What do you do when life feels unfair and you’re carrying consequences you didn’t create?

In this episode, I walk through the powerful story of the widow’s oil in 2 Kings 4 and share what God showed me about provision, obedience, and justice when faithful people find themselves in impossible circumstances.

This message is for you if you’ve been obedient, yet you’re still dealing with lingering debt, emotional carryover from past seasons, or situations that feel deeply unfair. I talk about why God often asks the question, “What do you have in your house?” and how that question is an invitation to partner with Him, even when what you have feels small.

We’ll look at how obedience unlocks supernatural provision and how God honors faithfulness, even when the cost feels heavy. I also share how we can stand confidently on the righteousness of Jesus Christ and put a demand on God’s promises when we need breakthrough, direction, or justice.

In this episode, I cover:

Why obedience is often the doorway to God’s provision
How to respond when you’re affected by circumstances you didn’t cause
What the widow’s oil teaches us about partnership with God
How to trust God when you don’t have clear answers yet
Why God’s provision often overflows beyond the immediate need

📖 Scriptures referenced include 2 Kings 4, Isaiah 61, and Luke 4.

If this message encourages you, I invite you to share it with someone who needs hope today.
