Elisha Miracles

ELISHA’S MIRACLES OF FOOD
2 KGS 4:38
MIRACLE 1:
1. WHO GETS THE ORDER AND WHO GOES? BE CAREFUL WHO YOU ENTRUST A WORK TO. DO YOUR WORK AND PUT RIGHT PERSONS IN RIGHT PLACES. DON’T APPOINT UNTESTED WORKERS TO TASKS WHERE LIVES ARE AT RISK.
2. EXTREMITIES CAN OFTEN MAKE ONE RECKLESS. TO LIVE, DON’T JUST EAT ANYTHING YOU FEEL GOOD OR NICE ABOUT. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, KEEP QUIET. DON’T MISTAKE IMAGINATION FOR TRUTH.
3. FLOUR IN STEW, STEW IN POISONED STEW. THE POWER OF GOD IS GREATER TO HEAL. THE POWER OF LIFE IS GREATER THAN THE POWER OF DEATH.
BIGGEST ENEMY: FEAR
BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF FEAR:
----IT MAKES YOU BELIEVE IT IS RIGHT, AND THE ONLY OPTION.
-----IT MAKES YOU BELIEVE GOD IS NOT ALL-POWERFUL AND ALL IN CONTROL.
-----IT MAKES YOU BELIEVE GOD IS NOT ALL-CARING AND DOUBTS THE LOVE OF GOD.
-----IT MAKES YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF FAITH:
-----IT BELIEVES THAT GOD’S WORD IS TRUE AND UNCHANGING.
-----IT BELIEVES THAT GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL AND IN ALL CONTROL
-----IT BELIEVES GOD IS ALL-CARING AND ALL-LOVING
-----IT BELIEVES THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD.

MIRACLE 2: FAMINE OVER, HARVEST BEGINS
1. IF GOD SENDS PROVISION FOR 100 MEN, THOUGH IT MAY LOOK LESS, IT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH
2. THE SERVANT QUESTIONS. FAITH’S INSTRUCTIONS MAY NOT ALWAYS LOOK POSSIBLE. PEOPLE QUESTION FAITH.
3. THE DISCIPLES RESPONDED NEGATIVELY TO JESUS. BUT, FAITH KNOWS THAT THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD AND FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE.
4. THOSE WHO OBEY ARE BETTER THAN THOSE WHO SAY “IT IS IMPOSSIBLE” AND AFTER THAT REBEL.
5. GOD’S BLESSINGS ALWAYS HAS LEFTOVERS

Poll Results: Are all Mission Fields Harvest Fields?

On Monday, April 30, I started a poll on the following question: Jesus said: "The fields are ripe for harvest... I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor." (Jn 4:35,38) DOES IT APPLY 2 NON-JUDEO LANDS AS WELL? They don't need preparation and sowing? Rather, they are as equally ripe for harvest as Judea-Samaria was because of previous labor by somebody (local indigenous religions and prophets!)? A total of 18 votes were cast with the following main results: YES = 9 I believe it wherever the gospel is preached and people respond. = 5 NO = 1 I'M NOT SURE = 0 One Scholar responded saying: "I think God's Spirit is at work with all people all the time through various way, and sundry ways as Hebrews says. hence they are ready for harvest... but the church is too slow to go." A Pastor responded saying: "I do believe that even in the remotest areas, the fields are alread...

Rocketing Prices Make Vegetables and Fruits a Luxury in India

Prices of agro-products soar higher in India, making fruits and vegetables almost a luxury. The Times of India reports: "The price of almost every vegetables except onion and potato has gone up to 25 to 30 per cent in the wholesale market and retail price staggering up to 45 to 50 per cent. A random market survey revealed an increase in the price of spinach to Rs 40-45 from Rs 10-15 kg a few days back. "The price of tomato has gone up to Rs 55-60 from Rs 40 a kg and capsicum to Rs 60-80 from Rs 40 per kg at the start of this month. The price of onion has gone up to Rs 20 from Rs 15-18 per kg but still remained steady in the market. "Variation between the wholesale prices and retail prices is staggering between 25%-30%." (Lucknow: July 17, 2009). Lauki (bottle gourd) went from being Rs. 7-10 per kg to Rs. 40 per kg. The price of lentils has shot up to Rs. 85 per kg from Rs. 40-45 per kg. The saying "dal bhat ab ameeron ka khana hei" (lentils and rice are n...

Three Divisions of Philosophical Theology

Also discussed as "God of the Rationalist or God of the Empiricists " at Philpapers.org Philosophical theology can be basically divided into three classes: Rationalist theology, Empirical theology, and Intermediate Theology. Rationalist Theology  includes isms such as monism (e.g. Parmenides and Zeno) and non-dualism (Advaitins of India) whose assertions are usually supported by arguments that rationally dismiss experience as false and irrational. This they do with reference to ultimate concepts such as unity, necessity, infinity, immutability, and transcendence (none of which can be predicated of the things of experience). Thus, God becomes the "wholly other" transcendent reality that can only be talked about  via negativa. Empirical Theology,  on the other hand, is quite the opposite of the previous. It actually brings religion down to the earth. The gods and goddesses are more human like, and earthly; and, of course, positively understandable in empirical categor...
