*THE LORD’S ARROW OF VICTORY*
2KINGS 13:15-17 (NLT):
*"Elisha told him, “Get a bow and some arrows.” And the king did as he was told. Elisha told him, “Put your hand on the bow,” and Elisha laid his own hands on the king’s hands. Then he commanded, “Open that eastern window,” and he opened it. Then he said, “Shoot!” So he shot an arrow. Elisha proclaimed, “This is the Lord’s arrow, an arrow of victory…."
Right before his death, the king of Israel visited Elisha, and Elisha told him to put an arrow in a bow, draw it, and point it out the window. Elisha placed his hands on the king's hands and told him to shoot the arrow. Elisha then said to him, “This is the Lord’s arrow of victory.”
What Elisha did was a prophetic illustration of your reality as a child of God. In whatever your hands find to do, God wants you to know that His hand is upon your hands. Because of this, what you are engaged in is no longer ordinary. It now carries God’s unction and victory. It shall not fail.
The Lord will strengthen you, and He will teach you how to overcome your challenges and battles (Psa. 144:1). The Lord will lighten your candle and enlighten your darkness. By Him you will run through troops and leap over walls (Psa. 18:28-29).
You are not alone, and you are not hopeless. God is with you, and your victory is sure. As you remain conscious that the hand of the Lord is upon you, the Lord will guide you on how you should go about what you are doing, and the Lord will use what you are engaged in as a tool to advance His kingdom.
This new week is a week of victory and success in all your endeavours, in the mighty name of Jesus. Our God is with you and you shall not fail, in Jesus' name, Amen.
*PRAYER POINT:*
FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT YOUR HAND IS UPON ME AND UPON ALL I AM ENGAGED IN. I RECEIVE YOUR DIRECTION, STRENGTH, AND VICTORY, IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME, AMEN.
