Conflict With the Syrians
This lesson shows the Lord to be in charge even against unthinkable odds and in the most difficult of circumstance. Whether it be an army surrounding you or a horrible famine, God’s grace is sufficient.
The Healing of Naaman
This is a story of deliverance from leprosy and is a picture of salvation. It is also a story of how God uses many people to get one person healed.
The God Who Provides
This chapter has four examples of God using His prophet Elisha to provide for the needs of His people. They are illustrations for us to show us the wonderful supply that God gives to those who are His own.
The Defeat of the Moabites
Jehoram continues the wickedness of Ahab. Jehoshaphat wrongly joins in with Jehoram. The kings and their armies are in serious trouble in the wilderness of Edom. Yet, they win the battle completely. Why? Because Jehoshaphat had enough spiritual sense to seek the Lord in the time of trouble. Do you have that much sense?
Elijah Taken Into Heaven
This passage tells of the translation of Elijah to heaven, but the real story is about Elisha. He is determined to follow his master to the end and he desires a double portion of Elijah’s blessing. We see that he gets the blessing and begins to perform some of the miracles for which he is known. O, that we might follow hard after God (Psalm 63:8) as Elisha followed hard after the spirit of Elijah!
Ahaziah and His Sickness
Ahaziah gives us a powerful type of the sinful condition of man’s wrong ways to seek deliverance from the sickness unto death. There is a good salvation message in this lesson.
Ahab Takes Naboth’s Vineyard
This chapter shows us what happens when the covetous heart runs free. The righteous Naboth paid the initial price of Ahab’s covetousness. We should beware the evil results of a covetous heart.
Elijah on Mount Horeb
Elijah had just enjoyed one of the greatest victories in the Bible record. He follows it up with a great defeat.
The Work of Elijah in the Time of Drought
Elijah was a prophet of God during the reign of Ahab; he is mentioned 99 times in the Bible. Nine is the number of fruit in the Bible and Elijah certainly had a fruitful ministry.
The Division of the Twelve Tribes
The price for serving other gods will not be furnished by God. Taxation of the people must be accomplished. This lesson shows the folly of a compromising nation who has turned from serving The Lord God Jehovah.
