EXERCISING GREAT CONFIDENCE WHEN YOU HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE LORD - Capacity Building Series 010
II Kings 4:21, KJV
"And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out."
Many people are in trouble today because they don't have their blessings and endowments come from above. Some might have gone below, asking of bottom powers. Others, of men who now spite them. However, good and perfect gift comes from above (where God is seated and enthroned). May God enrich you to live above the purchase of second hand gadgets. Second hand buyers shouldn't expect any guaranty or any kind of compensation when the product all goes faulty. If you buy from the factory or the show room for instance, it's part of their policy to review it, take back that good and give you a perfect one instead. A contradiction to buying from places with no such policy or guaranty. That'll be endangering oneself. Wittily said by someone, "you're on your own." Can you return such goods? No! That'll be the consequence for not having gone to the perfect source where there's recourse for such thing.
When the child of this woman has been ascertained to have died, she did one thing that impresses me and surely impressed God. She laid the child on Elisha's bed. She was saying, "what you have given me, I have return to you. See to it God!" This woman remains in faith despite the evil that has come on her. She keeps her faith and this even reflects in her confession of "all is well" which she echoes repeatedly.
When she got hold of Elisha, her ask was, "did I ask of you a child? Did I not ask you not to deceive me?" In essence, she was speaking to God who had made the promise of a child to her. In no time, God answers and rouses Himself to give her a miracle. God is committed to the cause of everything He brings into being. In Yoruba language, we'll say, "ti Oluwa ni", meaning "God's own." If it's indeed God's own, God will care and watch over it. So, if you are sure your children are God's own, you can be sure that God will fix them. Are you beginning to notice misbehaviour in any of them? Return them back to God who gave them to you. Lay them down in a prostrated manner before God. 'Naked' them and the issues at hand before God. Don't keep anything from God. Let Him behold the good and perfect gift He afore gives you and then declare to you why they shouldn't be perfect still. However, you must first of all be sure that they are God's own and are gifts that originated from God.
All of us know where we got what we possess from. This includes our spouses and all properties alike. One man's car was crushed in an accident, he cried to God saying, "God, look at your car. It's gone. Will you not provide a better one?" In no long time, he receives a new one even as a gift. If God indeed gives you all you have and you survive on, you can as well call Him and hold Him responsible for renewal. That is, if you'll trust in this sure process and not let your own hands rush to architect imperfect blessings for yourself. I say, "return that good to the Lord." He'll send another anew.
PRAYER: Lord, perfect my children in obedience. Is anything lacking in your life: health, finance etc. Ask His good gift and perfect gift.
