Were you dispossessed? Are you hurt? Betrayed? Are you now abandoned? You are desperate? Have you given up or are you about to? Healing is coming your way today! The poor and desperate widow at the gate of Sarepta and her only son were robbed, wounded and also left to die until God sent her servant to rescue them. He is also sending you help! The story of this desperate woman is one of the most interesting in the entire Bible. She has been grieving the irreparable loss of her husband and possibly the breadwinner for the family. She has been struggling to take care of herself and her only child. And now, there is a food crisis, famine caused by total drought in the land that has left them with one last meal before starving to death. OMG! A poor, starving, desperate, hopeless, depressed widow with a son waiting to die. Jesus Christ! What situation can be worse than this? Tell me. You already know that widowhood is one of the most difficult trials in life. Suddenly you lose your partner, your best friend, your helper, your companion, your glory, your cheerleader, your protector, your pride, your confidante and your counselor and suddenly you become lonely, depressed , naked and single again. I think that is why we are seriously warned to always take good care of the widows among us. This must be in our first line of responsibility as a church and as individuals.
Elijah himself was no better. Like the rest of the Israelites, he was not happy with the wickedness, paganism, demonism, etc., in the nation. Imagine the level of backsliding when the King of Israel lost his mind to marry Jezebel; she the daughter of a pagan king and she also joined her in-laws in satanic Baal worship. He didn’t end there. Ahab also built temples, shrines, and towers to this detestable, demonic, and bloodthirsty pagan god. Jezebel brought demonism, witchcraft, lust, covetousness. She sorcery and fall of the king and the people of Israel. Be careful who you marry or associate with. God seriously warned us not to be yoked together with the wicked because they will surely lead you away from righteousness towards wickedness and destruction. You know the unenviable story and the end of the wicked Ahab and Jezebel and the pain they caused Israel. God used the prophet Elijah to intervene. He closed the sky and shot out. Neither rain nor dew on the earth. Yes, impiety, disobedience, idolatry, occultism, bloodshed can bring drought, curses, punishment, confusion, premature death and lack of progress to individuals, families and individuals. The man of God was led to a stream, where he drank and was miraculously fed by the ravens. But soon the brook dried up and he was again told to go to the city of Sarepta to meet a widow who would support him until the drought ended. A desperate Elijah was directed to meet a distraught widow who was waiting to die. wow! I really can’t understand this God. He did not send him to the palace. He did not send it to the rich or at least to the people who still had provisions for a few days, but to a poor widow who has one last meal to eat and die for. Your miracle, your liberation, your answer is coming from where you did not expect. It will surpass all human imaginations and calculations!
Everything about Elijah and this widow was negative: no water, no food, no help, no future, no hope, and imminent threat of starvation. What is your situation now? Are you willing your right? Are you grieving? Were you betrayed? Is your source or hope dry like that brook? Perhaps the reliable supplies have ceased and the crows (help) are no longer coming? Or do you only have a little left, but after that you will be in a deep crisis? He’s not quite sure if he can survive and move on because of what’s going on right now. Listen now, don’t give up! People have been through the worst situations and have survived them. For sure you will be a living testimony through this. Yes. All these negatives are turning into positives now! As you read this, solutions are being given to you in the name of Jesus! This is not over. I have prayed for you. You will not sink into this! you will not die You will live and shine again! God healing your wounds and also giving you back what you lost. Encourage! Share this message with others, please.
