Take a confession for today from Juha chapter one, verse eight,
-
Chatter one, verse eight, they spoke of the law.
-
Shall not be pad from my mouth, but I shall
-
meditate day and night that I may observe to do
-
according to all that is written in it. For then
-
I'll make my way prosperous, and then I will have
-
good success.
-
In Amen. Today we bring you the final part of
-
the message Know your Place Part three, Stay humbled before
-
God's word. Know your Place Part three, Stay humbled before
-
God's Word. Our scripture reading shall be taken from Second
-
Kings chapter seven, verse one to eleven, and then from
-
the assisteing to to second King Stapture seven, verse one
-
to eleven, and then from sixteen to twenty I will
-
be reading from the new International version. Elisha replied, hear
-
the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord
-
says about this time tomorrow, a seer of the finest
-
flower will sell for a shekel, and two seers of
-
ballet for a sherkele. At the gates of Samaria, the
-
officer on whose arm the King was leaning said to
-
the manocole, Look, even if the Lord should open the
-
flat gates of heavens, for this happened, you will say
-
it with your own eyes, answered Elisha, But you will
-
not eat any of it. Now, there were four men
-
with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They
-
said to each other, whilst they hear, until we die.
-
If we say we'll go into the city, the farming
-
is there and we will die. And if we stay
-
here we will die. So let's go over to the
-
camp of the Arabians and surrender. If they spare us,
-
we'll live. If they kill us, then we die. At dusk,
-
they got up and went to the camp of the Ramians.
-
When they reached the edge of the camp, no one
-
was there. For the Lord had caused the Arabians to
-
hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army.
-
So they set to one another. Look, the King of
-
Israel has hired the hit Tiites and Egyptians kings to
-
attack us. So they got up and fled in the
-
dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys.
-
They left the camp as it was and ran for
-
their lives. The men who had leprosy reached the edge
-
of the camp, enter one of the tents and ate
-
and drank. Then they took silver, gold and clothes and
-
went off and hit them. They returned and entered another
-
tent and took some things from it and hid them also.
-
Then they said to each other what we are doing
-
is not right. This is a day of good news,
-
and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait
-
until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let's go at once
-
and report this to the royal palace. So they went
-
and called out the city gatekeepers and told them we
-
went into the Arabian camp and no one was there,
-
not a sound of anyone, only turted horses and donkeys,
-
and the tents left chase as they were. The gatekeepers
-
shouted the news, and it was reported within the palace
-
the verse sixteen to twenty. When the people went out
-
and plundered the camp of the Ramians, so a seer
-
of the finest flower sold for a shirtle, and two
-
seers of ballet sued for a sheircle, as the Lord
-
had said. Now the King had put the officer on
-
whose arm he leaned, in charge of the gates, and
-
the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died
-
just as the man of God had fortilled. When the
-
king came down to his house. It happened as a
-
man of God had said to the King, about this
-
time tomorrow, a seer of the finest flower will sell
-
for a sheirkele, and two seers of ballet for a
-
shakele at the gates of Samaria. The officer had said
-
to the man of God, Look, even if the Lord
-
should open the flat gates of heavens, could this happened.
-
The man of God had replied, you will see it
-
with your own eyes, but she will not eat any
-
of it. And that is exactly what happened to him,
-
For the people trampled him in the gates with and
-
he died. The Lord add his blessings to the reading
-
and hearing of his word.
-
Fancy God, Amen, know your place Part three, stay humbled
-
before God's word, beloved. In the pat two of Know
-
Your Place, we lend that one of the quickest ways
-
to lose what God has given us is to begin
-
acting as though we gave it to ourselves. Vasty for
-
God who placed the crown upon her head, but esther
-
never did. And we saw how humility preserved what pride forfeited.
-
Today we arrive and perhaps the greatest test of humility
-
our response to the word of God. From our opening scriptures,
-
we saw that the city of Samaria was in the
-
gripe of one of the worst famines in its history.
-
Food had become almost impossible to find, Desperation failled every home.
-
Then into that hopeless situation, the prophet Elijah spoke an
-
astonishing promise. Tomorrow about this time, a measure of fine
-
flowers shall be sold for a shekel. It sounded impossible.
-
Standing beside the king was one of his chief officers,
-
a man of influence and authority. The scriptures describe him
-
as the officer upon whose hand the king leaned. He
-
was no ordinary man, Yet instead of receiving the word
-
with humility, he answered, look, if the Lord would make
-
windows in heaven, could this thing be Notice what happened.
-
He was not speaking to another officer. He was responding
-
to the word of God spoken through God's prophet. He
-
forgot where he stood. His reasoning quietly rose above God's revelation.
-
Elijah answered solemnly, in fact, you shall see it with
-
your eyes, but you shall not eat of it. And
-
exactly as God had spoken, the farming ended. Overnight, food
-
became super abundant. The officer witnessed the miracle, yet died
-
at the city gate before he could partake of it. Beloved,
-
this account is not preserved merely to warn us against unbelief.
-
It teaches us something deeper. There is a posture the
-
heart must maintain whenever God speaks. We may not fully
-
understand his ways. We may not see how his promises
-
will come to pass. We may wrestle with questions, but
-
we must never place our reasoning above his word. The
-
safest place for every believer is beneath the authority of scripture.
-
I take it again, The safest place for every believer
-
is beneath the authority of Scripture. This same temptation still
-
confronts us today. God says, forgive our emotions, say hold
-
on to the offense. God says, give our calculations. Say
-
wait until there is more. God says, do not fear
-
our circumstances, say panic. Every day we are deciding which
-
voys will occupy the highest place in our hearts. Beloved,
-
Knowing our place means allowing God's word to have the
-
final say. It means approaching scripture not as its editor,
-
but as its students, not as its judge, but as
-
It's sevant. For whenever God's word and our opinions stand
-
or post, one of them has bow. May it never
-
be God's word, precious one, Let us know our place.
-
Let us remain humble before his word. Let us trust
-
even when we cannot trace him. For heaven and earth
-
may pass away, but his word shall never fail. God,
-
richly bless you, Let us kindly take our memory verse
-
for today. Our memory verse is taken from Anxiet chapter
-
fifty five, from the verse aide to nine, ASI chapter
-
fifty five from the verse age to nine. I will
-
be reading from the New King James version for my
-
thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your wyte my ways,
-
says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than
-
the earth, so am I ways higher than your ways,
-
and my thoughts than your thoughts. For my thoughts are
-
not your thoughts, nor are you waste my ways, says
-
the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
-
so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
-
thoughts than your thoughts. Aimen, Please let us share a
-
word of prayer. Our heavely Father, We thank you for
-
the blessing of this word. Please give us a heart
-
that always trembles at your word. Please deliver us from
-
pride on belief, and every tendency to place our reasoning,
-
no matter how sound, above your world. Teach us to
-
trust you even when we cannot understand your ways. Please
-
let your word always have the highest authority in our lives.
-
In Jesus a thing, Amen.
-
This marks the end of the series on know your place.
-
Always remember that the deliver who knows his place before
-
God will never lose his place in the purpose of God.
-
Let us keep walking before God in all humility. God,
-
richly bless you our morning glory devotion will come your
-
way again on Monday morning by Ghost Grease. At the
-
same time, keep your dolls right here on Radio HCI
-
