PRAYER - "Men Of Jericho Pray For Water"
Fifty prophets saw the whirlwind carry Elijah away. Elijah was gone, but they searched for him in the surrounding mountains and valleys for three days in vain. Elisha said, "Did I not say unto you, Go not?" From then on, the people knew Elisha was in the place of Elijah. They prayed he would remedy the undrinkable waters in Jericho. He called for a cruse of salt, and cast it into the waters.
2 Kings 2:21-22 - "Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; ...So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha."
PRINCIPALS - "Elisha And The Valley Full Of Ditches"
The Moabites paid hefty tributes to Ahab, but rebelled against his son, Jehoram. Jehoram recruited Jehoshaphat and Edom for war against Moab. Three armies started a seven-day journey, but famished for water. Jehoshaphat called Elisha, and the prophet said, "make this valley full of ditches." At sunrise, water filled the valley, and the sun's reflection looked like blood. Moab thought Israel was fallen in bloody battle, and moved in to take a prey.
2 Kings 3:24 - "When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them."
PRINCIPLES - "God Will Fill Your Vessel"
A prophet's widow begged help from Elisha. She had no money, and her creditors were going to take her sons for slaves. Elisha asked what she had. "A pot of oil." He told her to borrow all the vessels she could find, and pour the oil into them. Miraculously, she filled every single vessel. Then the oil stayed. God can work with anything you have to meet your need. Just bring an empty vessel to God.
2 Kings 4:7 - "And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest."
PROPHECIES - "Thou Shalt Embrace A Son"
A great woman at Shunem often provided meals for Elisha as he passed by. She persuaded her husband to build a chamber for the prophet, with a bed, a table, a stool and a candlestick. For their kindness, Elisha asked what favor could be done for them. His servant, Gehazi, informed him that they were childless. God rewards those who support His work.
2 Kings 4:16-17 - "He said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. ...And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her."
