Topic : Divine Intervention.

Bible Reading :‭2 Kings 7:3-5 NIV‬. Key Verse :v6.

Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, “Why stay here until we die? If we say, ‘We’ll go into the city’—the famine is there, and we will die. And if we stay here, we will die. So let’s go over to the camp of the Arameans and surrender. If they spare us, we live; if they kill us, then we die.” At dusk they got up and went to the camp of the Arameans. When they reached the edge of the camp, no one was there,

This time the people of Syria came to war against Samaria. They laid siege against the people of God. That made it impossible for the people of Samaria to relate with the outside world in commerce, industry and trade (economic blockadep). The hunger in the land became so terrible that women lost their mind and began to eat their children. ‭‭”There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels. As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!” The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?” Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.” 2 Kings 6:25-29.

Instead of the king to seek the face of the Lord in repentance for their rebellion and wickedness that made the Lord hand them over to their enemies, he went for the head of Elisha, from whose mouth the Lord had given them warnings which they never heeded. When the messengers of death arrived at Elisha’s, the Lord gave a message of hope that some people was tempted to doubt based on reality. ‭‭”Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!”2 Kings 7:1-2.

Because able bodied men were jittery and in doubt, God bypassed them to use hungry, incapacitated and dying lepers to deliver the land. ‭‭”At dusk they got up and went to the camp of the Arameans. When they reached the edge of the camp, no one was there, for the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us!” So they got up and fled in the dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys. They left the camp as it was and ran for their lives.” 2 Kings 7:5-7. Today, every stubborn challenges you are facing will hear the sound of divine intervention and give way by the mercies of God

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are the captain of my warfare. This day have mercy on me and deliver me from every trouble that came upon me by reason of divine judgement. In your mighty mercy, let every siege of the wicked against my soul be broken now by divine intervention in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
