The Alpha of Supernatural Signs

UV 3181/10000 The Alpha of Supernatural Signs
For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
2 Kings 3 v 17
The Lord is able to wrest victory for us whether we be many or few. The king of Israel, the king of Judah and the king of Edom had joined forces against the Moabites and they were apprehensive that the Moabites would defeat them for there was no water for their armies or their horses. They thought that thirst would defeat them and that the Lord had delivered them into the hands of the enemy in this manner. Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah then searched for Elisha, the successor of Elijah. Elisha on a word from the Lord asked them to dig ditches in the valley where they were camping. There was no wind or rain but the wells that were freshly dug were filled with water. So also, when we seek the Lord and His word earnestly, He will fill our wells with His power. Most people who do not believe God and rely only on their own prowess and efforts have little to show at the end of the day. They live defeated and depressed. In contrast, believers in times of adversity turn to the wall- Jesus and He answers with supernatural provision or intervention as He did in the wedding at Canna. He provides abundantly in the place of our personal inadequacies and insecurities.
We need to believe that everything is possible for God. There may be no visible symptom of His presence in our lives but the Lord is always at hand to help us overcome the odds of life. He is with us in the valleys of our lives as He is with us on the mountains of victory. The provision of water in the dry valley was a sign to Elisha that the Moabites would not overcome the forces of the three kings but that they would be put to rout. The signs we have seen in our lives are indications of a greater victory the Lord is giving us over the forces of evil and darkness.
Just before the dry wells were filled with water, Elisha asked for a minstrel or a worship leader to lead them in worship. Worship, praise and thanksgiving precedes miracles, prepares the soil for the work of the Lord. The worship led by the minstrel at the behest of Elisha ushered in the presence of the Lord. Every day and every time we face adversity, we too should bow in worship and praise. In so doing, we invite the Lord into our circumstances and invoke His power in our lives. Praise and worship is the seeding of faith. The supernatural first manifest in the natural. Our wells of life instead of running dry would be overflowing with supernatural blessings. We understand through this uni-verse and its backdrop that there is a process for the birthing of miracles.
