Summary: We dont know what can and will do if we just listen to him and obey him.
SHUT THE DOOR AND LISTEN
2 Kings 4
1Now 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.
2And 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.
3Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4And 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.
5So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6And 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.
7Then 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.
1.Go now
3Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
Not one are two
Get all they have
Prepare for the working of the Lord
Follow instructions as you are told
2. Once you have all the vessels you can get go in
4And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons
Get behind the door and listen
Bring your family with you
Now stand still and listen what you are to do
3.Now do it
4and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
Now see the Lord work
Start filling
Move aside those that are full
Don’t stop till all the empty’s are full
Watch Gods Grace bless you
1 cruse you can fill all the empties
See the Lord blessing up on you
4 Think you are going to run out wait
6And 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.
Every thing full
None left
When she called for another her son said there is no more
And the oil stayed
God never takes a blessing from us he just keeps giving
5. Now tell the man of God
7Then 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.
Go sell
Pay your bills
Put the rest up to live on
