THE GOD OF THE LAST MOMENTS

1 Kings 18:1-16

God knew the issue of the widow and God met the widow at the point of her need. The widow had given up hope saying I might as well eat one last time and feed my son one last time and die. (What this woman was going through in this age can be equated to your dreams and the plans which you have for your life, you might have given up and you are saying I have tried it all and have failed at it all...now I am going to try one last time and if this plan does not work I will just let go of my dream and bury it...But tonight He is the God of the last moments). 

Allow me to look at this incident through the eyes of the child. The son has seen the depression of the face of the mother, the toiling, the tears, the hurt...the nights where the mother had to explain why they were no like other families...(Your dreams speak to you and ask, what about me? Why have you abandoned me? And they need a response...either stand up or achieve them or let them die and perish in silence), the son saw his mother go through the motions.

Then the servant of God came and required something from a woman that she could not afford to give. (Whenever God wants to release a MAJOR BLESSING over your life, He will require something from you that your natural nature will try reason against. He asked Abraham to sacrifice the very same son from whom a lineage was supposed to come, now that's a SACRIFICE - SACRIFICIAL GIVING MOVES THE HEART IF HOD IN YOUR FAVOR!)  

So the woman of God gave and obeyed what Elijah was saying and in so doing she made sure that her and her house were taken care of. Imagine if she had refused to do what God had instructed,  she would have enjoyed her last meal and died in peace. OBEYING GOD IS BENEFICIAL BECAUSE WHEN HE RELEASES A BLESSING FOR YOU IT WILL ALSO BLESS YOUR FAMILY AND THOSE AROUND YOU!!

THE GOD OF THE LAST MOMENT - NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, GOD WILL MEET YOU AT THE POINT OF YOUR NEED AND RELEASE A BLESSING OVER YOUR LIFE THAT WILL SUSTAIN YOU AND YOUR FAMILY - JUST OBEY!!
