FAITH CAPSULE: Know that God is on your side always.

2Kings 6:1-23 

Just as challenges are in place and persist in the world of unbelievers, 
so it is in the word of believers. 
Believers are not immune to experiencing challenges but can be unmovable in the face of challenges. 
Word of God admonishes, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19) 
One knows that memorizing and quoting the scripture is far and not enough to bring forth the required deliverance in the face of challenge. 
One should know and do right before God.
Proverbs 11:9 states clearly, “…but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.” 
Deliverance from afflicting challenges of the righteous is rightly in the knowledge of the word of deliverance. 
The word of God is to perform and perfect. 
Psalm 107:20 records, “He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.”
As a believer, are you spending time to engage the word of God that is knowledge to deliver? 
Are you thinking of what you should do in response to all the confrontations before you? 
As a believer, ask that God locate you this hour to visit you with salvation in the name of Jesus.
God answers prayer without doubt.
When the confronting challenge located both Elisha and his servant, God, answered with deliverance,
The fear of the servant of Elisha in response to the enemy subsides with faith.
The book of 2 Kings 6:15 records, “And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, ‘Alas, my master! What shall we do?’” 
There is always an answer to confronting challenges. 
Elisha responds to his servant that is right for a believer in the challenging time.
Elisha answered his servant in 2 Kings 6:16, “So he answered, ‘Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’” As a believer, it is a lesson to know God as God that cannot fail to deliver.
God cares for His children and does not fail to focus on Him.
The word of God wants all to bury fear so that faith will rise.
Elisha said it, and Paul the Apostle encourages, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made know to God; and peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6).” 
In challenging times, pray for the spiritual eyes to become opened as Elijah prayed for the spiritual eyes of his servant.
Fear of the servant of Elisha sank while his faith came alive to gain victory. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to open your eyes to see and know that God is always on your side.
