THE STORY (Elijah), Are You Thinking of Giving up or Fainting? Come On, Be Strong!* *_Part 1_*
*Judah Daniel*
In tears and sorrow I laid me down under a juniper tree hiding for my dear life, questions seems to bug through my mind in quick successions without a single answer to show forth. Is the hand of the Lord no more upon me? Why O Lord?
I cried out in fear and confusion. Sir, You don't really care about me, I have been very jealous for you, every other Prophet has been killed and I am the only prophet left. Kill me now o God.
Hmm..! What haileth thee o mighty man of fire that you took to your heel and fled?
God's response to Elijah:
The response of God will marvel many, naturally in such a state, God should be consoling Elijah but look at what God said in response in 1Kings 19:14-18 "Go and anoint Hazael to be king over syria, anoint Jehu to be king over Israel and anoint Elisha to be a prophet in your stead and besides all these I still have seven hundred (700) Prophets who can still replace you if you give up now".
Can you see one shocking thing about this?
Any time an Elijah thinks about giving up the future because of the present challenges and confusions, God has multitude who can replace him successfully.
When a Saul messes up God has a David he is warming up to take over. An Esther is always available when a Vashti messes up, When a Moses disobeys, there is a Joshua who is there to replace him and lead the people into the promise land successfully. Multiple other examples are there in the scripture.
People of God, don't be fooled, God may have ordained you for the throne but He can suddenly change His mind and give the throne to someone else if you fumble or give up.
Let's look at just one example, God Himself had sworn that the household of Eli should walk before Him all the days of their lives. His generations till eternity was covered in that singular prophecy but when Eli couldn't handle his children. God changed a prophecy that should have distinguished his generations forever, it was aborted on the spot. My heart gets heavy when I see certain things in scripture and revelations because this same things are still happening even till today. I remembered My Father in the Faith also telling us of one. I vividly remembered the one as told concerning Kathryn Kuhlman and another by Late Kenneth Hagin. I will tell you just one of them in the second part tomorrow.
What Eli didn't know was that, there was a Samuel God was raising to replace him. I tell you the truth in Christ, if you turn your back against God today or give up, God will not only replace you, you will also be a loser at the long run. You don't want to spend your life in regrets, do you?
The Story continues tomorrow..
*_I pray today, may the Lord baptize you with an unusual strength to run the race, may your strength be renewed in Jesus name.. Keep walking by faith_*
