GOD IS AN ENABLER BY PASTOR JOSHUA

TEXT: 2kings 13:14-19
GOD IS AN ENABLER 

God is an enabler,  when God gives us dreams he ensures provisions for the manifestation  of the dreams . When God delights in a man,  he brings such man in to dominate the promised land.  There is no doubt about the promise of God and of God's  interest in man.
Every man alive has a land ahead of him to conquer, like king  Jehoash.  The king was at a point of being discouraged as the prophet was on the verge of death.  The king was lackadaisical because he thought the prophet was only trying to encourage  him from losing faith and he struck the ground with little faith.  The engagement of God comes from an angle we do not envisage.

HOW TO BE ENABLED  OF GOD 
1. Never put your trust in man - it's why the King gave up on his battle when the prophet was about to die.  Trusting man erodes the preparation  of God for our lives.
2. Don't ever discount the Lord's  instructions - it is mandatory  to do that God or his prophets instruct us to do.  We should not be selective about God's messages , every of Gods word is an inspiration  of the Holy Spirit (2Kings 3:16).
3. We must  put our faith  to action. The king could not get total victory because he acted haphazardly; we must  make efforts  in  faith, because  of the enablement  of the Holy Spirit.  God will not increase any inactivity but exercised faith through  works.

There is a land that flows with milk  and honey before us(Num 14:3),  that God  wants to show and bring us into by embracing the love of God.  The benefits of redemption finds us when we embrace God's love,  as we prepare for the promised land.
