What to do

2 Kings 4:43-44

"How can I set this before a hundred men?" his servant asked. But Elisha answered, "Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the LORD says: 'They will eat and have some left over.' " Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.”

·      Have you ever notice that God never gives us just enough but he always gives us just a little more than our thoughts or our expectations can handle. Elisha and Gehazi are encountered not with another problem but with an opportunity. Whether it’s feeding 100 men or Jesus feeeding 5,000 men with 5 loaves and 2 fish, God always gives abundantly. I heard this quote yesterday that really tripped me out and it says, “PRAY like it DEPENDS on God and WORK like it DEPENDS on you.” Every great act or miracle of God wasn’t just totally depended on God, but it need the work of a Gehazi to set the table and give people the food, and it also the needed the faith of an Elisha to have that ridiculous faith even when those around you don’t believe. Like the book of James says, “faith without works is dead.” (2:17)

·      The Lord revealed to me three things that I need to start applying:

o      Dependancy on God- do I depend on God in every area of my life? Is he my provider, my shelter, my banner, my salvation? All these thoughts come to my mind. Like a baby depends on their mother and father for their next meal, for clothes, for shelter, and for a change; I too must be the same way with God, total dependancy on HIM.

o      MUSTARD SEED FAITH- this isn’t just your normal, “thank you Jesus for this food” kind of faith, this is the faith that is described in Matthew 17:20. The bible say that "without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God." if my faith is aligned with God, all things are possible!!

o      WORK HARD- I got to work hard! We all get to a certain age where we need to start working, there is no more mooching off of mom and dad, but what is it that you work for? We all work for that big paycheck. I know that sounds materialistic but have you thought about that in the spiritual realm also. If I work hard and put my hours in, my payback is going to be more and more of God. Work hard should be installed in our DNA, shoot God worked 6 days straight when he created everything known to mankind.
