Empty Yourself! Part 3

Now, we have many jars in our possession. For many of us, most of the jars are filled with worldly cares, leaving only a few or even none for God to pour His anointing oil into. Imagine, if the widow hadn’t poured away the soup in the jar, she could have totally missed it. Do you want to miss the anointing oil that God is going to pour out?

Don’t you think that it’s time for us to empty all our jars, even if that will cause us to have lack in some areas of our lives? Don’t you think that we have to start gathering more empty jars so that God can pour more of His anointing oil, so that we will not say, “If only I had gotten more in the beginning…”?

Let’s start emptying the many jars of worldly cares in our lives. Let’s come before the throne of God full of emptiness, and let Him fill us with His everything, so that our lives will be all about Him, and not us. We have eaten too much from the world; our stomach is full of it. Let’s starve ourselves for the food from the heavenly Kingdom, which we will never get sick and tired of, which we will always hunger for more and more because it is just so good. Let’s determine in our hearts that from this day onwards, that before we ask Jesus to fill our cup, we first empty our cup so that we will not miss the anointing that He wants to give us. Forget about the world; come into what God has for us. The world can fail us, but God will never fail us, nor will He disappoint us.
