Hey Gop! This week Issac preached about The Core; What is the condition of your bones? Did you ever know that there’s a reason why people do and don’t things? The answer is that it all boils down to the condition of your bones! Sermon is available here!
In 2nd Kings 13:20, “Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. 21 Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.” I’m sure all of you will be definitely hungry and enthusiastic of how God can work miracles! In the bible, it states that King Elijah performed 8 miracles in his life, and Elisha, his disciple and attendant to Elijah, was prophesised to perform 16 miracle-twice the amount if Elijah in his lifetime. However, Elisha only performed 15 miracles when he was still alive. So where and when did the last miracle happen? Of course, it happened when he was dead; when the body of the dead man was thrown into his grave, when it touched Elisha’s bones, the man was resurrected! SO that was the 16th miracle. This shows that can work in His ways unexpectedly and unconditionally.
In this case, we can certainly determine the condition of Elisha’s bones-as anointed and Holy Spirit Bones! So, what is the condition of your bones? God wants us to strengthen our bones, and as bones are deeper than what’s outside. We may look all good and polished on the outside, but inside, we may have rotting, decaying bones. So, God always wants something inside of us, not outside. All our bones have a partner; the Holy Spirit!
In Galatians 3, it says that we should not pursue fleshy desires, but rather that of the Spirit. If we walk a different path than what God intended for us to do, we stray away from Him, and it weakens our bones. Satan is like a parasite to your bones. He makes lies and eats the core of your bones! So how do we build our core? In order to build our core, we must stay hungry! So how excited are we?
Get our bones strong! In order to achieve that, we mustn’t separate our matters from God. For example, God and our exams. We cannot take exams as a separate matter and attend to it and prioritize it as something ahead of God. We must put God first in everything that we do, and God and exams is one thing; where by God empowers us and helps us in our exams. So seek God first and His kingdom and His righteousness, and or else will be added unto you!
We should never be swayed by the lies of the devils and others! When we enter a room, we should not be affected by the temperature, but rather set the temperature! There is no standard of what our bone conditions should be like, but all we have to do is to stay hungry! God is also not done with certain things. God is looking for a generation that does not care about your status quo, for the devil can’t throw dirt at what God is not done with! Do not say it’s over when it’s not over! So let’s put aside the lies of Satan and focus on God!
In the example of Joshua and Caleb, they were going to enter the Promised Land, and were called upon to fight against 40 cities! To prepare them, God gave them milk and honey. This may seem like a hopeless and ridiculous situation, but do not underestimate what God has in plan for us. You may have not realised the symbolic importance of milk and honey, but they were crucial in helping them enter the Promised Land. So, do not be weakened by whatever the situation is like, for the Devil can’t throw dirt at what God is not done with! Furthermore, when we look at ourselves, we have to realize that each of us is beautiful and unique in their own ways, for God has made us in His image. We are only defined by God, not what others say or what Satan does to us.
So GoP, let’s stay hungry and build up our core! :D
