You Won’t Look Like It

8th August 2022

Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 9: 1-13

Focus

“Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.” (2 Kings 9: 11)

When Jehu came forth from the inner chamber where he was anointed as king, his fellow captains enquired about the ‘mad’ fellow he had just been with. So the trainee prophet that came to anoint Jehu seemed mad in the eyes of the captains who sat with Jehu. He didn’t look like one who had a message about royalty. He didn’t look like one who could anoint a king. His appearance said one thing, but results spoke differently.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: you may not look like it, but you will birth uncommon results. You may not look like it, but you will enter into high places that you never envisioned you will enter. You may not look like it, but you will bring forth greatness through your loins. You may not look like it, but through you, the gates of mega results will be flung open. You may not look like it, but great results are about to become your reality.

That trainee prophet looked like a mad man in the eyes of captains in the army, but unknown to them, he had the oil that was used to anoint the new king that would preside over them. He didn’t look like the results that came through him. It doesn’t matter how many people that have underrated you; they will eventually witness the greatness that will come forth through you. You may not look like it, but you will shock them.

Hear me as I hear the Lord: you may not look like the greatness you are about to attain, but you will get there. You may not look like the help you are about to receive, but you will receive it. You may not look like the congratulations you are about to receive, but you will receive them nonetheless. You may not look like the high favours you are about to receive, but you will receive them. You may not look like it, but you will make it happen.

Welcome to that new season where you will accomplish results that do not look like they can come through you.
