"Oil" refers to olive oil. This oil is mixed with flour to bake bread.

The "oil" refers to olive oil.
This oil is used to bake bread by mixing it with flour, or for lamplight, but there was only one jar to hold it.
...So Elisha said, "Go outside and borrow some vessels from the neighbors."
...When all the vessels were full,
she said to one of her children, "Bring me more vessels."
But when the child said, "There are no more vessels," the oil stopped flowing.
...This can also be said spiritually.
The Lord promised to pour out the Spirit of God, who is the living water of our souls, but if we go before Him with a thirsty heart, we will be filled.
Otherwise, it will stop completely...😱
We will not be filled.
In order for God's Holy Spirit to fill our vessels (hearts), we must go before the Lord with a thirsty heart, saying, "Fill me more, fill me more!"
...I think we need to be spiritually greedy in a good way 🤔.

…God asks you,
"What can I do for you?"
What will you answer?
…Psalm 81:10.
"Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it."
…The Lord is infinite, yet sometimes we limit Him to the bounds of common sense…😰
We desire to be not just unconventional believers, nor conventional believers, but "super" conventional believers❗️.
…
Shalom 😃
