Title: Family III (The Woman Who Started a Family)
Contents :
There are many successful people who overcame the crisis and opened a new chapter in the Bible.
Among them, there are many great women who have built up families with the bodies of poor women.
There are many great women who have built up families with women's bodies. The woman of Shunem in the text lost her family and sold herself and her two sons as slaves to other people's households because of the countless debts that her husband left behind.
What could be a greater crisis than this?...
How can this woman overcome this crisis?!
First, God is in charge of a family that fears God.
When I do God's work, God obviously takes responsibility behind me.
Although this husband left behind a debt he could not afford to his beloved wife and two sons.
If you think about it, you are a failed husband, a father, an irresponsible husband, a father, a savage husband, and a savage father.
However, according to the Bible, he was a student of the prophet. And if you listen to the wife's complaints, you can quickly see how much the husband feared God and devoted himself to Elisha during his lifetime.
He was a man who ran the Lord's path alone in times of hardship and tough times.
Therefore, God has done a great work for his wife and his two sons.
Second, we must return to God and obey Him.
① This woman still had a place to go, the Lord, and only Him.
So the woman came to Elisha, the servant of God.
② The saints must return to God.
You must come to church, come out through the Word, and come out by faith.
And it is speaking.
It is not a posture of asserting, but a posture of begging for sleep.
③ And you must obey.
Obedience is faith and trust.
Humility and confidence.
Obedience is a confession of belief in God's omniscience and omnipotence.
Obedience is the ability that only people of faith can do.
Anyone can speak. But obedience is the power of God that only believers can do.
Finally, God delights in giving grace.
① He gives me what I have.
② He will give you what you believe.
③ Give as much as a bowl.
④ Give exactly as needed.
