CONNECT TO YOUR MIRACLE

A preacher may not be giving a performance, but a preacher has to put as much energy and effort into his or her delivery as those on stage or it comes across as weak and dull. It is this dimension of sweating, real drops of sweat on the Pulpit Bible, that I have come to appreciate and to use as a measurement of just how much effort has gone into getting the Word of God from my head and heart into the head and heart of the congregation.

2 Kings 4:8-17 NIV One day Elisha went to Shunem. And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. (9) She said to her husband, "I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. (10) Let's make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us." (11) One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. (12) He said to his servant Gehazi, "Call the Shunammite." So he called her, and she stood before him. (13) Elisha said to him, "Tell her, 'You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?'" She replied, "I have a home among my own people." (14) "What can be done for her?" Elisha asked. Gehazi said, "Well, she has no son and her husband is old." (15) Then Elisha said, "Call her." So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. (16) "About this time next year," Elisha said, "you will hold a son in your arms." "No, my lord," she objected. "Don't mislead your servant, O man of God!" (17) But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
Every miracle we read about in the Bible was recorded for a purpose. Miracles were not just intended for the people who received them but they were intended to touch and bless all generations.
Acts 2:39- The promise of the Holy Spirit is not just for us but for all whom the Lord will call
1 Corinthians 15:22-23- Because Christ rose from the dead it follows that all who believe will rise from the dead.
 Locked up in every miracle is the anointing to reproduce and perpetuate the same miracle
 Locked up in every miracle is a prophetic message of defeat and victory over the powers of the enemy
 We unlock and release the anointing that is locked up in a miracle through preaching and reading God’s word
Therefore Locked up in the miracle of the Shunamite woman is the anointing of conception and the anointing that breaks every spirit of barrenness. As you prayerfully read this sermon, may the anointing that breaks the spirit of barrenness be released upon your life in the name of Jesus. May you become fruitful and increase in all areas of your life.
HOW THE SHUNAMITE WOMAN CONNECTED TO HER MIRACLE
Child of God, God has already worked out your miracle. In fact, even before you were born your miracle had always been waiting for you. All you need to do is to recognize and connect to your miracle.
2 kings 4:8- “One day Elisha went to Shunem”
