Topic : Time To Recover.
Memory Verse: 2 Kings 6:3. Then one of them said, “Won’t you please come with your servants?” “I will,” Elisha replied.
Bible Reading : 2 Kings 6:5-7 NIV. Key Verse : v6.
As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no, my lord!” he cried out. “It was borrowed!” The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float. “Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it.
This time students of ministry under Elisha wanted to carry out an expansion work on their accomodation. It was possible that they had increased enrollment or patronage which began to tell on their facilities. Then, one of them came up with a suggestion that they go to Jordan and fetch woods so that they could carry out expansion work on the facility hosting them. When they got to Jordan where the trees or woods were located, they went to work. As they were cutting wood, an axe head one of the sons of the prophet or students was using, fell into the river. The user had to raise an alarm because the axe head wasn’t his, as it was borrowed. Fortunately enough, they were able to convince Elisha to go with them to Jordan for this exercise in the first place. When the man of God heard the cry of the lost axe head, he was touched, therefore he had to do something to help out of the situation.
The man of God did something that looked foolish to the eyes of everyone present, but that was what delivered the miracle. “The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float. “Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it.” 2 Kings 6:6-7. On a normal day, wood can never magnet or pull heavy iron out of any river bed. But because the power of God was present the rules or natural laws was altered as the piece of wood Elisha dipped into the river magnated and pulled the axe head off the river bed. Another interesting angle to what God did with the man of God in that situation was that the axe head floated (as heavy as it was), so that they could see and pick it.
Today we need to understand that Prophets are men God raises in every dispensation to use them and wipe away tears from the eyes of those who weep because of what they are passing through. When they come into a matter with the weight of grace, natural laws are always suspended. ”Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:9-10. This day, I want to introduce you to a dimension of God that uproots and tears down every plantings of the enemy in a man’s life. The power of God tears down and destroys every structure of the enemy in lives and families that brings pain and panic. The God we serve destroys the works of Satan and overthrows his wicked counsel anywhere they exist. That is the very reason Jesus Christ had to manifest on earth as a man though he is God. Today there is grace to build or rebuild whatever good thing you desire from God. Even what the enemy thought he destroyed are being rebuilt now. You are now being planted in God’s presence to flourish forever. Nothing good shall die in your hands anymore.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are the God of signs and wonders. Thank you because with you all things are possible. In the name of Jesus I destroy every structure of darkness in my life, business, career and family. By the mercies of God I recover every thing I lost in the past due to my mistakes or activities of the evil one in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 1:5-25.
