"Love The Lord Your God … Love Your Neighbour."

2 Kings 6:1-23Elisha was ‘the man of God’(6,9,15). This was the important thing about him. More than anything else, he was ‘the man of God’. We find the same phrase in 1 Timothy 6:11 - ‘But as for you, man of God,… aim at righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness’. We are to be people …

Grudge Giving, Duty Giving And Thanksgiving

2 Kings 11:1-12:21 Let us ‘make a covenant’- to ‘be the Lord’s people’, to ‘do what is right in the eyes of the Lord’(11:17; 12:2). Part of this ‘covenant’ will involve our use of ‘money’. Real covenanting with the Lord will always mean much more than how much money we give to Him. Real giving …

"I Bring You Good News Of A Great Joy … "

2 Kings 6:24-7:20We read, in 7:2, of ‘windows in heaven’. Malachi 3:10 also speaks of ‘the windows in heaven’. Calling us to ‘bring the whole tithe (tenth)’to Him, God invites us to look to Him to ‘open the windows of heaven and pour down an overflowing blessing’. In 7:9, we read of ‘a day of …

Looking beyond Jeroboam – to Jesus!

"And since the Lord had not said he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash" (2 Kings 14:27). Jeroboam played his part in bringing God's blessing to the people of Israel. As I read these words, my thoughts went beyond Jeroboam - to Jesus! What …

Let God’s Word Search Your Heart.

2 Kings 10:1-36 Jehu was a proud man: ‘Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord’(16). He was full of his own importance, a bit special, a bit out of the ordinary, a cut above the rest. God did not share Jehu’s opinion of himself - ‘Jehu was not careful to walk in …

We think, Lord, about the future, and all we can say is this, “We don’t know what the future holds.”

2 Kings 2:14-3:27We think, Lord, about the future, and all we can say is this, “We don’t know what the future holds.” We turn to You. We ask You, “What does the future hold for us?” You give us Your answer to our question. It may not be the answer that we were looking for …
