2 King 8
8:1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise, and depart with your household, and sojourn wherever you can, for the Lord has called for a famine, and it will come upon the land for seven years.”

This woman was not poor. She had land, except for a son, whom the Lord gave her in advance age.

Now she has everything, riches and a son, why should she be removed and departed from her wealth.. so what if the famine come, she had riches that can withstand it...

Such are worldly thoughts and humanly thinking. I pray and as the Lord continue to minister to me on opening my spiritual eyes, speak to me as clear as Elisha spoke, that I may believe.

I also remembered that when Elisha spoke to the woman regarding a son, she disbelived. 2Kings4:16 And he said, “At this season, about this time next year, you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, O man of God; do not lie to your servant.”

10 fold, you will multiply II by 10 fold. I pray that this is not just human imagination, but what you say, you can and will bring them to past.

I pray Psa 62:10
10 Put no trust in extortion;
set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

2 king 8:v6So the king appointed an official for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, together with all the produce of the fields from the day that she left the land until now.”

I pray and ask for the returns...

Such are the feelings in my heart, a struggle between the blessings and the riches of the world. In one hand to bless and glory God from the riches, yet on the other hand worry about the heart that is right.

It will be nice to have the riches. I read about how a businessman gave 250k to a temple because the gods bless him in his business. I read about how NTu gave $1M to Sichuan for earthquake victims.

On one hand, I pray that II will raise up to that status, but I too know my heart, that I want II name to be in the newspaper or worst - my name.

Lord, what a struggle in me. To be with you will be enough, not my will but yours. I do not want a name for myself, that I will lose my self. I want my heart to be right with you, so that even with your blessings in riches and wealth, I will bless others and so with not even a thought to glory myself.

I pray for II to raise up to that occassion. Amen.
