Ano Ang Iyong "Jar of Oil"?

2 Kings 4 (NLV)

Elisha and the Jar of Oil

4 Now the wife of the son of one of the men who tell what will happen in the future cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead. You know that your servant honored the Lord with fear. But the man to whom he owed money has come to take my two children to make them serve him.” ² Elisha said to her, “What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your woman servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” ³ Then he said, “Go around and get jars from all your neighbors. Get empty jars, many of them. ⁴ Then go in and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour the oil into all these jars, and set aside each one that is full.” ⁵ So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They took the jars to her, and she poured. ⁶ When the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another jar.” And he said to her, “There is not one jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing. ⁷ She came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go and sell the oil and pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on the rest.”

Ano ang iyong Jar of Oil?

Sobrang Nakaka-touch ang message sa Bible verse na ito for those who have been asking and praying to God for a blessing in their business and work. Mahal tayo ni Lord and he would be delighted in our prosperity.

First and foremost, hinihingi sa atin ni Lord kung ano ang meron sa atin ngayon. 

That is the Jar of Oil. 

That could be a special skill you have which is your strength and talent.

Maaari na ito ay kung anong meron ka sa bahay, bakuran o opportunity sa paligid mo na maaari mong pagkakitaan at ibenta.

Maaari ito ay kasalukuyang trabaho mo na as a Driver, Call center agent, Teacher o I.T. Specialist.

Kung ano ang meron tayo sa kasalukuyan, iyon ang hinihiling na sa atin ni Lord na gamitin to make money.

The verse has been an old testament teaching of entrepreneurship and business. Tinuturuan na tayo noon pa man sa Bibliya ng pagne-negosyo.

Sobrang ganda rin ng teaching na:

When the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another jar.” And he said to her, “There is not one jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

Ibig sabihin, tayo ang makakapagdikta ng limitasyon sa ating sarili sa hanggang saan tayo ma be-bless.

Tayo lamang ang makakapag-set ng kung hanggang magkano ang gusto nating kitain.

Magkano ba ang limit na gusto mo kitain?

• P10,000 a month?
• P100,000 a month?
• P500,000 a month?
• P1M a month?

Kahit sino ka man, saan ka man galing, gender, status, pinag-aralan o kakayahan.

Kung ano ang limit na gusto mo, anuman ang desisyon mo, Makakaya mo!

Walang limitasyon si Lord sa kung papaano niya tayo ibe-bless in terms of income or monetary rewards.

Dahil kahit we are overflowing of blessings already, the Lord is excited to bless us more, He asks us to Bring Him another Jar.

What can you use that you already have in yourself?

• Talent in Singing?
• Go and sing to the world! And be wealthy with that!
• Gift of Teaching?
• Go and offer to train! And be of service to others while earning!
• Gift of Listening?
• Go and be a counselor, teach others to be a good listener!
• Green thumb?
• Go and plant and harvest!
• Makalikot and invents things?
• Go and make jewelries, or toys and sell them!

^{7 ...}And he said, “Go and sell the oil and pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on the rest.”

There is holiness in selling and earning money as long as we set our mind to it. We are permitted by our God. It is a service to our sons and family.
