Topic: The Result of Resistance
Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 2:1-22
Main Text:
Hebrews 5:8
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
It is only people who go through resisance who are manifested as the sons of God. Resistance plays a major role in the making – apocalypsis – of the sons of God. Our resistance is made of: restriction, retribution, repression and revolution.
In Psalm 66:11-12, we see the resistance we go through to be revealed.
1. Restriction – a limiting condition or measure: thou broughtest us into the net (vrs 11).
2. Retribution – punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act: thou laidst affliction upon our loins (vrs 11).
3. Repression – the action of subduing someone or something by force: thou hast caused men to ride over our heads (vrs 12).
4. Revolution – a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favour of a new system: we went through fire and through water (vrs 12).
Glory be to God, that the resistance we go through have a result. The resistance produces a revelation or apocalypsis. We do not perish during the resistance, neither does it destroy us. The result of resistance is REVELATION – apocalypsis. the divine or supernatural disclosure to humans of something relating to human existence: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place (vrs 12). Don't give up just yet. You are about to come out of the resistance into a wealthy place.
Prayer: Pray for the strength and resilience to break through every resistance that is in the way of your revelation.
