Introduction:
I am really excited about the following magic trick! It is not only fun and easy to do, but it is a powerful tool to explain Biblical truths in a new and visual way.
It's the Lota Vase! And what does it do? It enables you to pour water again and again from an empty metal vase! Just imagine the endless possibilities...
So far I have used the Lota Vase:
Idea 148 - To demonstrate God's unending and overflowing love
Idea 149 - To tell the story of the prophet Elisha and the widow’s oil
Idea 150 - To teach children on how they can spiritually grow
Idea 151 - To show children the importance of developing their talents
Idea 152 - To tell the story of the prophet Elijah and the widow at Zarephath
Idea 153 - To teach children about Jesus' promise of living water
Idea 154 - To tell any story in the Bible about flowing water
Watch the video:
In the video below I will show you how I use the Lota Vase to tell the story of the prophet Elisha and the miracle of the widow's oil. (2 Kings 4: 1-7)
"Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbours for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.” She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing."
Underneath I will also show you where you can buy your own version of the Lota Vase
