TAKE ME BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS OH LORD (10)

Post date: Aug 15, 2019 3:51:36 AM

Adverse situations will not prevent the things promised you by the Almighty God from being as He had said and destined; your physical disabilities, weakness, lack, and shame will not also present you from being what He had said and destined; the delays of the past and the present will not stop His words in your life; God will give you victory in all the spiritual battles against you, they will not defeat or destroy you, they will not overcome you and they will not take what God had destined for you by His grace and power. The plans of evil are to kill, to steal and to destroy, but our God also a better plan, to bless, to restore, to keep and make you better than yesterday and keep you safe every day when you go out and when you come in and enjoy the peace in His presence will offer to you. I want you to know and even understand that God has a better plan for you despite the prevailing circumstances and He will definitely fulfill them. Adversities will come and will go but the plans of God will remain the same and will be fulfilled.

After three years and six months of severe famine, hunger, lack, and pains, God promised the people through Elisha and abundance of food by the next day that will exceed their expectations despite what famine. He did not promise the miracle will come after He had sent rain and they have planted and waited for the harvest time to come. Because of the famine, the people had become physically and mentally weak; they have eaten the seeds they would have planted and had nothing left in store for the next day or season. All they were waiting for was to die, but even in that situation, God had a plan and He sent Elisha to announce His plans before the king.

 “Elisha said, listen to the Lord’s word. This is what the Lord says, about this time tomorrow seven quarts of fine and choice flour will be sold for two-fifths of an ounce of silver, a shekel, and thirteen quarts of barley will be sold for two-fifths of an ounce of silver, a shekel, food would be readily available. This will happen at the gate of Samaria the location of the marketplace. Then the officer who was close to the king, on whose arm the king was leaning answered Elisha, even if the Lord opened windows in the sky, resulting in rain, that couldn’t happen. Elisha said, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it. There were four men with a skin disease, leprosy, at the entrance to the city gate. They said to each other, why do or should we sit here until we die? There is no food, famine in the city. So if we go into the city, we will die there. If we stay here, we will die. So let’s go to the Aramean camp. If they let us live, spare us, we will live. If they kill us, we die. So they got up at twilight and went to the Aramean camp, but when they arrived at the edge of the camp, no one was there. The Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a large army. They had said to each other, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us. So they got up and ran away in the twilight leaving, abandoning their tents, horses, and donkeys. They left the camp standing just as it was and ran for their lives. When the men with the skin disease, lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into one of the tents and ate and drank. They carried silver, gold, and clothes out of the camp and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent. They carried things from this tent and hid them, also. Then they said to each other, we are doing wrong not right. Today we have, this is a day of good news, but we are silent, keeping it to ourselves, holding our tongues. If we wait until the sun comes up, we’ll be discovered, punished, and found guilty. Let’s go right now and tell the people in the king’s palace, household.” 2 Kings 7:1-9

God used four men, without physical strength but with spiritual courage; men without weapons of war and without hope of success even for themselves because of their physical situation. God did not heal them first before using them, but He used them to fulfill His plans. How God will do it for you I do not know but what I know is that He will definitely do what He had said in your life and it will exceed your expectations. Prayer Request Click here
