Day One

Day One The Widow’s Oil

Message from God:

We are in partnership regarding your home. You are not alone, but I need you to see beyond the possible and search for the impossible. Stop expecting other people to do what only I can do. You are anointed for where you are, and the oil flowing through your life is the Holy Spirit.

Life Application:

Move past your first emotional response to the matter. Just because it’s the first response doesn’t mean it is correct. Remember your alliance with God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.

Devotional

Let's begin with the title, "The Widow's Oil" which is ownership. Does anyone see the partnership established from the beginning with the oil of God surrounding her? God established the collaboration with us. He chose us.

We can see the mystery of the alliance between the wife and God. He surrounds her and assumes responsibility for her beyond her comprehension. He has a well-thought-out plan that simply requires an act of faith. The only problem

is she sees lack and even her title signifies loss. The term widow is defined as a woman who has lost her spouse by death; a woman/wife left uncovered. The definition screams loss, but He (God) shifts her focus to the oil, not her lack.

The term oil is used biblically throughout the Old and New Testaments, symbolic of the anointing of God. You may see it written as (Spirit of The Lord, or Holy Spirit). God used what appeared to have one meaning in the natural and gave her a completely different status or ranking in Spirit just as he has done for you. When God is our 1st love (even when it appears that you have no one), you have Heaven waiting to respond to your faith. God gave us our victorious results at the beginning of creation, but just like the widow, sometimes a loss doesn’t look like a victory. When God established His covenant with us, it became a binding agreement sealed by the blood of Christ. In this covenant, God says, "I am committed to you, and we are together no matter what you face. We are in partnership and when you call, I’ll answer just for you…. I am your confidante, and your earthly marital status doesn’t define whether I will help you or not. You are my bride. Your

love and faith for me is the active agent that grabs my attention."

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity]; I have called you by name; you are mine! Isaiah 43:1(AMP)

YOUR LOVE AND FAITH IS THE ACTIVE AGENT THAT GRABS GOD’S ATTENTION

Love is faith and faith is love. There’s a distinct sound released when real love is present. Love can move mountains and shake the foundation of any situation.
