SUMMARY: The Shunammite woman from Second Kings Chapter 4 is an exemplary woman who showed dedication, consecration, surrender, and preference for God. She was not absorbed by her position but saw it as a way to bless and advance the kingdom of God. She insisted on inviting the servant of God, Elisha, to stay in her house and wanted to bless him as an extension of the ministry of the Church. She understood that in the visit of this man of God, there was going to be a blessing for her in her house. We need to pray insistently for God to visit our homes and fill our lives with His blessings.
The speaker urges the audience to abandon a casual approach to Christianity and instead be passionate and insistent in seeking God. He encourages them to turn off the recorder of previous teachings and to seek God with all their hearts. He uses the story of the Shunammite woman who persistently invited Elisha into her home as an example of how to approach God. He also emphasizes the importance of discernment in choosing a good church or ministry to support and bless. Additionally, he encourages men to take on spiritual leadership in their homes and communities.
The speaker emphasizes the need for men to take on spiritual leadership in the church and in their homes, alongside their women. He draws inspiration from the story of the Shunammite woman in the Bible, who went above and beyond to care for the servant of God who visited her home. He encourages listeners to strive for new levels of spiritual growth and to leave spaces in their lives for God to fill and bless. He also addresses the topic of giving to God and emphasizes the importance of giving out of love for God, rather than seeking personal gain. The story ends with the woman being blessed with a child, after being told it was impossible.
This sermon is about a woman in the Bible who was blessed with a child despite being thought of as barren. The message is that if we serve God, give to God generously, and seek God above all things, he will bless us in many different ways. The woman is an example of surrendering oneself completely to God. The sermon ends with a prayer for consecration to God and a call to raise one's hand if they want to give their life to Jesus Christ. The sermon recording and other recordings can be found on the website.

This morning I want us to gaze for a few minutes, precisely, on a woman who distinguished herself for being a joyful giver, a servant of God; who gave the Lord his best offering and was greatly blessed. You know that we are studying the miracles of the prophet Elisha, we are studying the life of the prophet Elisha at this time when we are talking about the life of faith.
Let's go to Chapter 4 of Second Kings. It is the third miracle that we are going to discuss in the life of the prophet Elisha.
