Topic: ELIJAH AND THE THREE CAPTAINS 5: Do Things Differently
MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 75:7.
“7. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”
BIBLE READING:
2 Kings 1:13-14.
“13. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.”

Our fifth lesson for today says, “Do Things Differently.” The difference between the first two captains and third captain was their approach to the Man Of God. That people do things and it’s wasn’t working for them doesn’t mean it won’t work for you, all you need to do is to do it differently, change the techniques and think out of the box. The same man of God, that the same King sent his captains and their fifty soldiers but different techniques.
The scripture said, “he fell down to his knee” and appealed to the Prophet to have mercy on him and his fifty. He put aside the king’s command, the result was what count not how it was done. He also had the same weapon as the other captains but approached the Prophet differently. What is the issue that has been giving you Negative result? I huge you today, do it differently and you will achieve your goals.
Good day and God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
