God’s track record? – 2 Kings 6

Jan 22, 2013 - 2 Kings 6





Dear  Saints,

Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 6.  While the sons of the prophets enlarge their abodes, one of them drops an ax in the water.  God’s prophet throws a sick in the water and the iron ax head floats to the top for retrieval. Elisha knows God will deliver him even when others cannot see it. “15 When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.  “Samaria besieged, A famine, The king sends to slay Elisha.  2 Kings 5:15-17 English Standard Version (ESV).  “32 Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Now the king had dispatched a man from his presence, but before the messenger arrived Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent to take off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold the door fast against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?” 33 And while he was still speaking with them, the messenger came down to him and said, “This trouble is from the Lord! Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?” 2 Kings 5:25-27 English Standard Version (ESV).   Why should I wait on the Lord?  Just as God restored the ax head, he will protect you.  Ask God to open your eyes to show you how you are protected. Don’t get upset when the messenger brings bad news.  Trust God and wait on him!  ““[Ask, and It Will Be Given] “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 ESV.  While you are depending and waiting on God you can talk to Him.  Do his will and ask Him for you needs.    Keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Look back at God’s track record with Elisha.  Jesus gave you salvation and his Word.  He will never leave nor forsake you. Glory to God!

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.” Galatians 6:7-8 ESV.

The credit goes to? – 2 Kings 5

Jan 21, 2013 - 2 Kings 5





Dear  Saints,

Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 5.  The lesson learned secondly today is; never try to take credit or reward for God’s or another man’s work. Interestingly enough a small act of greed gave Gehazi leprosy in this chapter.  “25 He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26 But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence a leper, like snow.” 2 Kings 5:25-27 English Standard Version (ESV).   When God does a work through you be sure God gets all the glory.  The credit for God or anyone else’s work is not ours to take.  The first miracle was the curing of leprosy.  Elisha who delivered the directions wouldn’t go to Naaman.  He wanted God to get all the glory for healing Naaman.  “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.” Galatians 6:7-8 ESV.  You can stand tall and let your light shine as a servant of the one true God.  Please keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Jesus gives us more than salvation.  He gives us the capability to love our fellow men so much we’ll try to carry God’s message to them.  Let your light shine brightly.  Glory to God!

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:15-17 ESV.
