ELISHA AND THE KING

2 Kings 13:14-20 NLT

14 When Elisha was in his last illness, King Jehoash of Israel visited him and wept over him. “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” he cried.

15 Elisha told him, “Get a bow and some arrows.” And the king did as he was told. 16 Elisha told him, “Put your hand on the bow,” and Elisha laid his own hands on the king’s hands.

17 Then he commanded, “Open that eastern window,” and he opened it. Then he said, “Shoot!” So he shot an arrow. Elisha proclaimed, “This is the Lord’s arrow, an arrow of victory over Aram, for you will completely conquer the Arameans at Aphek.”

18 Then he said, “Now pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground.” So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. 19 But the man of God was angry with him. “You should have struck the ground five or six times!” he exclaimed. “Then you would have beaten Aram until it was entirely destroyed. Now you will be victorious only three times.”

20 Then Elisha died and was buried.

Question: If God wants to do some new and good things in my life, am I aware of it?

If so, am I willing to just simply do what He tells me to do?

My fight in 2024 will be the world, the flesh, and the devil so I must be aware, and follow His instructions. 

1 Peter 3:10 NKJV

“For “He who would love life

And see good days,

Let him refrain his tongue from evil,

And his lips from speaking deceit.”
