TOPIC : CELEBRATING THE GOD OF WONDERS
2 KINGS 20:5-6, 8-10
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears:* *behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken:
shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
King Hezekiah was sick, and prophet Isaiah was sent to deliver a message of doom to him.
Hezekiah rejected the evil report even though it was from the lips of a man from God.
When God saw his rugged faith, He honored it.
God honors the faith of men.
He told prophet Isaiah to return to Hezekiah and recant his words.
After Isaiah was done speaking to Hezekiah, Hezekiah insisted on a sign.
Isaiah told him that the Lord would make the day break by about ten hours faster.
Hezekiah said it was Normal for the day to break.
He wanted something that was not normal.
He wanted the ten hours to reverse.
Isaiah told the Lord, and it was done.
What manner of men were these men who could place these tough demands on God.
These are men propelled by God's kind of faith.
You too can hold God to His promises.
He is a wonder working God,
Hallelujah.
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
