Read: 2 Kings 6:1-7 New King James Versions (NKJV)
1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.
2 Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there,
and let us make there a place where we may dwell.”
So, he answered, “Go.”
3 Then one said,
“Please consent to go with your servants.”
And he answered, “I will go.”
4 So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.
5 But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said,
“Alas, master! For it was borrowed.”
6 So the man of God said,
“Where did it fall?”
And he showed him the place.
So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float.
7 Therefore he said,
“Pick it up for yourself.”
So, he reached out his hand and took it.
Message:
A miracle happens when God suspends the law of nature in a particular situation.
For example, Jesus suspended the law of gravity for a while so He could walk on water.
It is often difficult to explain a miracle to unbelievers, because such occurrences defy natural understanding.
The good news is that it does not matter what the world may say, my Daddy is the miracle-working God and when He steps into a matter, miracles happen.
It has been in God’s nature from time immemorial to do miracles.
The creation of Heaven and earth was a miracle.
Every principle established on earth started as a miracle when first made.
Before it became normal for the sun to shine, God first performed the miracle of creation.
When Jesus (God the Son) came, He established Himself as a functional part of the Godhead by performing several novel miracles.
As many as these miracles were, the book of John 21:25NKJV says:
« And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. »
We will use our Bible reading as a typical example of a miracle. The sons of the prophets were carrying out a ministry building project when the axe head they borrowed fell into a deep river.
The one from whose hands it fell cried out for help and got it in the most amazing fashion. Prophet Elisha threw a light log of wood into the river and a very heavy axe head floated in its place while the wood sank like a rock.
God reverses principles to establish His will.
He is not controlled by the principles He created; He controls everything!
The principle of floatation was reversed, and the sons of the prophets were saved from embarrassment.
Nothing is impossible for the God of miracles (Luke 1:37). Put all your trust in Him.
I decree and declare God’s miraculous intervention into every situation that wants to embarrass you, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Prayer point: Father, please intervene in my life and turn all impossibilities to possibilities, in the mighty name of Jesus.
