Many Christian are no longer looking unto to God who is the author and the finisher of our faith. They begin to look at what they are facing. No matter the prophecy from any man God they still look out their situation.
Some have concluded that the situation they are facing nothing can bring them out, some prayed without faith. This message titled "What About the Storm" In 2 Kings 7:1-2 " Elisha said, "Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About this time tomorrow, a seah [a] of flour will sell for a shekel [b] and two seahs [c] of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria."
2 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!"
From the text is clear that the servant of King was looking out the situation which they are facing and forget that God can still do something out of nothing. The servant was so sure that the situation cannot change no matter what happen, he even vow that even if the Lord open the windows in heaven this cannot prophecy cannot take place.
looking out the text (verses) very well, was it that the servant of the King was looking out Elisha as a small prophet or He think that he was joking, or because he did not pay money to see Him (Elisha) what was He thinking?
That is what many us are doing today, the faith they hear everyday is no longer there even when words of encouragement is coming that would bring hope they choose to ignore it and focus no their situation. They still believe that the storm cannot clam. They never see Jesus Christ in their ship, even when Jesus is saying "see me, wake me up" they don’t listening.
You may ask this question. What did i mean by Storm? Storm is when all hope is lost, it is a time when there is no helper, it is a time of rejection from love ones, it is a trial time, it is a time to test you whether you truly believe in God, it is a time to see whether you can still sing the song "I believe, yes i believe, yes i believe it’s well with me" it is a time when those you have help no longer want to see you and it is a time when far overcome your life.
The most powerful weapon the devil use to bring storm is fare. Many are afraid of storm even before it arrived. They want don’t to experience it at all but they forget the Bible says in Isaiah 43:2: "When thus passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and throughout the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee"
When storms arises it create an avenue for God to demonstrate is power. There is a danger in doubting God, because when you read the whole of Chapter (2Kings 7) you will see that the Servant of the King did not eat of the food that the Lord promised. I pray for you every Storm in your life by this time tomorrow shall become clam in the name of Jesus.(AMEN)
In conclusion you need to forget about the storm in life, believe in the prophecy concerning you, claim the the word concerning you, don’t loose hope always believe that what happen during the time Elisha would also repeat itself in your life because he never change, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So focus your attention on better tomorrow because the Bible the desire of the righteous shall be grated. I pray may Lord grant your heart desire in the name of Jesus and bless the work of your hands in the name of Jesus.
