*OUR DWELLING PLACE IS SMALL*

*By Pastor E O Gabriel  19 July 2024:Share*

SCRIPTURE: And the Sons of the Prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the Place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us - *‭2 Kings 6:1 KJV‬*

The Sons of the Prophets came to the Prophet Elisha and complained that where they were living was too small for them, and they wanted an Enlargement. They sought Permission for Enlargement, and it was granted.

One of them requested that the Prophet should go along with them in the Process. Elisha went with them and handled the Challenges that came up in their quest for Enlargement - *2 Kings 6:1-7*

*Some Lessons to learn:*

*(1)* Enlargement Comes from God.

• The Process for Enlargement did not begin until God's Representative gave the Approval.

The Bible says, Paul Planted, and Apollos watered; but God gave the Increase - *1 Corinthians 3:6*

• Jesus stepped down from Eternity into Time for our Enlargement - *John 10:10*

And He said without me you can do Nothing - *John 15:5*

*(2)* Enlargement is our Covenant Right.

• When the Sons of the Prophets requested Enlargement, their Request was granted.

• God has sworn to our fathers that He would enlarge us. He swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - *Deuteronomy 19:8*

Therefore, you may have started small, but you are not expected to end small - *Job 8:7*

Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's Good Pleasure to give you the Kingdom - *Luke 12:32*

*(3)* Hinderances to your Enlargement are Surmountable.

The Lost borrowed axe head was Miraculously found.

*God has Purposed to enlarge you.* 

*Hindrances shall be a Stepping Stone.*

*Prayer:*

Father, in Jesus' Name, make me a Great Nation in Jesus Christ mighty Name.
