Possess Your Possessions

Possess Your Possessions

At a time in Israel, when their golden age ceased for a while, the Lord, God of Israel sent a message saying, "By this time tomorrow in the markets of Samaria, five quarts of choice flour will cost only one piece of silver, and ten quarts of barley grain will cost only one piece of silver.”

This sounded terrifying to every ears who heard it. Some thought it was a diplomatic ploy by Elisha because it was a time of grave threat for the nation of Israel.

Of many people who heard this word from the Lord through Elisha, the officer assisting the king disdained the prophecy, and said to the man of God—Elisha, “that couldn’t happen even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven!”

I am sure the officer must have also giggled while dooming himself through his deranged confession. But Elisha replied, “You will see it happen with your own eyes, but you won’t be able to eat any of it!”

About the same time the following day, everything happened exactly as the man of God had predicted, for the people trampled the officer to death at the gate!

Similarly, many of us usually ignore, abandon, devalue and even take the word from God for our life for granted because of situations which surround them. We need to grow into the light of God working wonders and miracles through our confession not minding any adverse condition around it.

Out of each one of us flows rivers of living water; words of life; right and positive confession; words of peace; and commands of heavenly riches. These, and many more are the ones the Lord has placed on our tongues! 

You have everything it takes. Just make the confession. Just command it in the name of Jesus. And when you have this, why should you wait for the Lord any longer? Be encouraged! Go and possess your possessions! Now!
