An Economy Powered By Miracles
"Then Elisha said, 'Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’" II Kings 7:1 NKJV
Economies of the world, especially mono-product economies like ours whose major export is oil, are dependent on a number of factors, like price, output, demand, etc. Our revenue has decreased significantly in the last one year because of continuous reductions of the price of oil. As long as other countries continue to discover and sell oil, things are not likely to improve unless steps are taken to diversify the economy.
But the kingdom of God is not like the economies of the world! Whether there's oil or not, the kingdom of God continues to flourish. Hallelujah! A lot of us Christians need reorientation; our minds have become too used to the system of the world and we have subjected ourselves to those systems, that we don't even realize that we can operate by higher laws even while here on earth. How else can we say that there is a lifting up when men are saying that there is a casting down? By the application of kingdom principles!
Become miracle conscious. Instead of borrowing trying believing God for a miraculous supply! The widow who inherited huge debt from her husband was able to repay all the creditors as a result of miraculous multiplication of her barrel of oil! Jesus paid taxes by collecting money from the mouth of a fish! God is still doing miracles today; if we believe we too will see the glory of God. Amen.
