Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah saying, "Arise, go to Zarephath which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there, see I have commanded a widow to provide for you." I Kings 17:8,9

This Message is about your finances and how to sustain the blessing of prosperity in your life! Granted, prosperity has been stretched by many of the TV preachers who pad their pockets with your donations, but the truth of the matter is this, there is Divine prosperity for the believer.
God sent Elijah to a widow to provide for him, but the widow was broke with only enough flour and oil to make a cake for she and her son. Elijah believed God's word for him, and he told the widow to make a cake for him out of what she had left. Sounds like a selfish act but God took what little she had and multiplied it!
Giving is the key that unlocks the Divine prosperity of God and that is why Elijah told the widow to give the last to him and God did the rest! We give to live, and God loves a cheerful giver! As we observe Elijah's journey, we will see attributes and gifts that we can apply to our lives.
The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah. I Kings17:16
