The call to fetch was what Elijah implied for her to convey to get, but out of all the things he requested of her, it was Water. It is this Water that not only delivers and sets you free, but if she had not fetched the water, she might have missed out on the healing; it was the obedience in the water that sustained her and her son. What she did not no know was she was being observed. God will put us in a place of observation—a place to be tested.
It was her being obedient; therefore, once you are in a place of observation, God can pour new wine into old wineskins. In your vessel, Only then can God use you to promote us or count us worthy to heal the sick open a blind eye the dead shall wake, and the lame shall walk.
GOD was preparing this widow as a pour-out offering, a vessel to be used by GOD. Water signifies the Holy Spirit; as long as Elijah was there with her, there was no need for Water for the sp; if it is of the living, God sustains. Water signifies life, and he called to her and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. It only takes a little water in your boat to heal your son or daughter. All it takes is a morsel to cause the dead to awake. All it takes is a little olive branch of kindness to get your blessings.
As she was going to fetch, he stopped her because of her faith in the following text level; even as Moses was closing the knife down on his son by obedience, he was also arrested for going into the next level of his ministry.
This woman was not only obedient, but I lauded her and her son's life died to die. But during death, the Water offered by her obedience saved her and her son's life. Every time God unfolds, they nlrdded you, and it keeps coming depending on your obedience. She was to bring a morsel in her hand for Elijah to eat.
The widow didn't hold anything back from serving him. She gave him the Water first. She gave the bread to him first. She answered the call of God even in her distress. Can we do any less?
It was this Water that not only delivers and sets you free, but it is also Water that will sustain you. It was her being obedient.
