Topic: Your Testimony Is Established

Scripture: 2 Kings 4:18-27

In Ephesians 6:16, we are admonished to quench the fiery darts of the enemy with the shield of faith. The rich woman of Shunem demonstrates how to embrace faith when the enemy is attacking. She had already displayed her faith by making room for Elisha in her house so that he would always have a place of rest. But there came a time when her faith was tested. Her son, who was born miraculously after a prophetic word, suddenly fell ill and died. The boy, who was her testimony, her reward from God, was no more. And yet, without making a scene, she made her way to Prophet Elisha.

Her husband did not know what had happened. When he asked, she said, “It is well.” When Gehazi was sent to her, she told him, “It is well.” It was when she got to Elisha that she poured out her heart, revealing the deep pain and anguish she was experiencing. She was not pretending when she spoke to her husband and Gehazi, but she knew she could not afford to weaken her faith by talking to the wrong people. She believed there would be a miracle, so she left the boy in Elisha’s room, shut her ears from any external voice, and went to God’s mouthpiece. At the end of the day, her son was restored to life.

We must protect our faith and our confidence in God from strange voices, from people who will speak against what we believe. If you have a word from God or a testimony and you are facing challenges, take it to your Father. Use your shield of faith against any fiery darts fired by the enemy. That testimony will stand. That breakthrough will be established. You will see the blessings and favour of God without sorrow.

Prayer: Father, I acknowledge that my life is in Your hands. My testimony is established and my blessing is secured in You.
