2 Kings 4: 3.
Then he said, "Go, borrow thee vessels from all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few."
KEY 3: DON'T LIMIT GOD, WHAT HE SAYS DO EXACTLY.
The widow was told exactly what to do, Go, borrow empty vessels, borrow not a few. The woman was asked to participate in receiving her miracle. Her participation was obedience. When the LORD tells you to do something, don't question, just do it. Doubt that the LORD will come through with the miracle, limits GOD and can cancel the miracle for you.
In this story, the woman was to gather participants to see the miracle. She was to go to the neighbors and borrow what they had in their house. The curious neighbors would then be a witness to the miracle of GOD and their faith would be strengthened. GOD never wastes an opportunity to bring more and more people to belief in Him.
KEY 4: EXPECT A MIRACLE
We can't outdo GOD. This woman only borrowed some empty vessels; the LORD wanted to bless her with more than she could ever hope or imagine, but she didn't have enough vessels. Expect a miracle along the line of the "feeding of the 5,000" and be alert to how GOD provides.
