CHANGE IN 1440 MINUTES



READ: 2 KINGS 7:1-2
“Then Elisha said, Hear you the word of the LORD, Thus says the LORD, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in 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 a complete turn around within 1440 minutes. 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 Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Almighty God.
God can do a great deal in 1440 minutes. In Exodus 14:21-28, God made a way through the Red Sea, drowned the Egyptians and put paid to their slavery forever – all within 1440 minutes! In Daniel 6:16-24, God stooped the lions and promoted Daniel within one day. 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 this Devotional. Within the next 1440 minutes, God will visit you and completely turn your life and situation around for the best. When this materializes, 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 1440 minutes peace will be restored to your home. Within 1440 minutes, 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.
MEMORIZE: 2 KINGS 7:1 –Then Elisha said, Hear you the word of the LORD, Thus says the LORD, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
