TOPIC: Seek The Lord And Walk By Faith
TEXT: 2 Kings 13:1-25(NKJV)
MESSAGE: During the reign of Jehoahaz, the anger of God was aroused yet again, because the king did evil in the sight of God. God allowed Hazael king of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to overpower Isreal to such an extent that many of the Israelites left their homes (vv. 3-5). The only reason Israel survived was because of God’s covenant with their patriarchs – Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(vv. 22-23).
Jehoahaz eventually sought the Lord; the Lord listened to his plea and provided a saviour for Israel that gave Israel rest for some time. His son, Jehoash, succeeded him. Even though he did evil in the sight of God, he visited Elisha concerning the situation of Isreal. Although Elisha was ill to the point of death, he predicted the victory of Israel.
That singular act of humble plea from Jehoahaz restored the Israelites back to their land. God answers those who in humility wholeheartedly seek Him in times of need (Ps. 46:1, Heb. 4:16). Jehoash also sought the help of God and got corresponding victory over the Syrians according to his faith (vv. 19, vv.25b). Let us learn to seek the Lord and walk by faith to be over-comers in all situations. God delivers all those who put their total trust in Him.
PRAYER: O my Father, help me to always act in faith and find help in times of need, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
QUOTE: When I open My hand, I provide for all that I created. Psalm 145:16
