During the period covering the last 130 years of Israel and the last 250 years of Judah-II Kings records the response of the people to these prophets in the order they spoke and wrote:
Elijah [*875-855 BC],
Elisha [*855-795],
Obadiah [840-825],
Joel [825-810],
Jonah [*785-770],
Amos [*765-755],
Hosea [*755-715],
Isaiah [740-692],
Micah [735-700],
Nahum [650-620],
Zephaniah [635-623],
Jeremiah [625-575],
Habakkuk [620-608],
Daniel [605-535],
Ezekiel [595-560].
The sad truth remains — few listened to God speaking through them.
God’s servants listen to His Words. Second Kings is a book about servants. God has good servants and evil servants. He rewards the good and punishes the bad. Life is all about who we will serve. In this book we see portraits of failed opportunities to serve God and beautiful lives of service for Him. Who are you serving today? God or yourself?
We can draw an incredible wealth of lessons on servanthood from this small book. Here are no less than ten powerful components of those who serve God.
