TOPIC : THE FORCE OF HOPE
TEXT 2 KINGS : 18-23
[18]And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
[19]And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
[20]And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
[21]And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
[22]And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
[23]And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
This shunnammite woman hoped against hope.
She was biblically a type of Abraham.
Abraham hoped against hope that he would become the father of nations even though he was impotent and Sarah barren.
This woman hoped for a resurrection of her son.
She might not have see one before but she knew that her lively hope would give birth to a living boy.
Beloved, your story is the next to be celebrated.
Keep hope alive.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled Sunday in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
