      Can't You Do Just a Little Bit More? - Dag Heward-Mills

       CHAPTER 1

      Joash, King of Israel; Can’t You Do Just a Little Bit More? 

      Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. And he said, open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. And he said, take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, THOU SHOULDEST HAVE SMITTEN FIVE OR SIX TIMES; THEN HADST THOU SMITTEN SYRIA TILL THOU HADST CONSUMED IT: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice. And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

      2 Kings 13:14-20

      Elisha was angry with King Joash because he could have smitten the ground five or six times but he only smote the ground three times.  If only he had smitten the ground a little bit more, he would have had a much greater victory. 

      King Joash is the quintessential example of someone who could have done just a little bit more. What difference is there between striking the ground three times and striking the ground five times?  Just a little bit more and it would have made such a difference!  If he had smitten the ground five or six times, he would have destroyed Syria permanently.  

      Today, there are many little things that we can do that will make a huge difference in the overall effort of building the kingdom of God. Just a little bit more effort, time and money will make a huge difference for the kingdom of God.  

      I am sure that the apostle John must have read the accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke.  He could have said to himself, There is no need to write about the life of Jesus.  However, he decided to take up the task and do a little bit more in terms of writing about the ministry of Jesus Christ. Because of John’s writings we know the story of the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead after four days.  We also know the story of the healing of the man by the Pool of Bethesda.  Through John’s  a little bit more we know famous words like: 

      In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God

      Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of heaven

      God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son

      I am the Good Shepherd

      I am the Resurrection and the Life

      I am the Light of the world

      I and my Father are one.

      I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly

      Greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life

      I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

      Whatever you ask in My name I will do it

      I am the Vine, you are the branches 

      If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you

      If you love Me feed My sheep

      Now, suppose for one minute that John had not written his account of Jesus Christ’s life and ministry?  Supposing that he had assumed, like many of us are doing today, that there is no need to do a little bit more?  John did a little bit more and look at the big difference it has made in the world! 

      Can you imagine what it would be like if we did not know about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead after four days?  Can you imagine if you did not know that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life just because John was too lazy to write it?  Can you imagine if John assumed that Matthew or Mark would mention all these things in their writing and therefore rested on his oars?  

      Let us consider Luke who had many things to do since he was a doctor. Supposing he had decided not to write his account since Matthew, Mark and John had written gospels already. Some say they
