GOD CAN TURN THINGS ROUND OVERNIGHT!

2 Kings 7:17…So everything happened exactly as the man of God had predicted when the king came to his house.

Samaria was under siege and the whole city was literally starving to death because the Aramean army was deliberately starving them out. Four lepers sat at the city gate chatting about the dire situation they were in and decided to think outside their box. They were social outcasts because of their leprosy, and were people who others discounted, as of no importance, yet God used them.

Have you ever felt discounted sometimes, that you didn’t fit in to the social order of things, or your face didn’t fit because of your Christian beliefs? The one who others maybe overlook because you don’t behave the way they do? If so, be encouraged because God shows us how He turns things round in our favour.

Elisha had told the King everything would change by morning, that there would be plenty for everybody, but the king’s officer scoffed at the prophet and said that would never happen! Elisha told him he’d see it happen but wouldn’t be able to eat any of it!

Sometimes we hear or read things in scripture which we find hard to believe and our unbelief kicks in instead of our faith! Listen, absolutely nothing is impossible with God! If He tells us something, we can believe it! See what happens…

The four lepers went to the Aramean camp thinking they would die whether they stayed or whether they went. They discovered God had gone ahead of them and frightened the enemy so much they’d fled for their lives and left everything behind, food included. The lepers ate their fill, took silver, gold and clothing, then went back to their city to share their good news. The king’s officer who had scoffed God’s word the day before was trampled to death at the gate with the rush of people running to get food! 

God can literally turn things around overnight! If He has said something let’s agree with Him, regardless of how impossible it may seem. Remember, it’s a simple thing for God! Let Him help us to think beyond our own limitations, what we think could be, and take us into His realm of ‘all things are possible with Him’.

He wants to bless us, heal us, prosper us and turn things around for us. Let’s believe it! Will you join me and say in faith today “I believe it! I receive it! Thank You for it Lord!”😊
