SCRIPTURE READING: 2 KINGS 9: 1-13

FOCUS: “And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:” (2 Kings 9: 1)

MEMORY VERSE: “Let his days be few; And let another take his office.” (Psalm 109: 8)

It is instructive to observe that the assignment of anointing Jehu was given to Elijah in 1 Kings 19 vs. 16. God expressly told Elijah to anoint Jehu as King of Israel. Elijah anointed Elisha but failed to anoint Jehu. Notice that in our Focal Scripture, in fulfillment of the word of the Lord concerning Jehu, Elisha sent one of the sons of the prophets to go and anoint Jehu. When the man who ought to make it happen failed, God sent another man.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: when the men that God appointed to fulfill His plan for your life, fail to do their bit, God will raise other men to get the job done. El Roi loves you too much, and has too much integrity to allow His word concerning your life to fall to the ground. If He said He will do it, then be sure that He will do it irrespective of the persons who may fail to do their bit. God will raise other men to do what needs to be done.

Hear me as I hear the Lord: God will raise another man to open that door that someone else failed to open. God will raise another man to give you that opportunity that someone else failed to give you. God will raise another man to bring you the help He always wanted to give to you, which someone else failed to convey. God will raise another man to grant you access to your high places if the man who was to do it failed to do it.

Whatever God does on earth, He would usually use men to make it happen, but God cannot be left stranded because one man is either unwilling or unavailable to do His will. Don’t lose sleep if the man who should ‘anoint’ you fails to do so; El Roi has the capacity to make it happen regardless. Even if all the people you know fail to show up to fulfill the word of the Lord, God will raise strangers to fulfill His will for your life.

Welcome to that season where another man will be raised for every man that declined to do God’s bidding for your life. Welcome to that season where the Lord will raise men to fulfill His agenda for you.

  • In 2025, for every man who fails to fulfil God’s mandate, God will raise another man, in Jesus’ name!
