Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!” 2 Kings 7:1-2
The major difference between heaven’s economics and world’s economics is time. Jesus fed more than 5,000 and 4,000 people in Matthew 14 and 15 respectively. In Matthew 17 Jesus was subjected to tax investigation because His philanthropy was not consistent with His tax. In those days, it would take more than a year’s wages to feed such crowds. Many people assume that Jesus was a poor man because of his simplicity. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says that Jesus Christ made himself poor for our sake that through His poverty we might become rich. Logically speaking, He wouldn’t make Himself poor unless He was rich in the first place. This is God’s will for us.

There are many unbelievers who live by biblical principles and it works for them because it takes faith to engage the principles of sowing & reaping, scattering (either by giving or making multiple investments). However, having faith in the owner of silver and gold is greater than having faith in the gold itself. God’s supernatural supplies are independent of natural laws.
