READ: 2
KINGS 7:1
“Then Elisha said,
“Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: ‘Tomorrow about this time a
seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a
shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’””. (2 kings 7:1).
Samaria had been surrounded so completely by enemies that after they exhausted their food supply, they began to eat their children. God is such a merciful God. He saw what was going on and sent help from above. He sent his servant Elisha to tell the king of Samaria that there will be complete turnabout within 24 hours. Who is the One talking so confidently about tomorrow? He is the One who knows tomorrow; the One who sees the end of a thing at its beginning. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, Almighty God.
God can do a great deal in 24 hours. In Exodus 14:21-28, God made a way through the Red Sea, drowned the Egyptians and put paid to their slavery forever – within 24 hours! In Daniel 6:16-24, God stopped the lions and promoted Daniel within 24 hours. The widow of 2 Kings 4 was given 24 hours to clear her debts or have her children taken as slaves. God not only paid her debts but also provided enough for her and her household to live on for the rest of their lives.
There is someone who is currently reading this devotional. Within the next 24 hours, God will visit you and completely turn your life and situation around for the best. When this materialises, do not fail to give testimony of God’s faithfulness to seal up your blessing. Within 24 hours, the siege over your life will be over. Within 24 hours that persistent illness, disability or condition will be over. Within 24 hours, peace will be restored to your home. Within 24 hours, that situation of acute poverty and lack will be turned into great riches, prosperity and abundance. Only believe. All things are possible to those who believe. If God has done it before, he can do it again. Your case is no exception.
