Elijah
There is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower
Elijah was persistent in prayer, the widow (in Luke 18:1-8) was persistent in prayer. Are you persistent? Our faith keeps us persisting! Because YOU KNOW, that you know, that you know, that GOD is going to come through. Until you have a very clear sign from God that you must stop praying. You keep on persisting. You keep on believing that there is “…the sound of the roar of a heavy shower…”.
Obadiah
Obadiah, in 1 Kings 18, lived his name. His name meant – serving God. Obadiah truly served God despite being surrounded by evil.
Courage that Comes from having Faith in the God of Miracles
In 1 Kings 17:24, the widow woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.” Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our family and friends said the same thing about us? So what did Elijah do to recieve such an honorable declaration?
Needs Met
As scary and unattractive this world may seem, God hasn’t called us to leave this world, but to shine His light no matter how dark times may become. I searched the scriptures for a spiritual role model facing similar adversities as the church is facing today. I found one!
