UNBELIEVABLE BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE

May 28, 2014

In 2 Kings 4, there a woman of Shunem who despite the fact that the Bible did not say whether she was old or young, we could assume she was old because Bible says that her husband was old. She was so kind unto Elisha and Gehazi so much that she gave the prophet a permanent room in their own house. This act of kindness so much touched Elisha that she thought of what to do for them. Gehazi then informed Elisha that the family had no child.

Elisha asked the woman to come and then told the woman that, “About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son.” Bible says, she said, “Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.” It sounded too good to be true. It was unbelievable actually but it was never impossible. Verse 17 of that scripture says, “And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.”

In 2 Kings 7, when Elisha said, “To morrow 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.” It sounded good but unbelievable considering the level of famine in the land of Samaria at that time, so terrible that some people used their children for barbecue. The Minister of Finance of Samaria at that time couldn’t stomach it when he said, “Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?”

He has forgotten that with man, it might be impossible, but with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. Sir/ma, the promise of God concerning your precious life might sound unbelievable and too good to be true, but I tell you, it is not impossible if and only if you will believe.

Keep believing God no matter how unbelievable that promise might sound because whatever He says, He can and He will do!
