God wants a people to rise up who have nothing to lose

Dr. Roberto Miranda

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In 2 Kings 7, we see the prince of Samaria's disbelief in Elisha's promise of abundant food for all the people. This represents the incredulous portion of the Church that will be judged for its unbelief. Next, we see a group of lepers who have nothing to lose and decide to approach the Syrian camp, only to find it completely abandoned because God caused the sound of a great army to approach. These lepers symbolize the poor and abandoned segment of society that God wants to use for His purposes. God wants to put provision in the hands of His servants, but there is a price to pay for consecration and surrendering everything to God. We must be like the lepers who had nothing to lose and be eager for the power of God to move in us.

The prince of Samaria reacts with incredulity and almost blasphemes against God by questioning in a very radical way this promise from the prophet Elisha that tomorrow at that same time there would be abundant food for all the people.

And he uses a blasphemous image saying: well if God made it rain, if he opened the window of heaven it would still not be enough. And we spoke in the last meditation about this man representing that incredulous portion of the Church that will be abandoned by the power of God and that it will even be judged for its unbelief.
