II Kings 4

1. Be careful what you go after (4:38-39)

because he was not satisfied with what he was getting ready to receive from God

i. “wild vine” –

1. crooked thing – anything outside of what God has for you is crooked

c. it may taste good

d. it may sound good

i. but if is crooked it is going to pollute you sooner or later

a. independent, separate, uncontrolled, unconstrained, self-rule

i. stop going after the wild thing

i. There was a famine in the land, but yet they ALREADY had stew

1. when you live in the supernatural, God becomes your sufficiency

a. there were in Gilgal, it was the place of remembrance where God did something supernatural

i. remember that I was the one who got you through an impossible situation and I am the God who can do it again.

b. church is our Gilgal, it is the place where we remember where God is doing something supernatural and will continue to do something supernatural

1. What you need is in the house!

2. Be watchful what’s in your pot (4:40)

3. If you got bitterness in your pot, you will pour out bitterness out of your pot

4. If you got hidden agenda in your pot, you will pour out a hidden agenda out of your pot

a. Whatever is in you pot, sooner of later it will be pour out unto other

i. It can heal or it can hurt

2. this was a son of the prophet, but was pouring out death into the pot

ii. You can be sincere, but sincerely wrong
