ACCORDING TO THE WORDS OF ELISHA (1)

Post date: Jun 7, 2020 11:18:40 PM

Then Elisha said, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord, tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria. So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said  look if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could this thing be? And he said, in fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it. So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel shall be sold tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria. Then that officer had answered the man of God, and said, now look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could such a thing be? And he had said, in fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it. And so it happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.” 2 Kings 7:1-2;18-20

God wants you to do something and see something besides just following and believing Him; He wants you to trust Him the more every day and everywhere irrespective of the situation and any of the challenges you will come across; He will open your eyes to see something so you can also say something and watch Him do it; He wants you to be confident in His ability to defend and also establish you; He wants you to be assured that His presence is with you even when you do not know it, see it or feel it and when the enemies are out to get you; He wants you to know that He is always with you irrespective of the weapons formed and used against you; He wants you to know  that He can raise you up from a fall, He can give you success and make you a success despite the past or the present failures; He wants you to know His mission for your life as His child will be accomplished, and He wants you to trust in change despite the delays and the present-day difficulties.

Elisha had a mission from God that was to reveal the mind of God to the king and people of Israel and to instruct them on what to do according to the words and plans of God. One of God’s many plans for Israel was to defend them against their enemies, and to give them victory in every battle that they will be engaged in. The armies of Israel were to fight in battles, the duty of the king was to declare the war and to give instructions, and Elisha’s duty was to instruct the king on what to do by revealing the plans of the enemies to him according to what God reveals, shows, and tells him.

Elisha did not speak what he thinks about the situations but what he knew and saw as true from the Lord; he spoke out what God showed him and followed what God instructed him to say and do what He asked him to do on all occasions, and Elisha saw what he had said fulfilled by God in the open. I want you to know that every word of God that He opens your eyes and heart to see or perceive in and for your life, when you believe them, speak them, follow them, trust God for them, the God who showed them to you or give them to you will also fulfill them right before your own eyes. God wants you to say something and also do something with what He had or what He will open your eyes to see from now concerning your situation and concerning your future He had destined for you in Him. He did not give you salvation for nothing, He gave you salvation with hope and assurance of His presence and with His joy.

In speaking what God shows you, don’t look at the impossibilities, leave that to God; don’t look at the difficulties, leave that to God; don’t give in to the challenges ahead, leave that to God, speak what God shows you according to your ability, do what God asks you to do according to your ability, God will complete the rest, He will fulfill His words and He will glorify Himself only if you will believe and act. Do not wait until the time is right, you will never have it; do not wait until the challenges are over, you will even have more challenges; do not wait until you can prove it or confirm it, the devil will resist you, and men will hinder you. Say what God shows you and tells you concerning yourself and your future. He who planned it will fulfill it. That is His full responsibility and He will not relinquish His responsibility for any reason. For prayers, Click here
