Topic : You Believe To Receive.

Memory Verse :‭Hebrews 11:6. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Bible Reading : ‭2 Kings 7:1-2 NIV‬. Key Verse :v2.

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!”

The famine in the land of Samaria this time in history was so severe that two women could loose compassion for their children as to agree to kill their sons for food which is unheard of before and after that time. These women agreed to slaughter their sons for food one at a time. After they ate the son of the first woman in the first day, the second woman hid her son when it was her turn to surrender her own son to be eaten. This caused a sharp argument and fight that drew the attention of the king who was passing by as the bereaved woman asked for help or justice. ‭”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.” When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and they saw that, under his robes, he had sackcloth on his body.” 2 Kings 6:27-30.

The king had to go for the head of Elisha who was God’s voice at that point in time. The man of God told the men sent by the king that tomorrow there would be a miracle as prices of food will crash. Because the famine in thirst place was induced by a prolonged siege of the enemy Syrian army. The king’s special assistant or Aid De Camp, doubted it because he was looking at the reality of things. That made the man of God to pronounce that he will see it but won’t partake of it. The next day, when God finally broke the siege and used the weakest or least of men (lepers) to announce it, the kings special assistant was appointed to oversee or coordinate distribution of the excess food that fleeing Syrian soldiers abandoned for the word of God to be fulfilled. He singularly died in the place of his new assignment as a result of stampede for the word of the man of God be fulfilled .

Today, we need to understand that the blesings or interventions of God comes by promises. The people who can access and utilise them therefore are men who dare to believe God against all odds. People doubt most time because when God is speaking, the situation always look the same because God himself speaks into the future in order to affect the needed changes. Whatever you are going through now, remember the promises (word) of God that addressed such. Hold on to them and run with them because his promises are dependable. ‭”As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:10-12.

Prayer:Thank you Father God because your words are dependable. Today, I refuse to fix my gaze on challenges, but pay attention to what you are saying. Thank you because you have the capacity to bring your word to pass in my life and situation, circumstances notwithstanding in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
