Power of Process

Saturday 3 November
READ: II Kings 6:1-7
MORE LESSON: Hebrews 10:35-39

Between a problem and solution lies the period known as process. In other words, a process is the period of time between a prophecy or problem and its fulfilment or solution. The process in any situation is very important because whatever happens during this period determines the eventual outcome of that situation. What you do while you wait for the manifestation of what God has said concerning you is very important because it determines what you get at the end. In the passage of today, the sons of the prophets were confronted by the problem of inadequate space and they voiced it to their master, ...As you can see, this place where we meet with you is too small: Verse 1 (NLT). It is obvious they needed an enlargement, but between the problem of limited space and the enlargement they desired was a period called process and it was pivotal to determining whether they would reach their target or not. Let's see what they did.
1. The first step they took was that they realised there was a problem. It is only when you recognise the challenge you have that you can begin to seek solution. Therefore, identify what your problem is and set out to get it solved. There is a common saying that the first step to recovery is discovery. So until you discover, you cannot recover. What the devil does often is to make problems appear natural and so we believe they are part of life; so we see nothing wrong with the situation. But the day God opens your eyes to what has been happening, your deliverance begins. Therefore, you must always pray for the light of God to shine on the darkness in your life.
2. Everyone contributed his quota to ensure the problem was solved. Whoever desires to move from small to big must be ready to learn from others. Don't conclude you don't need anyone's idea. Don't despise anyone because you may be amazed to discover that the solution lies with someone you least expect.
3. In an attempt to expand, they encountered a problem; the axe head fell into water and as long as it was in the water the dream could not be realised. Sometimes, in an attempt to find solution to a problem, you encounter other problems but you must never give up because those other problems are only distractions to hinder you from achieving your aim. You deal with a problem by finding an idea and implementing it. However, the process of implementation may bring developmental problems but you must not shut down because you encounter a problem.
As you set out to find solution to your problem, remember to keep an open mind to learn and do not give up in your pursuit. Victory is sure if you faint not. Receive the grace not to faint, in the name of Jesus.
