Elijah is a stand out in Biblical history and was one of the most significant Old Testament prophets of all time. Why did God use him in such amazing ways? What was the true story of his life?
Elijah's success was based on no secrets. The reasons for his success stand out clearly from the numerous events in his life as though they were three high mountain peaks standing out against the evening sky. As the sun begins to set on this old prophet's life, we can look back and see three primary reasons God used Elijah to accomplish His purses in the world.
Elijah was a man of God's Word (I Kings 17:2-10), A Man of Prayer (James 5:17-18), and lastly, A Man of God (II Kings 1:2-10)
As a man of God, he was one of the special people who had access to God's power to work miracles. As a man of prayer, he was one the few men that saw God respond in most unusual ways. As a man of God's Word, he heard God speak to him directly on numerous occasions, revealing His specific will.
If evangelism and church growth are ever to get to number one in our church we must be about God and about prayer to God. Evangelism is based on the leading of the Holy Spirit and His power, mandated by Jesus and ordered by God's purpose for His Children.
This week ahead determine in your mind and heart that you will serve God and you will take on the role of evangelism by simply doing acts of kindness based on God's power!
