Read: 2 Kings 4:1-7

2 Kings 4:1-7  Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

MEMORISE:

The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hand refuse to labour (Proverbs 21:25).

EXPOSITION

One cannot live a better life without financial independence. Not being financially independent can be very worrisome. Financial stability contributes to living a life that glorified God. It is not the will of God for us to live our lives in penury. Yet, many children of God don’t have financial independence. They go from one mountain to the other asking for divine blessings, but seemingly to no avail. The truth is that, many pray for financial breakthrough but hardly understand the biblical keys to it. It can be implied from the saying of Jesus Christ in John 8:32 that the truth a man doesn’t know, cannot set him free.

What is financial independence? It is a state in which an individual has enough to live on without having to worry, borrow, or depend on others. It is being able to meet your needs in life, with ease. Financial experts tell us that if you fail to have financial independence at age 40, it is a dangerous signal to you that you are going to be broke at 60, which is the age of retirement.

Let us look at some biblical facts to practise in order to be financially independent. The first among all is for you to have something doing – profession, business, service, career. When the seriously indebted widow of one of the sons of the prophet cried out to Elisha for help, the question he asked her was, ‘What do you have in the house’? The woman obviously had nothing to sell or to work with. No wonder after the God-given miracle of the oil, Elisha instructed her to go sell it in order to pay the debt (2 Kgs. 4:2-7).

The secret of financial independence starts with finding something to do – offering services, selling, etc. Don’t be the lazy or idle type (Prov. 4:23; 22:29). Do not be unnecessarily choosy; start from somewhere. If you start small, God will eventually bless the work of your hand

PRAYER POINTS:

1. I stand against financial problem of any kind in my life, in Jesus’ name.

2. Lord, give me wisdom and power to be financially independent, in Jesus’ name.
