRESS OUT

BUT WE NEED TO BE SHOWING GOD WHAT WE WORKING WITH

IN OTHER WORD

WE DON`T HAVE TIME TO BE WATCHING EMPIRE

BECAUSE WE OUGHT TO BE BUSY BUILDING ONE FOR GOD

WE OUGHT NOT MISS BIBLE CLASS TO WATCH POWER

BUT WE OUGHT TO COME TO THE HOUSE OF PRAYER WHERE THERE IS POWER

BUT I WANTED TO TALK ON PERPECTIVE

BECAUSE WE ALL WENT THROUGH SOME TESTS IN 2021

HAD TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE

JUDGING YOU IN JANUARY

FRUSTRATED IN FEBURARY

HAD A RUN IN WITH SOME MESSY PEOPLE IN MARCH

AGGRAVATED IN APRIL

MAD IN MAY

HAD TO DEAL WITH JEALOUS FOLK IN JUNE AND JULY

RAN INTO ADVERSITY IN AUGUST

STRUGGLED IN SEPTEMBER

HAD TO FACE SOME OBSTABLES IN OCTOBER

HAD TO DEAL WITH SOME NOSY FOLK`S IN NOVEMBER

THE ENEMY TRIED TO SET YOU UP IN DECEMBER

BECAUSE HIS WILES IS TO KEEP US FOCUS ON THE THINGS WE

DON`T HAVE

TO KEEP US FROM WORKING WITH THE THINGS WE DO HAVE

BECAUSE IN THE MIDIST OF OUR NOTHINGNESS

THERE`S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT GOD CAN USE FOR HIS GLORY

AND IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD IF YOU GOT JESUS

YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED

THATS WHY WE OUGHT TO BE SHOWING GOD WHAT WE`RE

WORKING WITH

OUR TEXT OUR TEXT

IS CENTERED AROUND A WOMAN WHOSE

HUSBAND HAS DIED

AND THE CREDITORS HAVE COME FOR HER SONS

SO SHE GOES TO THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP

AND TELLS ELISHA

YOUR SERVANT MY HUSBAND IS DEAD

IN OTHER WORDS SHE USES SOME REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY TO INVITE ELISHA INTO HER PROBLEM

NOTICE --- NOTICE ---NOTICE

SHE DOSE`NT SAY MY HUSBAND YOUR SERVANT

BUT SHE SAYS

YOUR SERVANT MY HUSBAND

IN OTHER WORDS SHE WAS LETTING ELISHA KNOW

HE WAS APART OF THE

PROPHETIC BUT HIS FINANCING WAS PATHETIC

IN OTHER WORDS

HE KNEW HOW TO BORROW MONEY BUT HE HAD A

PROBLEM WHEN IT CAME TO PAYING IT BACK

BUT IN RETURN ELISHA INVITES HER TO BE APART OF THE SOLUTION

FOR THE TEXT REVEALS

THAT HE ASK HER A QUESTION

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOUSE

AND SHE SAYS NOTHING EXCEPT A LITTLE POT OF OIL

AND IT`S IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND

THAT IN THE HEBREW CULTURE

THAT WHEN A PERSON VISTED SOMEONE HOME

EACH HOME HAD A SERVANT AT THE DOOR WHO WOULD WASH YOUR FEET IN A WASH POT

WHICH WAS CALLED MOAB WHICH STANDS FOR GOD`S WASH POT

AND AFTER THEY WASH YOUR FEET THEY WOULD
