*Knowledge*: Your Blessing is in Your Sacrifice.

 

*Elijah and the Widow*

*1 Kings 17:8-15* - Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.” And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” So she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”

 

And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.

 

*Your prosperity is tied to advancing the agenda of the Kingdom.*

 

 

 

2. *Mindset*: The “Nevertheless Attitude” is the Evidence of Trust

 

*Luke 5:1-7* - "So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” But Simon answered and said to Him, “*Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.*” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink."*

 

 

 

3. *Favour*: The Power to Make Wealth is Delivered to the Vetted

 

*Genesis 12:2* - "I will bless you. And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.”

 

*Whatever you worship owns you.*

 

 

 

Father, help me to understand that You are the Owner and Giver of all things and I am only a steward. I give you access to my seed and my bread today, and I receive the revelation that my blessing is in my sacrifice. IJN
