Topic: WHY SIT WE HERE?
Text: 2 Kings 7: 3,4.
3: And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4: If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
Every man is given ability to take decisions that will move his life forward. Some people think what will be will be and that God is solely responsible for things happening in and around their lives, they failed to realize that man initiates events and occurrences in his life.
From genesis, man plays critical role in the events of life and this is because God gave him the will power to makes his choice and be solely responsible for his actions.
Let me come out this way; your decisions and actions over the years play major role in determining the stage and the level you are in life today.
God left everything at creation in a state of raw materials, and he expected man through his decisions and actions to process them into finished products. For instance, science and technology which are purely the activities of men on earth have in a great way make human lives easier.
Back to our text (Bible passage) The four lepers liberated a whole nation that has been in abject poverty by their decisions and actions. They had three options and those options are basically the options that go on in the mind of everyone. Let’s analyse them.
1, If we say, we will enter the city. This is going back to where they were coming from.
2, If we sit here. This means remaining at a point, not making attempt to move forward. (Stagnancy).
3, Let’s fall unto the host (army) of the syrians. This is moving forward.
* If they go back to Samaria, they will die of hunger.
* If they remain where they are sitting, they will die of hunger.
* If they go to the syrians camp there is surplus/ abundance of food, though their enemies are there, there are challenges there.
They conquer the challenges ahead of them in their mind, they dare their challenges and great was their testimony.
Many people know that the right decision to take is to move forward, not going back, not remaining where they are but they are considering the challenges ahead and so they are stagnated.
You need to talk to yourself the way these lepers spoke to themselves ‘ why sit we here till we die? ‘ Take decision to move forward and the Lord will take care of the challenges. God bless you.
PRAYER.
* I receive grace to move forward in Jesus name.
