BEAUTIFUL TURN AROUND


When we began 2012, I was believing God for some beautiful things(I am not totally selfish, it’s for myself, family and others) and looking at how many days we have left, my un-met expectations are staring me in the face, mocking me and saying “it is too late for this year”. I want to tell that voice that
 

THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY GOD, THE TIME IS NOT TOO SHORT FOR HIM TO MEET MY EXPECTATIONS, HIS ARMS ARE NOT TOO SHORT TO SAVE NEIGHTER IS HE TOO FAR TO REACH ME BEFORE THIS YEAR RUNS OUT!!!! HIS ABILITIES ARE AS (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) BELOW, HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.

 

1, Israel & Moab War
and he said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Dig ditches all over this dry stream bed. Even though you will not see any rain or wind, this stream bed will be filled with water, and you, your livestock, and your pack animals will have plenty to drink.’” And Elisha continued, “But this is an easy thing for the Lord to do; he will also give you victory over the Moabites. You will conquer all their beautiful fortified cities; you will cut down all their fruit trees, stop all their springs, and ruin all their fertile fields by covering them with stones.”

The next morning, at the time of the regular morning sacrifice, water came flowing from the direction of Edom and covered the ground. 2Kings 3: 16-20
 

2, Prophet’s widow, her sons and a jar of oil
What shall I do for you?” he asked. “Tell me, what do you have at home?”

“Nothing at all, except a small jar of olive oil,” she answered.

“Go to your neighbors and borrow as many empty jars as you can,” Elisha told her. 4 “Then you and your sons go into the house, close the door, and start pouring oil into the jars. Set each one aside as soon as it is full.” 2Kings 4: 2-3

 
3, Rich Woman from Shunem gets a son

PART 1:
Tell her to come here,” Elisha ordered. She came and stood in the doorway, and Elisha said to her, “By this time next year you will be holding a son in your arms.”

“Oh!” she exclaimed. “Please, sir, don't lie to me. You are a man of God!”

But, as Elisha had said, at about that time the following year she gave birth to a son. 2Kings 4: 15-17
 
PART 2:
Elisha called Gehazi and told him to call the boy's mother. When she came in, he said to her, “Here's your son.” She fell at Elisha's feet, with her face touching the ground; then she took her son and left.
2Kings 4: 36-37

 
4, Naaman Is Cured
So Naaman went down to the Jordan, dipped himself in it seven times, as Elisha had instructed, and he was completely cured. His flesh became firm and healthy like that of a child. 2Kings 5: 14

 

5, Ten pounds of the best wheat for one piece of silver
Elisha answered, “Listen to what the Lord says! By this time tomorrow you will be able to buy in Samaria ten pounds of the best wheat or twenty pounds of barley for one piece of silver.” 2Kings 7: 2

 

Wonderful people, have you been hearing those same voices? Mine are already silent after prayerfully reading the passages above. I hope the passages above have been able to give you renewed hope that He is able to do much more than we ever thought or imagined and irrespective of how this year ends, He is always on time.

 

BE HAPPY!
