The Prophets and the Poisonous Food

  Who prays before eating?   Who thanks God after eating?   Who makes the sign of the cross over food before eating?

Elisha Elijah Elisha Elijah

 Elisha was teaching the sons of the prophets. They were 50 men  They loved to listen to his stories because they were useful and sweet

 One day there was a famine  But the Lord said: “I will not neglect you”

 “You must be hungry. Come and have dinner with me”   Elisha ordered Gehazi his servant to put a big pot on the fire and make some stew for them.

Gehazi, the Bad Disciple  Gehazi was a disobedient lazy disciple   He did not go to the fields to bring fruits because the fields were far away.   Instead, he found a vine, and picked as many gourds as he could carry.

A Gourd

Questions   Who were Elisha’s guests?   How many prophets were there?   Why did they like to sit with him?   What did Elisha order Gehazi to do?   What did Gehazi do?   What was the result of Gehazi’s laziness?

 Elisha did not eat with them. He only served them.   “O man of God, there is death in the pot!”   “Do not be afraid as God says: And if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them”

Flour

  Elisha stood up to serve and teach them.   They glorified the Lord for this miracle that He performed through His prophet Elisha.   Then they left him saying: Thanks for your hospitality and teachings. Pray for us. What the Lord says is always true: “And when they drink any thing deadly, it will by no means hurt them”.

Conclusions  In the story, gourd was poisonous.  In our life, ______ is poisonous.  Sin.  Gourd + Flour = Good Food  Repentance + Incarnation of Christ = Eternal Salvation   God does not make a miraculous deed unless it is necessary.   Miracles should always glorify God not human beings.   Any miracle that does not glorify the name of God and to the benefit of people is not a true miracle.   Pray so that the Lord may send His blessings and bless the food offered to you, make the sign of the cross over your food, and thank God after eating.

VERSE “And if they drink any thing deadly, it will by no means hurt them” (Mark 16:18)
