This message by our special guest speaker, Overseer Jeremiah Andrews, draws from 1 Kings 17 and the story of Elijah and the widow at Zarephath, alongside Ephesians 3:20, to deliver a powerful message about faith, obedience, and divine provision in seasons of lack. The preacher opens by declaring a prophetic word: God is about to do something with that, referring to the little strength, little hope, and little faith people feel they have left.
Using the widow’s last meal as a central metaphor, the sermon teaches that God doesn’t need abundance to perform a miracle—He specializes in stretching what looks like “not enough.” All the widow had was a word from God and just enough willingness to obey, and that combination became the doorway to her miracle. The message emphasizes that God needs your “yes” more than your surplus.
The preacher also addresses the seasons of breaking, explaining that not every hardship is an attack from the enemy—sometimes God orchestrates breaking to shape, position, and prepare you for your next level. When the brook dries up, it doesn’t mean the blessing is over; it means God is redirecting you. Dry places are often divine signals that God is moving you from comfort into purpose.
Throughout the sermon, listeners are reminded that God works behind the scenes, sustains them in drought, and never moves them without preparing their next place. The message warns against negativity and distractions, urging believers to guard their spirits and stay focused on God’s promises.
Ultimately, the sermon declares that what appears to be the end is actually a setup. What feels empty, God is about to fill. What seems dead, God is about to resurrect. The closing charge is one of hope and expectancy: You are not in your breaking season—you are in your birthing season. God is about to stretch your last, flip your situation, and do exceedingly and abundantly above all you could ask or think.
