Borrow Many Empty Vessels

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

She was instructed to borrow vessels, specifically empty vessels. Why was she instructed to borrow empty vessels and many empty vessels? The empty vessels were the instruments for packaging the oil which she did not even own then. She could not have owned them because all she had was a jar of oil so she did not even need the vessels then. She had little oil but that same little oil was about to multiply and compound into an oil factory that would produce and package oil for sales, money making, freedom from debt and financial freedom.

Borrow empty vessels. She was asked to borrow the empty vessels because she could not afford them and they were a much needed requirement that would help propel her and her two sons into financial freedom. The empty vessels were required to package the oil and significantly the presence, absence as well as the quantity of empty vessels determined the scope of multiplication and compounding – no empty vessels, no overflow for multiplication and compounding. Remember that the oil stopped flowing when the borrowed empty vessels were filled up (verses 3 to 6).

So she went around her neighbours and everywhere and borrowed many empty vessels – wherever you can get the required platforms to create, to produce what you need to produce at no cost to you. The divine deposits of God in you will multiply and compound beyond your wildest imagination if you have many empty vessels. 

Do You Desire Inexhaustible Wealth?

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is still in the business of making impossibilities possibilities. Please see Luke Chapter 1 verse 37, Mark Chapter 10 verse 27, Jeremiah Chapter 32 verse 27, 17, Daniel Chapter 2, Esther Chapter 7, Exodus Chapter 14, Ephesians Chapter 3 verse 20, Luke Chapter 18 verse 27, and Psalm 62 verse 12.

You need inexhaustible wealth? Then you should answer the question - what can you presently trade in and exchange for wealth?  The widow of the indebted prophet in 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7 traded in a jar of oil for inexhaustible wealth. God compounded a limited resource set aside for domestic purposes – cooking to an unlimited resource for money making activities. God compounded the jar of oil into several vessels of oil because the woman obeyed divine instructions. A woman who had nothing as it were; was in an unpleasant and impossible situation; without any visible means of livelihood suddenly became an oil merchant because God intervened in her situation.

God gave her an endless supply of divine resources – the oil kept flowing as long as she had vessels to fill because the oil was coming from an unlimited overflowing source that never runs out irrespective of economic temperatures in the world. Though the situation the woman and her two sons found themselves in was unpleasant and embarrassing, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, an opportunity masked as problems and challenges that became stepping stones to financial abundance and total freedom from debts. They were never again in debt as their income from the divine surplus of oil resources exceeded their expenditure so that they had more than enough to live on for the rest of their lives. There was no reason to borrow from anyone to live on like their late father and husband did. The situation ended the issue of indebtedness that was fast progressing into a generational issue and debt bondage in their lineage. God reversed the evil to good by replacing financial lack with financial abundance that would last generations. With the flow of oil God ensured financial transformation from indebtedness and lack to financial abundance and overflow.

Decisions Decide Wealth 2

Borrowing is often a symptom of impatience and impatience usually births hasty actions such as borrowing at high interest rates. As much as possible, always seek the face of God before borrowing money. When the indebted prophet’s widow cried to Elisha, Elisha did not instruct her to borrow money to repay the loan that had culminated in debt bondage for her two sons. Instead, he asked her what she had at home. She replied that she had a jar of oil. That was all Elisha required - something the woman could hold on to and trade in for the very urgently required financial resources to offset her late husband’s debt so that her two sons would not go into debt bondage.

You may argue that Elisha asked her to borrow vessels. Beloved, those were resources she would need to house the multiplying oil to the capacity that would fetch the money to pay off the debt as well as generate sufficient money for her and her sons to live on. These vessels would also serve to package the oil for sale to her neighbours and as the oil was sold for money, the vessels would be returned to the owners. This way, she would access vessels at no extra cost and earn money from what she had.

Borrowing should always be at the clear leading of God and not necessarily the circumstances that appear insurmountable.
