LESSON 52
Jehova Na Kɔɔ Wɔɔ Veaitiɛ
The king for Syria, they call Ben-hadad, continue to attack Israel. But anytime Ben-hadad want attack, the prophet Elisha can warn the king of Israel. So he wor able to run away. When Ben-hadad hear that Elisha wor in the city they call Dothan, he decide to catch Elisha. So he send his Syrian army there to catch him.
The Syrians reach Dothan in the night. So the next morning, Elisha servant go outside and he see plenty army people around the city. He wor scare so he start shouting: ‘Elisha, wetin we must do?’ Then Elisha say: ‘We get more people with us than them.’ Right there, Jehovah made Elisha servant to see that the mountain dem that all around the city, wor having plenty horses and war chariots that get fire on it.
When the Syrian soldier dem try to catch Elisha, he pray to Jehovah. He say: ‘Jehovah, please make them blind.’ Right away, even though they wor still seeing, they not know the place they wor eh. So Elisha tell the soldier dem: ‘Yor in the wrong city. Yor just follow me, I will carry yor to the man yor looking for.’ So they follow Elisha all the way to Samaria, to the place the king of Israel wor living.
It wor too late for the Syrians army to know that they in the wrong place. So the king for Israel ask Elisha: ‘I must kill them?’ You think Elisha wor going to use this opportunity to paid his debt on the people that wanted to do bad to him? No. Elisha say: ‘Don’t kill them. Give them food and let them go.’ So the king have big party for them and he tell them to go home.
“This is the confidence that we have toward him, that no matter what we ask according to his will, he hears us.”—1 John 5:14
