The Word Today

II Kings 13:21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. As human, whenever we are faced with disappointment (especially from close friends or relatives) we tend to conclude that is the end for us. For children of God, this most times is a door way to greater glory. The people carrying the man to be buried in the text for today should be his close friends and relatives, which at the face of trouble abandoned the man to save their own lives. I can hear them say of what use is this dead man to us, he is a liability throw him away. Child of God, have you become a liability to your friends or relatives? Men may abandon you, friends and relatives may forsake you, cheer up God is about to take you over, you know what; they just abandoned you for God to do his thing in your life.   A word for you; don’t bother about some disappointments you have now, don’t bother about some separations you’re going through for God is working things out for you. The bible says ...all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his PURPOSE (Rom. 8:28).   Psalms 27:10; When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Let these words of David give you courage. Thank God that man did not give you that job; thank God that connection from that friend did not work, for God is set to take a greater glory over your life that is why all efforts of men to assist you have failed. Pray with me: Father, thank you for your love and care for me. Lord, disappoint every disappointment in my life and take me to unprecedented favour and glory in Jesus name.
