2 Kings 4: 28
' Did I ask you for a son, my Lord?' she said. ' Didn't I tell you," Don't raise my hope. NIV
THEME ; WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THE STORM
Hallelujah child of God. Praise be to God for the Grace of today. I would like to share from the experience the Shunemite went through.
Before Elisha went to her , she was barren yet the husband was of age. Later on, God remembered her and she bore a baby boy by God's word spoken through Elisha
What seemed to be joy soon turned into sorrow and disappointment when the boy suddenly died. This would not have been a concern to me but the greatest concern was the speech after her son's death. Then she said ' Did I ask for a son ,my Lord? And didn't I say don't deceive me and get my hopes up? NLT)
The above statement is often made by many of us in Life questions such as;
- did I tell you to prophesy wealth upon my life and my business is stuck
- did I ask for a minister for a husband ? My children don't even have a moment with their father.
- did I ask you to save me? Temptations are overwhelming me.
- did I ask for a ministry? I am being persecuted day and night.
Well, the message I have for you is that Isaiah 49:15 surely a woman may forget her child in the market but your God who called you us faithful and will never leave nor forsake you. So stop blaming and instead glorify God.
