Gold From The Word
:How Your Attitude To The Word
Affects you.

In the light of all the bad news being churned out about the economy The Lord put in our hearts to share this Biblical experience with you from the Book of 2 Kings.
In 2 Kings 6 Benhadad invades the Northern Kingdom of Israel and lays siege to Samaria. There is such a famine in the city that women decide to eat one another’s kids. When the King of Israel hears about this he girds himself with sackcloth and seeks to kill Elisha. When they meet Elisha prophecies,

2Ki 7:1  Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

As expected, there will always be skeptics of the Word of God. A highly placed Lord in the kingdom who understands the science of crisis and siege-logy declares that the prophecy is impossible. With such great faith in his doubt the lord disqualifies himself from the coming blessing. Elisha tells him that he will see the word come to pass but shall be excluded from its joys.

2Ki 7:2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
When the prophecy comes to pass it does so in the most unexpected way. God uses lepers to bring the good news.
2Ki 7:3  And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
2Ki 7:4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

The lepers decide that inaction is not an option. During a crisis inaction is not an option. We need to do something to attract god’s Blessings. When the lepers tried to do something they met with the abundant supply of the Almighty. While they had feared for their lives they remained hungry. “They are overwhelmed by the catch.”
They had two options; horde the good news and let calamity overtake them, or, pass on the good news and let everyone share the blessings. They chose the latter and became the bringers-of-good-news to the entire city.

2Ki 7:5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
2Ki 7:6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
2Ki 7:7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
2Ki 7:8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.2Ki 7:9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
2Ki 7:10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
2Ki 7:11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
2Ki 7:15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
2Ki 7:16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

Good news always has its casualties, those who in the first place have always doubted its possibility. The lord who had doubted at first dies in the stampede that follows the good news.

2Ki 7:17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.

Every crisis has the potential for bringing good to those who always look for a silver lining in a dark cloud, while for those who only see doom and are so certain of it, the outbreak of good things always crushed them to death. That is exactly what doubting God will do to any Christian at this time. If I were to have a word for all Christians at this time I will say, “ Hear me people of God. This crisis is not here to mar you but to make you.
Watch out, wait on the Lord, and trust in Him. Do something he puts on your heart. You will be full of joy when the dust settles. Don’t think of doom, and you will not be doomed. Remember that He is the God of all sufficiency.

God Bless You.~ Joshua.
