1st Kings 17:13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
Now brethren, consider the following statement the servant of God writes, for it is a very weighted one, in which is the secret of recovery from many of the troubles and debts we find ourselves in, both on the personal and national level. [Christ’s Object Lessons pp 360] We are to work on the plan of addition, and God will work for us on the plan of multiplication. These littles will become the most precious influences in His work.
Question: In the context of ballooning national and personal debt, what would be the plan of addition? The plan of addition is encapsulated in the following mantra that nations, families and individuals should live by: God first, others next, self, last. In an era of me first philosophies, this might seem like a stretch, but it could be the beginning of recovery from debts and all of the troubles associated with debt.
The following are a few instructions, coming from The Lord to us and if we humble ourselves and listen to His voice, he will respond by working on the plan of multiplication, as He has spoken through His own servant. [1] Whatever you do, in your efforts to get out of debt, never ever rob God or His cause. In addition, let the springs of benevolence and love be active, as valid needs might arise from time to time. In other words, let not your debts be the reason why you cannot contribute to God’s cause, or help others.
1st Kings 17:14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
