“Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord, Thus saith the Lord, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel and two measure of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria”.
2 King 7:1 KJV.
There was famine in the land. There was no food anywhere and people would do anything to get food. Then the Prophet stepped forward and declared the mind of God. “By tomorrow things will change”. But it did not register in anyone’s mind because everywhere was dry. A certain man said it can never happen. His mind got in the way. But the word of the Lord has gone forth. “Tomorrow about this time….” When Prophet Elisha spoke, he was positioning the people for a miracle. God’s word is designed to position His people for an encounter with the supernatural. Elisha was trying to focus the people. He was trying to get them to look unto God: the creator of the ends of the earth. “Thus said the Lord,” not men.
But another declares…. “Behold if the Lord will make windows in heaven, might this things be… “(2King7:2) He made a mockery of God. Any person who tries to ridicule God should not be your friend. Any person, no matter who he is, that is making a statement that disparages your God must not be around you. Stay away from such a person because he will destroy your faith.
The man that made a mockery of God said it will never happen and he positioned himself for failure. He positioned himself for death.When you disregard Gods voice you position yourself for downfall... But there was another group of people, the lepers: the rejected ones that no one wanted to touch. They said: what are we doing here? If we sit here, we would die. Since we cannot go into the city why don’t we attempt something?
And they began to match towards the enemy’s camp: the four leprous men. That is to tell you that it doesn’t require people with expertise. It requires people who will position themselves. It is not about how tall or how short. It is about taking a step of faith to actualize the prophecy that has gone forth. As the leprous men were moving close to the camp, the Almighty God took over. The Syrians began to hear a noise of chariots, a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host (2 King 7:6 KJV). Consequently the Syrians abandoned everything they had and ran away and food suddenly became surplus in Samaria according to the word of the Lord because some people were positioned for the miracle. As you step out in faith,God will take over on your behalf. As you position yourself in faith you will please God,whatever has been an obstacle on your way will clear off in Jesus name.
Don’t sit down and do nothing. Step out and take the victory that God had prepared for you. It only calls for faith not to doubt Gods voice,not to look down on urself coz u have leprosy(issues). but even in that state you are in,you can be the saviour of a situation your family,marriage friendship or relationship is locked into...the unwanted of the society became the source of help to the community that had rejected them....look up child of God! TIME IS NOW! act in Jesus name! B blessed and have a great week!
