How often do you belittle what you have? Many people desire great things but they are ever quick to belittle what they currently have in their possession. They don’t see those things as keys to accessing what they desire. What you need for a change of story in your life is not far, it’s very much with you. This post stresses the need not to look down on what you have in your quest for greater things in life.
There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many? – John 6:9 (NKJV).
So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” – 2 Kings 4:2 (NKJV).
For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him – Matthew 13:12 (NKJV).
People are quick to look outside for solutions to their challenges, however, most of the time, their solution is inside. Belittling what you have leads to waste of time, energy and resources, and it delays the Lord’s intervention in your life. Sometimes, these persons end up not achieving their dreams because they belittled what they already had.
God works with and multiplies what you already have. Claiming not to have anything hinders the help of God towards you. More will be given to whoever has; but he who hasn’t, even that which he has will be taken from him (Matthew 13:12). Therefore, don’t be quick to say you don’t have. Look inwards and you will see what you have that will help you solve your challenge or get what you want.

When she was asked by Elisha what she had, she said, “nothing”, before adding that she had a jar of oil. At the end, it was this jar of oil that she considered not enough or as nothing that saved her and her sons. Read more...
