Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. James 5:17 – 18
Elijah and Elisha were two men who served God and made every day count When the whole world opposed them, they believed in the One Who called them. They shaped the world for the glory of God.
One day, as they walked along shoulder to shoulder, a chariot of fire drawn by horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah was caught up to heaven in a whirlwind (II Kings 2:11). Elisha was left staring forlornly into the sky.
He must have thought, “Without this great prophet, what will become of us now?” We easily succumb to similar thoughts. When God moves powerfully in the life of one individual, we begin to believe that, as long as that person breathes, God can work.
But God is no respecter of persons; He displays no partiality. He has purposes for each one of us. As James points out, Elijah was a human being with the same kind of nature that we possess. And when he prayed earnestly, God answered.
Elijah was just like you and me. Like him, we can make every moment count. Like him, our prayers are powerful and effective. Like him, we can impact this world with the glory of God.
LET’S PRAY.
This morning, l pray you will do even greater works than the miracles that Jesus performed when you believe in Him. May you make every moment count to the glory of Jesus Christ! Praise be to Almighty God, for His mercy and favor that we have seen today, I pray we will see the end of the year too in Jesus glorious name.
I pray all your blessing that had been stole by the enemies, you will recover all in the name of JESUS. May the Resurrection power of Jesus scatter every evil conspiracy and power holding unto your breakthrough in Jesus name. l decree all your sorrows shall be taken away today in Jesus mighty name.
You shall laugh and songs of joy will fill your mouth today in the name of JESUS mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.
