Debts she couldn't pay

Really quickly, we just had our Adelaide ecclesia's get together this weekend and we looked at the woman who came to the Man of God because her creditors were going to take away her two sons as she couldn't pay up the money she owed her husbands creditors.
In faith she went to the man of God, knowing that he was the only salvation to be found.
When he asked her what she had inside the house, she only had a pot of oil in the house. She'd sold everything else to try and get rid of the debt, but she couldn't do it by herself. Made me wonder if the trial had been so great that she'd gotten rid of every other distraction in her life, and was clinging to the only thing she knew that could help her. Her pot of oil.
Faith requires action, and act she did. When we labour - God gives the increase.
She asked her neighbours for vessels to fill her house, until there were no vessels left. Her faithful neighbours helpe remove the burden of the debt. Are we helping to ease the burden of those struggling around us?

If vessels = people, then we need to fill those around us with the oil of the word. So that when the man of God comes, he will cancel our debt.

When she went and sold the oil given, she ended up with an abundance! She got more than she asked for. She was given life.

This little story really moved me the other weekend. I hope you can think about it a little after ready my version of it, read 1 or 2 Kings 4v1-7. It's a really beautiful story that we can learn so much from. We have no release from our debts until we come to Christ.

I'm glad that we can be quite certain Christ's return is near, so that the man of God can cancel our huge debt.
Then we can be together praising God perfectly together, preaching the word to ALL in full assurance that Christ IS in the earth, and wants all to submit to his just and righteous rule.
