TEXT: 2 Kings  4:1 

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

Sometimes, you may feel like quitting or giving up, because life can be very pressing and demanding. As a child of God, you must know that your end point is not and cannot be God's end point. Your scarcity and limitation is not your reality in God. There is no scarcity and limitation in God.

The widow of the prophet whose husband had just died, is now being confronted with the assault and social embarrassment of recovery officers from the creditor where her husband borrowed from.

They were going to take away her two sons, and perhaps turn them to slave in order to pay their father's debt. 

Knowing the implication of these losses,  her husband's death and two sons going into slavery, the widow ran to prophet Elisha to seek for help. 

The question I continue to ask myself is:"why didn't the son of the prophet himself run to Elisha to help him resolve his indebtedness problem before he died?" I guess that's the same problem with many today. The son of the prophet must have taken the relationahip he had with Elisha for granted. He must have thought that he wouldn't be able to help as far as the issue of his huge debt is concerned. 

As for the widow, she refused to throw in the towel. She refused to quit. She refused to allow her present predicament to swallow her up. She summoned courage and cried out for help.  

In the same vein, you need to reach out to the LORD to help you out of your present predicament. He will surely help you. He will come through for you. He will save your children and bring you into abundance that is beyond your imagination.

 *Don't quit, hang on, the LORD is just right on the way! He will surely come through for you again!* 

 *Bible Reading:* 

2Kings 4:1-7.

 **PRAYER FOCUS** 

Father Lord, please grant me the grace not to quit or give up in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
