Destiny Partner...
I trust that you had a great weekend....
Please allow me today to share with you the contrast between two powerful views that i have learned in the word of God, Gehazi and Elisha's view...And the basis of my article today is found in 2 Kings 6: 15 - 17...
"When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. 16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. "
2 KINGS 6:15-17 [NIV]
When the king of Assyria learned that Elisha, the prophet of God leaked his battle strategies with the king of Israel, he wanted to annihilate or destroy him.
As a result, he send out an army with horses and chariots to go and destroy this one man...Elisha. Isn't that amazing that a king would send out an army with horses and chariots to go and annihilate one man, one man?
In the above passage of scripture, we learn that Gehazi, Elisha's servant woke up in the morning, and saw that the entire city was surrounded with horses and chariots---their enemies. In other words, he saw that they were ambushed.
And the result? He was greatly terrifiend and dismayed...
His exact words of terror to Elisha were, "Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?
I love Elisha's reply..."Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
This reply tells us that Elisha saw something totally different to what Gehazi saw...
And instead of him praying for the deliverance for the predicament that they find themselves in...Elisha prays that Gehazi's eyes may be opened...WOW!
WAIT...These two people looked at the same situation but their response was totally different...When Gehazi saw death, Elisha saw the platform for God to show himself as God...
Destiny Partner...I don't know what you are going through right now. You might be in the valley of a decision about something that you perceive as bad in your life. You might have done the worst sin ever but i have news for you....when you see death, i choose to see the perfect plan of God taking its place in your life....
Pastor At (My Priest) has being teaching on destiny alot these days and many times when the devil tries to steal my joy over a 'fatal' mistake i have done, i remind him that, "all things work together for good of those who love the Lord...."
When you see death and failure, ask yourself, What would Elisha see in this situation?
Yours In Motivation...
