CHILD, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS FOR YOU? - On Your Side Series 002
Read II Kings 6:8-19
II Kings 6:15 KJV
"15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?"
May you know what is for you and discover same before the need. Knowing stops fearful laments. A time of need will always come upon us all. That time is when we are taken beyond ourselves. When such moment steals on you, may you know what has been provided for your peace so that your mountain won't melt or slide. Not knowing will make Satan take advantage of you. Ignorance is still costly.
Luke 19:42, KJV
"Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes."
When the very things by which you could have gained a heart of wisdom, calculate better, live a victorious life is hid from your eyes, it means you'll reap consequences. You'll become vague, lacking in understanding of time, get misguided, misbehave and get punished. A provision provided by God but not leveraged somewhere is a handle of exploitation for Satan in any life. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:11 that, "put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Some made choices of few while some didn't take at all yet provision is made available and made in full for all. Irrespective of the individual reasons given, you face all you face for not leveraging your infrastructure. Any who won't wear the whole armour should get ready for the consequences. Such will never for once be able to resist the wiles of the devil, withstand him and then stand after all (Eph. 6:13).
A time of need stole on Elisha and servant. All the intelligent information he has been giving Israel to put them ahead of Syria has made him the most wanted man now. The Syrian King won't mind putting a bounty on his head. No wonder he sent such a force to grip him and bring him hither. The army by their own intelligence arrived at night and encamped round the dwelling of Elisha. What else could anyone do than to surrender? However, the commodore, Elisha is not ready for banter or bargaining. At the discovery of the sort of mess they are in, Elisha's servant sent a shriveling note of fear and worry to him. Like a drunken master, Elisha replied with utmost calmness, "they that be with us are more than they that be with them." "What are you telling me? Let's prove it." He turned round to behold the said dispatch. He was the more confused when he couldn't see any special infantry unit or air borne paratroopers descending and bearing Israel's flag or badge. He then wondered who and where the provision his master described were. The disbelief with which he must have gazed upon Elisha made him usher him into the realities of what he saw which consequently made his own mountain strong too. When he went a step further to pray his eyes open so that he might verify these provisions himself, he saw for himself that his master had not been under the influence of an inducer or a narcotic. At that instance, he was the one calling for trouble and stirring the Syrian army to come. This is what the knowledge of one's infrastructure does to one. Though the mountains be removed and planted in the sea, you're not moved. Now that he has affirmed that they (those promised or said to be with Elisha and he are indeed there), he went into rest. The problem is still the problem but understanding is now present. Child, God is asking, "do you know what's for you?" Soldiers know what's for them. They know their country, barracks, military bases, spies, backup unit, mission leader and arsenal of weapons are for them as treasures to tap into during operations. Have you discovered same for yourself? What are God's provision for you? Angels are one and these are not ordinary creatures. They're ones that can't be dented by humans and outperformed in the spirit. Probably you're surrounded and you're in need of weapons or assurance from God. If you know of God's allocation for your victory, you won't melt when you see what implement the enemy has brought to battle you. Nothing puts Elisha under pressure because he knows by all means that the army dispatched for his needs are spirit compared to that of flesh someone fears. In a twinkle, they'll execute the plan. On this he rests and orders his servant into. However, an unbelieving generation like his servant won't believe he had any provision on ground when he spoke of their arrival to him until he sees them. It was not a greater fact when his opened eyes saw those infrastructures than he heard Elisha proclaim, "on our side is a greater force!" Does that tells you that humans of flesh may not believe what they can't experience. As for Elisha, his knowing there's a provision for them came from seeing those invisible host. For another to believe, the invisible must become present to him. That's why that servant was caused to enter into the knowing of his master so he'll become equal in revelation (knowledge) and then act with Elisha. Until then, he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief or take the position of a carefree Jonah who sleeps in the eye of the storm. I don't know the challenges that surround you. All of it put together isn't up to the vast resources God has provided to have the challenges solved. Satan isn't the problem any longer if you'll recon with your forces, clothe yourself with God's full armour and go war a good warfare.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Kings 5:1-6:38; Acts 7:1-29; Psalm 127:1-5; Proverbs 16:28-30
PRAYER: God of enlightenment, enlighten me for unique revelation and unique responses. I want to JESUS and sleeps while it storms.
