The Restorer Of Hope Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 6, 2018

God is a Giver of life and a restorer of hope. Crisis in life pushes us to look up to God and help us know Him in ways we cannot otherwise.

Big Shots? Really? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 23, 2017

No matter who we think we are, we are ultimately helpless, blubbering fools without God’s backing.

Big Shots? Really? (2 Kings 4:1-44) 1. A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started ...read more

All Is Well

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2014

Our common faith was expressed so aptly in the words of Dame Julian of Norwich - but these words were anticipated and exceeded by far by another great woman in today's Scripture passage.

ALL IS WELL. 2 Kings 4:18-26. In England’s original ‘second City’ - Norwich - there is a little church named after an all-but-forgotten Saint Julian, where worship is still conducted to this very day. Yet the church is not remembered for its patron, but for a certain 14th century recluse who ...read more

Ingredients For A Happy Marriage

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 16, 2016

This passage is famous for how God used Elisha to raise the son of the Shunamite couple from the dead than for the great relationship between the couple. If not for this great relationship between man and wife, the devil would have stolen their son.

SOME IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE 2 KINGS 4:8-25 8 One day Elisha went to Shunem. And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. 9 She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is ...read more

Don’t Limit Your Miracle!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 17, 2023

The woman’s limitation to believe staff can work hindered the miracle. If she would have trusted that the staff was enough for God to heal, that would have been enough for her miracle to manifest. This teaches us an important lesson that we can limit the power of God through our lack of faith.

The Bible has accounts of several miraculous healings both in the Old and New Testament: Namaan, being healed of his leprosy, Hezekiah healed of his lump, Bartholomew healed of his blindness, a man at Bethesda healed of his paralysis and the list continues. Even today, we hear testimonies around ...read more

It Is Well

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jan 28, 2023

"It is well", must have been the theme phrase of this Shunamite woman's life. She knew that there are things in life that we cannot control and yet she demonstrated her faith in God by keeping the standard in the face of extreme trials, knowing that He was in complete control.
