Enough Oil

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Today is Memorial Monday - The Financial Accelerator. 

Mondays are a reminder that a Memorial Portion, just one very small step of faith, can help you remember that God is with you and He's more than enough. One small step of faith can open up a supernatural flow of whatever you need. 

When Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves, it started with just a little bit of bread and fish. 

When the widow woman was down to her last meal Elijah had her make him a small cake first. 

If finances are tight... Give a few dollars.

If a relationship is strained... Do one small kind act for the person. 

If you are pressed for time... Give away a few minutes to someone else.

If something looks overwhelming take one small step in that direction. 

Here is today's communion meditation.

In Matthew 25 is the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins. 

In this story, the wise women brought extra oil to keep their lights burning, but the foolish ones did not. 

It says in verses 8-9, " And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’  But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves."

In this verse we would often think that the wise thing to do would have been for the wise women to share their oil. But they knew that they first needed to keep their light shining. They knew that they needed enough oil, which is symbolic of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, to keep their fire burning. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us give a memorial portion that is pleasing to him, and to give us understanding into this parable and how to keep our lights burning consistently.
