In second Kings chapter 4 we see the story of the miracle of the oil filling all the vessels that were in the house.
Elisha instructed the woman to gather as many vessels as she could and to shut the door and to pour what she had into the empty vessels.
God is a multiplying God and he works with something that we have. We talked about multiplication and how zero times 100 is still zero. God multiplies but he does need something from us to multiply we see that in the miracle of the bread and the fish and the many times in the New testament where it said that your faith has made you whole. When God finds someone that will work with him he multiplies what they have.
It's like it says in Ephesians he is able to do exceedingly abundantly immeasurably above all that we could ask or think according to the power that works in us.
God wants to expand the limits that we put upon him to work in our life on our behalf.
What type of responses have we had when the question is asked, what do you have?
Is there a moment where you've seen God multiply what you gave him?
How have you expanded your limits?
What part of the word came alive to you?
