YOUR BEST IS ON THE WAY
Memorise: But as it is
written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1st
Corinthians 2:9
Read: 1st Kings
19:19-21, Bible in one year: Ezra 4:1-6:12, Ecclesiastes 6:1-9
Elisha was a rich man even by
current standards. He was the son of a wealthy farmer. Using today’s
agricultural terminology, we can say that Elisha’s father had twelve “tractors”
working for him on his large farmland. A farmer who has twelve tractors must
without doubt be classified as a millionaire. Although Elisha was rich, he did
not know that God had something greater for him. In most instances, people
often hold on to what is good and miss out on the better and the best. Those who
have experienced a measure of success or financial prosperity, tend to settle
for the minimum while the maximum is begging to be possessed. The tragedy of
this situation is that, those who have achieved just a minimum level of
prosperity concluded that there is no better level to attain. Some people climb
few rungs on the ladder of progress and settle down, whereas the Almighty God
has planned to take them to the highest level of wealth attainable. Elisha
thought he was wealthy, but he did not know that a day was coming when kings
would serve him and call him “Father”! He thought he was going to die a rich
farmer, but God had a different plan for him. In like manner, God has a
glorious plan for you. Presidents will serve you before you leave this world in
Jesus’ Name. the Bible says:
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him.” 1st Corinthians 2:9
Elisha was wise. He traded
his level of achievement for a higher one by allowing God to have His way in
his life. Elisha decided to surrender sugar for honey. On the day the mantle of
Elisha fell upon him, his destiny changed. God brought him to the realm of
ultimate greatness. Elisha knew that to receive ultimate greatness from God, he
needed to surrender what he was holding on to. You must offer God what appears
to be your best at the moment, so that He can give you what is better than your
best. How will God give you the best He has in store for you? What will God do
to make you rich beyond your widest imagination? I really don’t know. However,
what I know is that God can do anything just to bless you. Whatever He has
promised, He definitely will fulfil to the letter.
