REVELATION 3:1-5
In King
17:2-6, when the Lord told Elijah where to go for sustenance after bringing
drought on the land, he believed God’s word and promptly obeyed. That direction
the Lord gave and even confirmed to you, have you followed it? If not, what are
you waiting for? It is obedience to God’s instructions that brings blessings
(Isaiah 1:19-20). If Elijah had refused he would have starved to death. Another
lesson from this story is that the ravens never missed their way to Elijah at
the brook. This implies that whenever you are located in obedience, God’s
blessings will not miss their way to where you are, irrespective of the
geographical location.
Similarly, the birds did not eat out of Elijah’s bread. This also means that as long as you are in God’s will, the devil cannot steal your blessings. No matter how hungry the ravens were they could not touch the provision meant for Elijah. God specially reserved that meal and the birds knew if they dared to eat from it, they may forfeit subsequent provision from the One who daily feeds them. Your blessings are reserved. No enemy can touch what God has appointed for you this year as long as you walk in faith, obedience and holiness.
God commanded the birds to feed Elijah two times daily. This shows that eating morning and evening is just enough for us. He was fed with bread and meat while he drank water from the brook. God knows exactly what we need to grow up healthy. He is interested in our eating to be full so as to derive strength for the day’s activities and to enable the body to develop properly. God is however against gluttony and riotous eating which makes the eater of no spiritual use. How do you eat today? As a king unto God you are expected to watch your appetite, and eat at the right time and for the right reasons (Ecclesiastes 10:16-17).

land.
