"BROKEN AGREMENT"
2Kings 6 ; 31 ; 33.
May God kill me if I don't execute Elisha this very day, the King vowed. Elisha was sitting in his house at a meeting with the elders of Israel when the king sent a messenger to summon him. But before the messenger arrived Elisha said to the elders, this murderer has sent a man to kill me, when he arrives, shut the door and keep him out, for his master will soon follow him. While Elisha was still saying this, the messenger arrived followed by the king. The LORD has caused this mess, the king stormed. Why should I expect any help from Him.
WHY MUST ELISHA DIE ?
May God kill me if I don't kill Elisha this very day, the king vowed. Was Elisha the problem of Israel? What was the sin of Elisha?
The Bible says, that king Benhadad of Syria mustered his entire army and besieged Samaria, and a result there was a great famine in the city. It was the great famine that caused two women in the city of Samaria to agreed eating there sons, later one of them refused killing her son for food.
CONVENANT OF BLESSINGS AND CURSES.
Israel refused to obey God's instructions, it resulted to famine, because God had warned them earlier. In Deut. 28 ; 1 ; 68, contains the blessings and curses that was agreed by Israel. Israel sinned by rejecting God's leadership it resulted to famine and trouble of siege. It was predicted in the book of Deut.28 ; 47 ; 57 that if Israel fails to obey the law of God, the following things would happened to them.
*The LORD will bring a Nation from far that have no respect for their young or old.
*They will devour your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed.
*They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land.
*Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters.
DON'T BREAK THE HEDGE.
Ecc. 10 ; 8b says, .........whoso breaketh an HEDGE, a Serpent shall bite him. Let's re-examine ourselves if we still with Almighty God. Rejecting God's law can lead to suffering, siege and trouble in our lives, homes, communities, cities and Nations.
THE STORY CHANGER.
However, Almighty God who is rich in mercy decides to change the ugly situation into a beautiful one by providing to the Nation Israel with food, clothes, horses, money etc.
Whatever you are going through now, JESUS CHRIST THE STORY CHANGER will change your STORY HE will make you smile again as you turn to Him as your LORD and personal saviour.
