Month Theme: Explosion
Topic: The Allies of Timing
Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 4:27-37
Main Text:
Acts 1:8
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The prophet Elisha did not know the time the Shunammite woman’s son died but God gave him the power to raise him from the dead. He complained to God that He had hidden knowledge of the young man’s demise from him but when the crucial moment arrived, the prophet stepped up and destroyed the power of death (2 Kings 4:27, 32-37).
The boy had to die to be raised from the dead – God sometimes allows bad things to happen and hides them from us, so that miracles can take place. The explosion of the miracle working power of God is time sensitive – timing. The allies of timing are the factors that make timing effective in the occurrence of miracles.
1. Positioning
The Shunammite positioned herself with the prophet while she waited for her miracle (2 Kings 4:27). Where you locate or position yourself is very important.
2. Patience
Elisha prayed, lay on the boy and waited for him to be warm and sneeze seven times (2 Kings 4:32-35). We must be patient else we will miss God’s timing.
2 Kings 4:32-35
3. Partnership
Elisha got Gehazi involved in the miracle of raising the dead boy (2 Kings 4:36-37). He had a partner.
The explosion of the power of the Holy Ghost works by the same principle Jesus Christ operated on earth – the Lord was never in hurry to do things at the wrong time (John 2:3-4).
Prayer: Pray that you will always be in sync with God’s timing.
