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
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
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:
2Wonderful 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!
