Shut the Door, Pour the Oil: The Secret to Breakthrough

GM. This is Soul Food. We’re here to make bible as easy as baking a pie – minus the burnt crust.

☀️☀️☀️ Here’s the forecast:

In 2 Kings 4, Elisha performs a powerful miracle. He instructs a widowed woman in debt to do three things:

• Get as many jars as you can.

• Shut the door behind you.

• Pour the oil.

Let’s explore what these steps mean:

1. Get as many jars as you can.

This step is determined by our thinking. For some, “many” might be 5 jars; for others, it could be 500 or 5 million! The number is up to you, based on how big you can think. Often, we are limited by the size of our thinking—it is always the demand that limits God’s supply.

2. Shut the door behind you.

This represents shutting out noise and distractions. The woman would have had people shouting at her, reminding her of her debts, but instead, she chose to shut the door and focus on what was in front of her. Focusing and eliminating distractions is key to moving forward.

3. Pour the oil.

This means executing with what you have. You can spend time thinking, preparing, or planning, but what truly counts is action. Execution turns ideas into reality.

Make today a day of action!

🔑🔑🔑 Key takeaways:

• The size of your thinking determines the size of your results; don’t limit God’s supply with small expectations.

• Shutting out noise and distractions is essential for focus and progress.

• Execution is the key to miracles; action turns ideas into reality.
