Text: 2Kings 7:1-8

Let us cast our minds first on the situation around this powerful scripture. Samaria had seen the miraculous capture of Syrian armies, and by the counsel of the Prophet, they fed their enemies and sent them home. The kindness of Samaria was repaid with more stiff opposition and total hostility.

Famine resulted from the long period of siege upon the State of Samaria. Women ate their children to survive. Men ate all manner of unclean and forbidden beasts just to survive.

The king seeing his people being brought to the level of wild animals, and many of them were being destroyed right before his eyes, took one of the hardest decisions any God fearing king in his day would have taken.

He wanted the prophet killed since that is the only way to tell God he has had enough. He was tired of the crimes, cannibalism, and other things too despicable going on in his kingdom.

The king wanted to hold someone accountable; who else should be guiltless but God?

His assault on the servant of God began an exciting journey in the restoration of that kingdom.

As the Killer (assassin) set out to the prophet’s house, there was already a consultation by the elders of the land with the prophet for a way out of the problem. When the prophet picked up the Spiritual signal that he was to be killed for the crimes committed due to his earlier benevolence to the Syrians, he immediately spoke powerful words that would end months of violent crimes against God and Man. 24 hours miracle was declared because heaven was about to lose a prophet and a voice very strategic to the move of God. Heaven dispatched angelic host into Camp Syria to end the siege because a servant of Jehovah’s life was being threatened by the crown.

To fully unlock the power of the prophetic, the prophet must realize that he is at the end of his rope. It is either heaven answers now or lose a voice.

The prophet spoke those words without calculating the odds of the manifestation or confirmation.

-        He had no Spies or secret army awaiting his signal to attack

-        He understands his prophetic office comes with the backing of angelic host.

-        He activated the supernatural when the king and kingdom would fear, honor and serve the living God.

The four lepers at the gate had only one duty; to walk into an empty camp and report back to the city.

The driving away of the Syrians was not a result of their footstep being divinely amplified as many supposed. Read again for yourself on this “They rose up in the twilightto go unto the camp of the Syrians.” 2 Kings 7:5 and “They rose and fled in thetwilight and left their tents.” 2Kings 7:7 the key to all this lies in Verse 6. Hear this; “For the LORD…”

When a prophet speaks, The Lord moves, causes, creates, establishes, performs and works. Yes, because a prophet had spoken.

When a prophet remains in his office and does not allow the people push him back and forth, then the Lord will honor him when He Speaks.
