Have you ever felt frustrated waiting on God for provision, clarity, or breakthrough—only to feel like nothing is happening? In this powerful episode, God Gives Us the Raw Materials, we explore the biblical truth that God often provides resources in seed form, not as finished products. Using 1 Kings 17:15–16 (NKJV) and the story of the widow with the flour and oil, this episode reveals how God supplies raw materials—gifts, talents, ideas, and abilities—and invites us into partnership by stewarding, cultivating, and using what He has already placed in our hands. Rather than waiting for “bread,” God calls us to recognize the flour and oil we already possess. This teaching will help you identify your God-given raw materials, understand why you may be overlooking your provision, and learn how to turn what you have into sustenance, service, and impact. If you’ve been praying for more while feeling stuck, delayed, or overlooked, this episode will shift your perspective and empower you to move forward in faith and obedience. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: What it means when God provides raw materials instead of finished products The spiritual significance of the widow’s flour and oil in 1 Kings 17 Why waiting on God for “bread” can cause us to miss our provision How God partners with us through stewardship and obedience The meaning behind God’s question to Moses: “What is in your hand?” How to identify your raw materials through prayer and the Word of God How gifts and talents reveal your calling and assignment Why resonance with certain Scriptures points to purpose How to cultivate, develop, and steward what God has given you Turning raw materials into provision, profit, and sustainability (2 Kings 4) How to serve God, others, and your family with your God-given resources Key Scriptures Referenced: 1 Kings 17:15–16 (NKJV) – The widow, the flour, and the oil Exodus 4:2 (NKJV) – “What is in your hand?” 2 Kings 4:1–7 (NKJV) – The widow’s oil and divine multiplication Colossians 3:23 (NKJV) – Doing all things as unto the Lord Key Takeaway: God is not withholding provision from you. He has already supplied it—often in the form of raw materials. Your responsibility is to recognize what He has given you, cultivate it, steward it well, and allow Him to multiply it for His glory, your sustainability, and the service of others.
