And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? (2 Kings 7:3)
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. (Romans 14:8)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

God wants a people to rise up who have nothing to lose

In 2 Kings 7, we see the prince of Samaria's disbelief in Elisha's promise of abundant food for all the people. This represents the incredulous portion of the Church that will be judged for its unbelief. Next, we see a group of lepers who have nothing to lose and decide to approach the Syrian camp, only to find it completely abandoned because God caused the sound of a great army to approach. These lepers symbolize the poor and abandoned segment of society that God wants to use for His purposes. God wants to put provision in the hands of His servants, but there is a price to pay for consecration and surrendering everything to God. We must be like the lepers who had nothing to lose and be eager for the power of God to move in us. Read more...
