TOPIC: EYES OF FAITH 2
TEXT: 2 KINGS 6:16

Top of the day to you. Power of darkness assigned against the manifestation of signs and wonders in your life shall be destroyed today in Jesus' name.

Let's continue from where we paused yesterday. The grievous fright which the prophet’s servant was in, when he perceived the city surrounded by the Syrians, and the effectual course which the Prophet took to pacify him and free him from his fear. Let's look at how his master quieted him.
 
lt's very important to know that the eyes of faith sees what God is doing more for a man than what such a man can ever realize through his own sight alone.
The prophet Elisha quieted him by the two major instruments. These are;
(1.) By word:
What he said to him is spoken to all the faithful servants of God, when without are fightings and within are fears. “Fear not with that fear which has torment and amazement, for those that are with us, to protect us, are more than those that are against us, to destroy us-angels unspeakably more numerous- infinitely more powerful.” (2Chr.32:7).
Whenever we are magnifying the causes of our fear we ought to possess ourselves with clear, great, and high thoughts of God of all grace and the invisible world. If God be for us, who can be against us.(Rom. 8:31).

(2.) By vision:
It seems Elisha was much concerned for the satisfaction of his servant. Good men desire, not only to be eased themselves, but to have those about them easy. Elisha had lately parted with his old man, and this, having newly come into his service, had not the advantage of experience, his master was therefore desirous to give him other convincing evidence of that Omnipotence which employed him and was therefore employed for him.
Note dearly beloved, those whose faith is strong ought to tenderly and compassionately look on those who are weak and of a timorous spirit; and to do what they can to strengthen their feeble hands.
Elisha saw himself safe, and wished no more than that his servant might see what he saw, a guard of angels round about him, such as were his master’s convoy to the gates of heaven were his protectors against the gates of hell-chariots of fire, and horses of fire. Fire is both dreadful and devouring.
As angels are God’s messengers, so they are his soldiers, his hosts (Gen. 32:2), his legions, or regiments, (Matt. 26:53). For the satisfaction of his servant, there needed no more than the opening of his eyes of faith. Thus, he prayed and obtained for him: Lord, open his eyes of faith that he may see. His physical eyes were opened, and with them he saw the danger. “Lord, open the eyes of his faith, that with them he may see the protection we are under.”
 Friends, the greatest kindness we can do for those that are fearful and faint-hearted is to pray for them, and so to recommend them to the mighty Grace of God. Also, the opening of our eyes of faith will be the silencing of our fears/enemy.
Enjoy your day!

Personal Confession: Father  Lord, open the eyes  of my faith  to behold the victory you have granted me  in Jesus' name.
