BATTLE FOR MALTA

Divine Strategies for Winning Life’s Battles

Bible Passage: 2 Kings 3:16-18

2 Kings 3:16–18 “And he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Make this valley full of ditches.’ For thus says the Lord: ‘You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.’ And this is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.”

1. Digging Ditches: Act in Faith

2 Kings 3:16 “And he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Make this valley full of ditches.’”

God often asks us to act in faith even when we can't see the outcome.

Elisha instructs the people to dig the valley full of ditches without any indication of rain or water. T

2. Divine Provision: Expect Miracles

2 Kings 3:17 “For thus says the Lord: ‘You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.’”

God's provision comes in unexpected ways—here, water appears without wind or rain.

Similar to Jesus turning water into wine

3. Sure Victory: Rest in God

2 Kings 3:18 “And this is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.”

This demonstrates the simplicity and ease with which God can provide victorious outcomes through His power.

This draws connections to how Christ’s power is sufficient for our battles, encouraging believers to rest in His strength.

Ultimately, victory is found not through our efforts but through our reliance on His mighty hand.
