What a Little Oil Will Do

 Blue  v1-16   Ch 17   1 Kgs

v1  Elijah said to Ahab... "As the LORD lives...
there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word."

     ~God showing Ahab Who is really the boss

v13  Elijah said to the widow at Zarephath... "but first make a small cake of bread for me."

The widow is Elijah's elder so out of respect, servant-leadership, and etiquette, he should be getting her the water, BUT, not when you have a Word from the LORD.

God had a great Word to bless the widow but only after she believed the prophet and prospered, which required Christianity to be practiced~

She had to : hear
                      believe it
                      do it by faith
                      then Jms 2:22 proved she died to:
                                                                                 fear
                                                                                 self-preservation
                                                                                 offense (that he
                                                                                    even asked her
                                                                                    to do this after
                                                                                    knowing how
                                                                                    needy she was)
She engaged in : hope
                              faith
                              serving
                              giving
                              providing
                              her needs being met
                              a vision to live instead of to die
