KINGS 17:10-16
When Elijah
met the widow and asked her to prepare him a meal, placed God first by her last
meal but first make a little cake for him, she obeyed (1 Kings 17:10-16). The
widow gave her last meal, and this led to her breakthrough. What she though was
her last meal became the beginning of unending supplies. Are you left with your
last change, or meal? Do you think you will die? You shall not die. The Lord
will turn your lack into abundance.
From this story, God used a stone to kill three birds. With the last meal, the Lord fed Elijah, the widow and her son for over two years. What took place beyond our physical eyes was that as the last meal was presented to God, an angel simply took it to the Heavenly bakery and multiplied it in several folds to last them throughout the drought.
In Matthew 14:15-21, a similar event took place. A multitude of 5000 men besides women and children had gathered in a desert to listen to Jesus. That evening, there was no place to buy food. Jesus asked the disciples to feed them but they had only five loaves of bread and two fishes: He received the provision, looked up to His Father, and blessed the food. Immediately an angel took them to the heavenly bakery and multiplied them. By the time they finished eating all were filled, yet there were an excess of twelve baskets full. In Mark 8:1-9, the Lord repeated the same miracle.
Why? He was trying to make us know that He is still the Jehovah Jireh of the Old Testament and that anything He had done before He can do again. If only you can reach out to Him in faith and give Him what you have, He will use what you have to give you what you desire. Can you trust Him with your life, property, finances and family today? He will not disappoint those who put their trust in Him. Whatever little you have can become the link to an abundant supply. The Lord can turn your lack into abundance. Call on Him without doubting.

JOB 38:41 –Who provides for the raven its food? When its young ones cry to God,
they wander for lack of meat.
