Topic: LET THE MASTER JESUS GO WITH YOU

MEMORIZE: “Then one said, "Please consent to go with your servants." And he answered, "I will go." 2 Kings 6:3.

SCRIPTURE READING: 2 Kings 6:1-7.

“And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us. "Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell." So he answered, "Go." Then one said, "Please consent to go with your servants." And he answered, "I will go." So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, "Alas, master! For it was borrowed." So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float. Therefore he said, "Pick it up for yourself." So he reached out his hand and took it.” 

EXPOSITION:

It is a good thing to discover yourself. It is the primary step to recovery. But we must still remember that self discovery without God’s backup and provision will not produce result expected. The sons of the prophets discovered that the place where they dwell before Elisha was too small for them and that they need a larger place for their convenience; which is symbol of greatness and expansion in life and ministry. You don’t ask for expansion when you have not outgrown your current space. We all dream to be big, fruitful and fulfilled, the reason why we pray to God to bless the work of our hand and prosper us in all we lay our hands upon.

But after self-discovery, we need God’s presence to journey with us because there are lots of challenges in our daily living. It is written, “The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits. Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.” Proverbs 16:1-3. All our thought and the preparation of our hearts are always good with well calculation of success at the end, but God is the One that know what lies ahead. The answer of the tongue is from the LORD. Therefore, we must commit our works to the Lord, then our thoughts will be established and prospered.

The presence of prophet Elisha really saved them from serious trouble that would have rendered their efforts a futile. “But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, "Alas, master! For it was borrowed." So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float. Therefore he said, "Pick it up for yourself." So he reached out his hand and took it.” Proverbs 6:5-7. Allow God to give you approval in all you are to do and let Him accompany you in doing it. Let God journey with you in your marriage and in your business. Whenever the storm of life besieges you, His presence will be the one to run to for safety. Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.”

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, Journey with me unto greatness in my marriage and my daily business/work in Jesus name.
