TOPIC: Fret Not (DCLM Daily Manna 6 January 2026)

KEY VERSE: “Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest” (2 Kings 4:7).

TEXT: 2 Kings 4:1-7 (KJV)

1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

In the winter of 2023, in a small rural town in Oklahoma, USA, a single mother named Sarah, with two young children, faced severe financial hardship. She had lost her job, and the harsh winter brought increased heating costs. With dwindling food supplies and mounting bills, she felt overwhelmed, worried and anxious, not knowing how to survive the winter. One evening, a local church assembly anonymously delivered a box of groceries and a gift card to cover her heating expenses. Later, it was discovered that a group of people from her children’s school had come together to provide these items. This act of kindness, at a moment of desperation, reinforced her faith, that even in hard times, God’s care is shown through the actions of others.

The story in our text today cannot be better illustrated than with such an apt contemporary experience of people that put their faith and confidence in God at a time of uncertainty and a future that is largely unpredictable. The widow woman had lost her husband who was a faithful servant of God. This indicates clearly that no one is immune from life’s unpredictable hazards. Fortunately, the story does not end in total helplessness as the woman was wise enough to seek solution from the right source. She reached out to Elisha, the prophet of God, who decreed a miraculous increase through a simple act of faith. Having had the background and experience in the supernatural ways of God, she simply obeyed the man of God. Her obedience paid off when her little oil was miraculously multiplied and sufficient to pay off her debt and prevent her children from being taken away by her creditors. She indeed had more than enough to take care of her bills and expenses. In fact, the Bible further reveals that after paying her creditors she and her children lived off the income derived from the sale of the rest of the oil.

Our God is still in the business of divine supply in times of needs. Whatever the fearful data or worrying statistics coming from any government about a depressing economic situation, remember that saints of God belong to a kingdom that never runs out of provision. This New Year is pregnant with divine surprises! When we seek solution from the right source, we shall definitely experience the right intervention.
