🍇BREAKFAST WITH JESUS🌭🍷
TOPIC: The LORD, He is the God
TEXT: 1 Kings 18:17-40
KEY VERSE:
[38]Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
[39]And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God" (1 Kings 18:38-39).
MESSAGE:
We are in a generation where everyone wants a proof; a proof of God's existence, a proof of Divine intervention, a proof of the Lordship of Christ, a proof of God's vengeance, a proof of the God we serve, etcetera. In Exodus 5:2, Pharaoh wanted to see a proof when he asked Moses "...Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go". And God showed him a proof by executing vengeance on him (Exodus 12:29).
In Daniel 3:15, King Nebuchadnezzar asked Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego "...and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands"? In other words, "Let me see that God that shall deliver you out of my hands". In Daniel 3:24-25, he saw the fourth man in the fire and trembled.
*I pray for you, anyone that wants to see a proof of the God you serve will see it in a dimension he never bargain for, in Jesus name*.
In our text, the people of Elijah's generation were like those of ours. They were confused and wavered between two opinions whether to follow Baal or the LORD Almighty. There is a new wave of teaching nowadays which is causing a lot of confusion in the minds of many people. Quite a good number of people are wavering between two opinions either to follow this new teachings or the old ones which promote the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
In 1 Kings 18:21 the Bible says
"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word". The people answered not a word because they were confused and needed a proof (1 Kings 18:24). But in 1 Kings 18:38-39 when they saw the fire of God fell and consumed the sacrifice, "...they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God".
*I pray for everyone who is confused now, may the fire of God fall upon you and consume every planting of the devil in your life in Jesus name*.
Beloved, there is no controversy, The LORD, He is the God. There is no other God besides Him. He says in Isaiah 43:10 "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I AM HE: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME". He is our Creator (Isaiah 43:15). In Malachi 3:6, He says "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed". In Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. In Acts 10:36, He is the Lord of all. The LORD, He is the God.
PRAYER:
Father, prove yourself in my life in this generation. Let those that love me see a proof of your love and let those that hate me see a proof of your vengeance on them in Jesus name. Amen 🙏🙏🙏.
