“Lord, Bless My Pot: Get Ready For an Increase”

2 Kings 4:38-44

When the prophet Elisha came to Gilgal there was a dearth in the land, as his sons were sitting with him. Elisha instructed the servants to get a great pot and seethe for pottage as the servants was gathering herbs for the pot among the herbs was a wild gourd shred into the pot. As the men begin to eat they cried out and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. The prophet Elisha requests some meal and he casted it into the pot and the pottage was poured out for the people to eat.

We must constantly remind ourselves of whose we are, keeping in mind that we are not just anyone we are heirs to the King of Kings members of a Royal Priesthood, and the Blessings of God is life. We are selected by God and we are unique in his sight. Always strengthen our inner man by reminding oneself whose we are. While we were yet sinners Jesus died that we would have his love and grace upon us.

Believing Paul as he spoke in Roman 8:35: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword”. God has transformed us from the world of darkness into the kingdom of the highest, He who has an abundant supply system.

The tribe of Issachar is an awesome example for us to adhere to, they were knowledgeable of the signs of the times and the seasons, we should always have a place in our heart for his people; who is forever blessing us; He is able to bless your pot, expect an increase always putting God first.
