Speaker 1: We are Pastor and Dickineskilsen from the Harveys Stop one International.
Speaker 1: Then Yamico Mercy, and we consider it's a great joy
Speaker 1: to be coming away with yet another episode of our
Speaker 1: Morning Glory devotion. Let us kindly share a word of
Speaker 1: prayer our having you, Father, thank you for another opportunity
Speaker 1: at life as we spend time with you in this devotion.
Speaker 1: Transform our lives by your way and Jesus.
Speaker 2: My mea amen. Amen, let us kindly.
Speaker 1: Take a confession for today from Juha chapter one, verse eight,
Speaker 1: Chatter one, verse eight, they spoke of the law.
Speaker 3: Shall not be pad from my mouth, but I shall
Speaker 3: meditate day and night that I may observe to do
Speaker 3: according to all that is written in it. For then
Speaker 3: I'll make my way prosperous, and then I will have
Speaker 3: good success.
Speaker 1: In Amen. Today we bring you the final part of
Speaker 1: the message Know your Place Part three, Stay humbled before
Speaker 1: God's word. Know your Place Part three, Stay humbled before
Speaker 1: God's Word. Our scripture reading shall be taken from Second
Speaker 1: Kings chapter seven, verse one to eleven, and then from
Speaker 1: the assisteing to to second King Stapture seven, verse one
Speaker 1: to eleven, and then from sixteen to twenty I will
Speaker 1: be reading from the new International version. Elisha replied, hear
Speaker 1: the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord
Speaker 1: says about this time tomorrow, a seer of the finest
Speaker 1: flower will sell for a shekel, and two seers of
Speaker 1: ballet for a sherkele. At the gates of Samaria, the
Speaker 1: officer on whose arm the King was leaning said to
Speaker 1: the manocole, Look, even if the Lord should open the
Speaker 1: flat gates of heavens, for this happened, you will say
Speaker 1: it with your own eyes, answered Elisha, But you will
Speaker 1: not eat any of it. Now, there were four men
Speaker 1: with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They
Speaker 1: said to each other, whilst they hear, until we die.
Speaker 1: If we say we'll go into the city, the farming
Speaker 1: is there and we will die. And if we stay
Speaker 1: here we will die. So let's go over to the
Speaker 1: camp of the Arabians and surrender. If they spare us,
Speaker 1: we'll live. If they kill us, then we die. At dusk,
Speaker 1: they got up and went to the camp of the Ramians.
Speaker 1: When they reached the edge of the camp, no one
Speaker 1: was there. For the Lord had caused the Arabians to
Speaker 1: hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army.
Speaker 1: So they set to one another. Look, the King of
Speaker 1: Israel has hired the hit Tiites and Egyptians kings to
Speaker 1: attack us. So they got up and fled in the
Speaker 1: dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys.
Speaker 1: They left the camp as it was and ran for
Speaker 1: their lives. The men who had leprosy reached the edge
Speaker 1: of the camp, enter one of the tents and ate
Speaker 1: and drank. Then they took silver, gold and clothes and
Speaker 1: went off and hit them. They returned and entered another
Speaker 1: tent and took some things from it and hid them also.
Speaker 1: Then they said to each other what we are doing
Speaker 1: is not right. This is a day of good news,
Speaker 1: and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait
Speaker 1: until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let's go at once
Speaker 1: and report this to the royal palace. So they went
Speaker 1: and called out the city gatekeepers and told them we
Speaker 1: went into the Arabian camp and no one was there,
Speaker 1: not a sound of anyone, only turted horses and donkeys,
Speaker 1: and the tents left chase as they were. The gatekeepers
Speaker 1: shouted the news, and it was reported within the palace
Speaker 1: the verse sixteen to twenty. When the people went out
Speaker 1: and plundered the camp of the Ramians, so a seer
Speaker 1: of the finest flower sold for a shirtle, and two
Speaker 1: seers of ballet sued for a sheircle, as the Lord
Speaker 1: had said. Now the King had put the officer on
Speaker 1: whose arm he leaned, in charge of the gates, and
Speaker 1: the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died
Speaker 1: just as the man of God had fortilled. When the
Speaker 1: king came down to his house. It happened as a
Speaker 1: man of God had said to the King, about this
Speaker 1: time tomorrow, a seer of the finest flower will sell
Speaker 1: for a sheirkele, and two seers of ballet for a
Speaker 1: shakele at the gates of Samaria. The officer had said
Speaker 1: to the man of God, Look, even if the Lord
Speaker 1: should open the flat gates of heavens, could this happened.
Speaker 1: The man of God had replied, you will see it
Speaker 1: with your own eyes, but she will not eat any
Speaker 1: of it. And that is exactly what happened to him,
Speaker 1: For the people trampled him in the gates with and
Speaker 1: he died. The Lord add his blessings to the reading
Speaker 1: and hearing of his word.
Speaker 2: Fancy God, Amen, know your place Part three, stay humbled
Speaker 2: before God's word, beloved. In the pat two of Know
Speaker 2: Your Place, we lend that one of the quickest ways
Speaker 2: to lose what God has given us is to begin
Speaker 2: acting as though we gave it to ourselves. Vasty for
Speaker 2: God who placed the crown upon her head, but esther
Speaker 2: never did. And we saw how humility preserved what pride forfeited.
Speaker 2: Today we arrive and perhaps the greatest test of humility
Speaker 2: our response to the word of God. From our opening scriptures,
Speaker 2: we saw that the city of Samaria was in the
Speaker 2: gripe of one of the worst famines in its history.
Speaker 2: Food had become almost impossible to find, Desperation failled every home.
Speaker 2: Then into that hopeless situation, the prophet Elijah spoke an
Speaker 2: astonishing promise. Tomorrow about this time, a measure of fine
Speaker 2: flowers shall be sold for a shekel. It sounded impossible.
Speaker 2: Standing beside the king was one of his chief officers,
Speaker 2: a man of influence and authority. The scriptures describe him
Speaker 2: as the officer upon whose hand the king leaned. He
Speaker 2: was no ordinary man, Yet instead of receiving the word
Speaker 2: with humility, he answered, look, if the Lord would make
Speaker 2: windows in heaven, could this thing be Notice what happened.
Speaker 2: He was not speaking to another officer. He was responding
Speaker 2: to the word of God spoken through God's prophet. He
Speaker 2: forgot where he stood. His reasoning quietly rose above God's revelation.
Speaker 2: Elijah answered solemnly, in fact, you shall see it with
Speaker 2: your eyes, but you shall not eat of it. And
Speaker 2: exactly as God had spoken, the farming ended. Overnight, food
Speaker 2: became super abundant. The officer witnessed the miracle, yet died
Speaker 2: at the city gate before he could partake of it. Beloved,
Speaker 2: this account is not preserved merely to warn us against unbelief.
Speaker 2: It teaches us something deeper. There is a posture the
Speaker 2: heart must maintain whenever God speaks. We may not fully
Speaker 2: understand his ways. We may not see how his promises
Speaker 2: will come to pass. We may wrestle with questions, but
Speaker 2: we must never place our reasoning above his word. The
Speaker 2: safest place for every believer is beneath the authority of scripture.
Speaker 2: I take it again, The safest place for every believer
Speaker 2: is beneath the authority of Scripture. This same temptation still
Speaker 2: confronts us today. God says, forgive our emotions, say hold
Speaker 2: on to the offense. God says, give our calculations. Say
Speaker 2: wait until there is more. God says, do not fear
Speaker 2: our circumstances, say panic. Every day we are deciding which
Speaker 2: voys will occupy the highest place in our hearts. Beloved,
Speaker 2: Knowing our place means allowing God's word to have the
Speaker 2: final say. It means approaching scripture not as its editor,
Speaker 2: but as its students, not as its judge, but as
Speaker 2: It's sevant. For whenever God's word and our opinions stand
Speaker 2: or post, one of them has bow. May it never
Speaker 2: be God's word, precious one, Let us know our place.
Speaker 2: Let us remain humble before his word. Let us trust
Speaker 2: even when we cannot trace him. For heaven and earth
Speaker 2: may pass away, but his word shall never fail. God,
Speaker 2: richly bless you, Let us kindly take our memory verse
Speaker 2: for today. Our memory verse is taken from Anxiet chapter
Speaker 2: fifty five, from the verse aide to nine, ASI chapter
Speaker 2: fifty five from the verse age to nine. I will
Speaker 2: be reading from the New King James version for my
Speaker 2: thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your wyte my ways,
Speaker 2: says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than
Speaker 2: the earth, so am I ways higher than your ways,
Speaker 2: and my thoughts than your thoughts. For my thoughts are
Speaker 2: not your thoughts, nor are you waste my ways, says
Speaker 2: the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
Speaker 2: so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
Speaker 2: thoughts than your thoughts. Aimen, Please let us share a
Speaker 2: word of prayer. Our heavely Father, We thank you for
Speaker 2: the blessing of this word. Please give us a heart
Speaker 2: that always trembles at your word. Please deliver us from
Speaker 2: pride on belief, and every tendency to place our reasoning,
Speaker 2: no matter how sound, above your world. Teach us to
Speaker 2: trust you even when we cannot understand your ways. Please
Speaker 2: let your word always have the highest authority in our lives.
Speaker 2: In Jesus a thing, Amen.
Speaker 1: This marks the end of the series on know your place.
Speaker 1: Always remember that the deliver who knows his place before
Speaker 1: God will never lose his place in the purpose of God.
Speaker 1: Let us keep walking before God in all humility. God,
Speaker 1: richly bless you our morning glory devotion will come your
Speaker 1: way again on Monday morning by Ghost Grease. At the
Speaker 1: same time, keep your dolls right here on Radio HCI
