In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of making room for God's blessings in our lives. He uses the story of a widow in debt to illustrate this point. The widow, whose husband was a student of the word of God, finds herself in a desperate situation with creditors threatening to take her two sons as bondmen. However, when she seeks help from the prophet Elisha, he asks her what she has in her house. She initially feels she has nothing, but eventually realizes she has a pot of oil. This parallels the New Testament story of Jesus feeding the multitude with just a few loaves and fishes. The preacher encourages the audience to not downplay what they have and to stop making excuses for not serving God.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes the call to live as true 'men of God,' reflecting God's holiness and grace in our lives, as exemplified by Elijah and Elisha. He urges believers to be filled with a passion for God's glory, to persevere in their spiritual journey, and to trust in God's unseen work even when signs are lacking. Meyer also highlights the importance of bringing our needs to God and the necessity of being vessels ready to receive His blessings. He warns against the dangers of complacency and the need for continual spiritual renewal, encouraging a life of prayer, consecration, and active faith.

Walter Beuttler delves into the Book of 2 Kings, highlighting the division of the book into two parts and the continuous history it provides of God's people. The message of the book emphasizes the consequences of shutting God out from human government, leading to the failure of man on the throne of earth due to a lost consciousness of God. The ministry of Elijah and Elisha is explored, showcasing God's sovereignty, power, and judgment through various miracles and interactions with kings and prophets.

F.B. Meyer reflects on the story of the widow and the oil in 2 Kings 4:6, emphasizing that the oil ceased to flow not because of a lack of God's power, but due to the limited number of vessels brought forth. He points out that many believers experience unfulfilled promises and diminished blessings because they have stopped bringing their needs to God, believing that He can no longer work through them as He once did. Meyer encourages the congregation to continue seeking God's provision and to expect His blessings to flow abundantly by bringing more vessels of need. He warns against complacency and urges believers to remain active in their faith and outreach, ensuring they are always ready to receive from God.
