FIFTEEN (15) IN THE BIBLE

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Number FIFTEEN in the Bible

a) Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord. Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: "Go and tell Hezekiah, This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears: I will add fifteen years to your life." (Isaiah 38:2, 4-5)

b) The number fifteen speaks of addition.

 

c) The above passage illustrates the addition of fifteen years when Hezekiah prayed to the Lord when he was about to die. When he turned his face to the wall, he shut out everything and everybody except the God to whom he prayed.

 

d) Hezekiah reminded God of how he had walked diligently before him and with wholehearted devotion had been faithful toward Him. Then Hezekiah wept. After Hezekiah prayed and humbled himself before the Lord, he was told by the prophet Isaiah that God would add fifteen more years to Hezekiah's life.

 

e) God could do similar things for you if you would do what Hezekiah did.

1. Turn your face to the wall.
2. Shut everything and everyone out.
3. Pray.
4. Remind God how you have served Him.
5. Then wept.

f) Pray and humble yourself before you ask for your next raise. You might be rewarded with the addition of a fifteen percent increase provided you have already been committed and faithful to what God has entrusted into your care.

 

g) Peace and blessings to you who stand ready to accept God's blessings fifteen-fold.

The End ...
