2 Kings 7:1-2
“Then Elisha said, Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold shekel, and two seals of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.
So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this be? And he said, Infact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.”
In this verses, we see that both men were men under authority; one by the king of Israel and the prophet of God, was under the authority of the King of the whole universe. Though the king’s armour bearer mocked Elisha, yet the prophet’s word came to pass because the word proceeded forth from the LORD.
Therefore, brethren, let us be wise not to go about mocking the word of prophecy from men and women sent by God Almighty we do not yet know. For the prophet prophesies, not by his own will, but the holy men speak as they are inspired or moved by the Spirit of God.
When God speaks, who is man to challenge or mock Him? Therefore, whatever situation you may find yourself, when the word of the Lord is spoken to you through a prophet of God, believe it because the word will prove true at the end. And CONSEQUENTLY, your tomorrow shall be changed and established by that same word.
Shalom!
