PIDGIN DIVINE SUPPLY!

2 Kings 4:1-7

One day, one woman wey en husband bi profet before e die kon kry go meet Elisha sey, “Yor savant my husband don die. Yu know sey yor savant dey follow God kommand. Naw, doz wey e dey owe money before e die, won kom take my two sons as slave.”

2Elisha ask di woman, “Wetin yu wont make I do for yu?” Make yu tell mi, “Wetin yu get for yor house?”

Di woman ansa, “Yor savant nor get anytin escept one small oil.”

3Den Elisha tell am, “Make yu go borrow plenty empty gallon kom. 4Afta yu don borrow dem, make yu enter house kon lock yor door, den pour di oil put for all di gallons and wons one full, put am for korna.”

5So di woman leave am kon lock en and en sons wey bring di gallon, for inside dia house. Den e bigin pour di oil put for inside di gallons. 6Wen dem don full, e kon tell en sons, “Make una bring anoda gallon kom.”

But di boys ansa, “All of dem don full.” So di oil kon stop to pour kom out.

7Den di woman go tell Elisha wetin happen and Elisha sey, “Go sell di oil, use di money take pay yor debt, den make yu and yor sons sell di rest kon use di money take buy food make una chop.”

 

2 Chronicles 29:12 talk say wealth and riches dey come from the Lord. The world dey behave like say na dem create everything wey humanity dey enjoy. In their pride, dem dey think say dem fit control things by themselves, stop things from finishing or ration am to make am last. 

But the One wey create everything never and no go ever remove Him hand from creation. That mean say na Him alone fit continue to supply everything we need from Him big storehouse wey no go ever finish. 

God fit supply, and He fit multiply anything we need easy. 

This miracle of multiplication show how God fit use wetin person already get do wonders. For this story, na small jar of oil the woman get — that na her asset. Wetin be your own asset? Bible no tell us the size of the jar, but that small thing na all wey she get, yet her creditor don plan to carry her two pikin as bond boys to pay the debt. 

This miracle resemble the one for 1 Kings 17:14–16, where the jar of flour no finish. That one too base on asset. God ask Moses for Exodus 4:2, “Wetim dey your hand?” Moses complain say he no fit do the work, but God use that same staff wey be him identity, influence, and source of living as instrument of power. 

So, wetin be your own asset? Wetin God don put for your hand? A jar of oil! Oil na valuable thing for any society — e dey useful for light, cooking, anointing, healing, and even beauty (Psalm 104:15). 

A jar of oil! E no mean much to the widow, but when she put am for God hand, the same thing change her story. 

From debtor to oil businesswoman — for just one day! 

The creditor (like devil) always dey wait to carry people enter bondage — no be just for short time, but for eternity. Make you wise up; look your asset and cry to God to deliver you before enemy lay hold of you. 

This woman no start to complain say the thing no fair or shout about her husband’s debt. She explain her case to Prophet Elisha, and the man of God quickly give her solution — not just to solve small problem, but to change her life completely. 

Notice say the prophet tell her to, “Go outside, borrow vessels from your neighbours, empty ones, and borrow plenty.” Meaning say her answer no dey only for her hand; her neighbours too get role to play. People around you dey connected to your lifting; no block the flow of blessing because you wan show independence. 

Those wey genuinely help others go get their own reward. God no dey fix only the area wey you cry to Am about; He dey complete the work — even things wey you no know say you need help for (Ephesians 3:20). 

The widow pay her debt finish by her faith in God, but the miracle need her own part — her obedience and small step of faith. When we obey God for secret, He dey reward us for open, just like this woman. 

So, wetin be your asset? You fit feel say wetin you get too small or e no get value, but maybe something like that jar of oil dey your hand, or one hidden thing wey fit be the key to your breakthrough. Ask God to show you wetin be your asset.
