The Prophet’s Meal, said well, can you, can you imagine what the newspapers would have said? Stealing from the widows. Prophet–Prophet steals widow’s last meal.
That’s what the newspapers would say today. And the widow didn’t understand. But Elijah gave her the Word of God. He said, “Little woman, if you will do what I say, if you will give me the first part for the Lord’s work, then here’s what will happen. Thus saith the Lord, the meal in your barrel will not diminish. The oil in your cruse shall not fail.” And the little woman, Lindsay, did what he said. Now there’s a point of obedience in your life and in my life.
There’s a point of obedience when you don’t understand what you feel God is impressing you to do. You don’t understand why. Sometime in your life Jesus is going to ask you to do something that you may not understand. But get into obedience and do it.
The widow didn’t understand. Here she was fixing her last supper and then she was going to die. You know, you can make a decision to die. The little woman said, “I am going to cook this last meal and I’m going to die.” And the prophet said, “Give me the first part. And thus saith the Lord, your meal barrel shall not diminish and your cruse of oil shall not fail.” And, Lindsay, the widow did what the prophet said.
