ABOUT THIS TIME TOMORROW

God always provides us with an opportunity to reveal his power and glory usually at a time when our strength is waning,at a moment when our faith is down,and not only does he expect us to be obedient but expects us to do away with our unbelief,lack of it is a sin by which men greatly dishonour and displease God, and deprive themselves of the favors he designed for them.
Elisha was a man of God who prophesied to the people and was met with serious unbelief and resistance,Ben-Hadad king of Aram had earlier on mobilized his entire army and marched up and laid siege to Samaria,There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels,women butchered their children for food,dove droppings or "pupu"(Imagine kaloli excretion being the best meal you'll ever have) sold like hot cake!!
The Lord quickly heard the cries of the people,and he sent a message through his prophet Elisha

 “Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”

A seah of flour was probably about 12 pounds or about 5.5 kilograms of flour,the seah of barley  about 2/5 ounce or about 12 grams;a shekel would be 30cents at today's price.

At such a time as this only those few who had belief could concur with Elisha that surely the lord shall provide for his people,The godly are always assured of Gods help in their necessity, but the times and hours are only revealed by Gods Spirit,and that is exactly what happened on that day in Samaria.
The good provisions of the lord are always in great measures,with unending supply,I am always surprised with a few friends of mine who are afraid of being laid off,afraid of starting up something new or even giving to a charity or the ones in need because they think they would have lost a big sum of money,this all adds up to one thing,lack of trust in the Lord who always provides,as a matter of fact ,God,when he pleases can turn one dollar bill into a million dollars or more,any one doubting that?
I recently had picked tremendous interest in the stock markets and i realised that in a space of time that did not exceed 6 months a certain company National Media Group,that had just enlisted on the Uganda Securities Exchange was trading at 11 Ug Shs,and when i looked up at how the markets where fairing today,i realised it's now trading at 4,587 Ug Shs,a 41,600% appreciation on each stock,ceteris peribus!,that's exactly what God can do with our little resources,that not even the poorest shall consider themselves poor.
That those who are lacking shall stay calm and wait for their good shepherd to lead them in green meadows and guide them to the peaceful waters,and they shall have there feel,that even store houses and barns will be pulled down,new ones constructed to have enough space to put in those blessings.
So when the lord tells us to believe and mentions to us the words "ABOUT THIS TIME TOMORROW",all will be well,we only need to sit back and relax and wait the great master to do his will.
Lord as we constantly wonder and ponder where our help will come from,Lead us into the green pastures,refresh us always,not only with earthly food but with food for the soul,and teach us to trust you always,that even if the devil robs away from us all we have,we shall proclaim with our own mouths that the Lord is our shepherd there is nothing we shall want.
