Open Heaven 10 August
MEMORISE: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
BIBLE READING: 2 Kings 6:26-30 (KJV)
26 Then, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
27 And he said, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or from the winepress?” 28 Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you?”
And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”
30 Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes; and as he passed by on the wall, the people looked, and there underneath he had sackcloth on his body.

Considering the economic situation in the world today, anyone can see that divine intervention is urgently needed. The fact that a few nations, especially in the so-called developed world seem to be comfortably fed does not mean the world at large is economically stable. Although the household of the king may not have felt the heat of food scarcity in Samaria as keenly as the masses in our text of today, the reality of the famine was undeniable in that city.
In like manner, we cannot deny the heat of the economic crunch in the world today. I pray that, just as the Almighty God made divine supplies available for His children in todays Bible text, so also shall He do for us in this present time, in the mighty name of Jesus.The situation in Samaria, as seen in todays text was so bad that Elishas prophecy of abundant provision within twenty-four hours seemed too good to be true to those who did not know the power of Jehovah-Jireh.
Beloved, divine intervention defies natural laws and protocol. I pray that the Lord will intervene in every situation in your life as you read this today, in Jesus name.One lesson we should all learn from the story in today’s text is that whatever God says will happen shall surely come to pass. 2 Kings 7:16 records that:
“And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.”
One of my children told of the reality of poverty on the streets of London where some people beg for a spare penny to survive. According to him, these beggars are not even foreigners! This is also true of other so-called super powers including the United States, where there are thousands of homeless people.
Beloved, I can assure you that, in spite of the seeming economic affluence in some places, there is still poverty in many parts of the world. I pray for you that the Lord who intervened in the situation of Samaria will grant you divine supplies today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
ACTION POINT: Give your life to Jesus Christ today.If you are already born again,ask Him to turnaround every negative situation of your life today,even as He did for Samaria,in the mighty name of Jesus.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 41:1-34 , Job 42:1-17
