FAITH CAPSULE: Know to be doing good to experience the move of God.
2 Kings 4:8-17
One doing good is investing for the self to be in the position to experience the visitation of God.
Always know to do good when the situation demands to do good.
James 4:17 encourages the reason to do know to do good, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
One that knows to do good but not to do good gives self to sin.
Doing good is among the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:22 states, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.” Romans 12:9, “…Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:15, “See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.” 2 Thessalonians 3:13, “But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.” Hebrews 13:16, “But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
Give yourself to investing good at all times to reap from the visitation of God.
From henceforth, begin to do good for the glory of God.
Doing good from the depth of heart will provoke caring with a glaring action.
It is worth doing good by acting with care, knowing fully well that what you are doing is in the name of God and for the glory of God.
A Shunammite woman, ignorantly invested in doing good to the man of God in her location, 2 Kings 4:9-10 records the doing of the Shunammite woman, “And she said to her husband, ‘Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who passes by us regularly. Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.’”
The Shunammite woman made life comfortable for the man of God.
The man of God did not look away but acknowledge the Shunamite woman by sending his servant, “…Say now to her, ‘“Look, you have been concerned for us with all this care. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?”’ (2 Kings 4:13)
Elisha later realized the bareness of the Shunamite woman and eventually prayed over her life in 2 Kings 3:16, “About this time next year, you shall embrace a son.”
The Shunammite woman invested in doing good in the name of God and was able to reap to receive the blessing of the womb.
The Shunamite woman became a mother in the Old age of her husband.
Truly one that knows to do good will reap from the blessing of God.
Know to be doing good to experience the move of God over your life.
Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to be doing good all the days of your life.
