When God Says Yes

In the drought-stricken village of Zarephath, survival is a daily battle. For Mara, a widowed mother clinging to the last remnants of hope, the future is bleak. With only enough flour and oil for one final meal for herself and her young son Eli, Mara prepares to face the inevitable—until a weary stranger arrives at her door.

The stranger is Elijah, a prophet with a divine message that defies all logic: “The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry.”

Mara’s choice seems simple but is weighted with fear—can she trust the impossible? With a trembling heart, she says YES.

That single word opens the floodgates of the miraculous.

Provision flows where there was once lack. Faith blooms in the parched soil of doubt. And when tragedy strikes and her son’s breath ceases, a desperate cry becomes the doorway to resurrection.

When God Says Yes is a deeply moving retelling of one widow’s encounter with faith, obedience, and divine intervention. Inspired by the biblical story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, Chinedu Nnadi crafts a powerful tale of trust, sacrifice, and the relentless mercy of God.

This is not just a story about provision—it’s about the courage to believe when everything screams otherwise. It’s about the YES that births miracles.
