Scripture says to us that God instructed Elijah to leave Brook Cherith, where he was presently locatedto go to Zarephath, where God had commanded a widow to sustain him, 1 Kings 17:1-24
In the above scripture from 1 Kings 17:9, Elijah had run out of provisions, and the brook had dried up. God then commanded a widow who was experiencing poverty and unable to sustain herself. Despite unfavorable circumstances, both parties followed God's instructions, changing their cycles to favorable conditions. I recommend reading the entire text for a better understanding.
Question! What negative cycle has repeatedly been going on in your life, but God's solution and instructions did not meet your expectations? As a result, you continued in the same vein of failure, expecting things to change.
I don't know who this message is for today, but the cycles of negativity in your life will never change until you decide to follow the INSTRUCTIONS that God had initially conveyed to you. I am sure your sickening situation is evidence of that. Scripture clearly said to us that when the widow of Zarephath sustained Elijah with the last of what she had as crazy as that may have appeared, Elijah, herself, and her house did eat for many days. Scripture goes on to say the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail according to the WORD OF THE LORD, (the instructions of God) which he spoke by Elijah 1 Kings 17:15-16.
Please! Make up your mind today to do what God has asked of you, and sit back and watch the patterns and cycles of negativity come to an end only to make room for the positive that has been eluding you! The negative dislike cycles of defeat, failure, broken relationships, being at the bottom, taken advantage of, and the like can only be challenged by specific instructions from God Almighty, who scripture says knows the end of all things from their beginnings.

I have come to realize how important it is to obey the instructions of God, no matter how ridiculous!
