TOPIC : FAITH IN HARD TIMES
TEXT 2 KINGS 6:1-7
[1]And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
[2]Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
[3]And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
[4]So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
[5]But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
[6]And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
[7]Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
These men were on a legitimate pursuit to expand their terrain, their resources and their ministry.
They received the blessing of their prophet and the prophet even went with them yet disaster still struck.
They lost the equipment they borrowed for their business expansion.
It is more tolerable to lose what is yours, but losing what you borrowed is like double Jeopardy.
This was a very precarious situation but they went into action with the representative of their God.
I do not know what you are facing today, but if God is involved, it will still end up in praise.
Shout "I believe".
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day 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
