Description
Sufficient Grace for Tears of a Single Parent when Resources Dwindle
By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba
Jeremiah 49:11
“Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; And let your widows trust in Me.”
Deuteronomy 10:18
“He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.”
GOD DOES NOT RUN OUT OF RESOURCES TO HELP YOU
Psalms 24:1
“The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.”
Psalms 50:10-12
“For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine. “If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.”
Matthew 17:27
“Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.””
GOD HOWEVER DOES NOT BLESS IDLE HANDS‼️
Proverbs 21:25
“The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.”
ELISHA DID NOT SUPPLY THE WIDOW’S NEED WHILE SHE WAS IDLE. HE ASKED WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOUSE? GO WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND GOD WILL MULTIPLY IT! LITTLE IS MUCH WHEN GOD IS IN IT.
2 Kings 4:1-4
“A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.””
CHILDREN MUST BE TAUGHT TO WORK
2 Thessalonians 3:10-11
“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.”
2 Kings 4:5-7
“So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.””
THERE IS AN OLD SAYING THAT SAYS “TO WORK IS TO PRAY”
Ephesians 4:28
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Proverbs 13:11
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
