NO IMPOSSIBILITY
Memorise: For with God nothing shall be
impossible. Luke 1:37
Read: 2nd Kings 2:9-10, Bible
in one year: Acts 10:1-12:5, Song of Solomon 2:8-17
Elijah told Elisha that he had asked a
hard thing, after the latter requested for a double portion of his anointing.
This tells us that even for a great prophet of God, there were things
considered hard and difficult. However, in Matthew 19:26, we are told that all
things are possible with God. The track record of God’s almightiness shows that
truly nothing can be difficult for Him. All we need to do is to leave
everything in His hands. He is capable of doing what no earthly president or
emperor can do because the Psalmist says that power belongs to God (Psalm
62:11). Even when a man promises to do something for you, what he can do is
limited to the extent his strength can carry him, whereas God has unlimited
power and resources. Also, the influence of a man determines what he can do to
influence your situation positively. The Almighty God is the Most influential.
In 2nd Kings 4:8-17. We read about a rich woman who took care of
Elisha and his servant. When Elisha wanted to say “thank you” for her
hospitality, the woman said she needed nothing because, not only was she
influential, she also has influential relatives. But her influence could not
remove her barrenness. The prophet who served the Most Influential God, pleaded
with the Almighty and she had a baby boy.
After Elisha requested a “hard thing”
from Elijah in 2 Kings 2:10, Elijah told him that:
“………...if
thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it
shall not be so.”
The lesson here is that we must have
focus. In other words, if you look up, you will receive help from heaven (Psalm
121:1-2). Paul in Ephesians 1:19-21, told us that God’s power is exceedingly
great towards us, it is far above all principalities, and powers and might, and
dominion, and every name that us named, not only in this world, but also in
that which is to come. This is what you need to look up to. You are likely to
see problems if you look down. If you focus on your problems and raging
challenges, you are likely to sink like Peter in Matthew 14:26-31. If you look
around, you are likely to see other people with similar problems to yours and
become complacent in seeking solution to your problem. In life, you are likely
to become what you focus your attention on. When I attended Kenneth Hagin’s
Camp meeting many years ago, what I saw encourage me to work towards having a
large congregation of saved and Heaven-bound believers. My aspiration became
bigger when I visited Yonggi Cho’s church in South Korea shortly after my
experience at Kenneth Hagin’s Camp meeting. Remember, there is no impossibility
with God.
Action Point
Focus on God and what He is capable of
doing for you. Ask for a hard thing.
