God Of Elijah

I remember the church I was many years ago. Everybody knew that anytime we gathered for service, we were at the war front. I find it difficult to believe today, how a serious man of God can wear a whole 10 yards of clothes (agbada) that makes it difficult for him to move and he is busy folding it up and down when there is a lot of work to do. In that church, if you wore agbada (African design) there, you would carry a demon home. If you want to survive in that kind of place, you have to be on fire just like any man of God that wants to survive now. The issue of fornication and adultery are supposed to have disappeared from your life as a believer. But if you are still battling with these, you cannot be in the last day army. In that place, when we start praying, unbelievers became afraid of taking the bridge by the back of our church. Only born again Christians could use the bridge. Some of them even started speaking in tongues without being our members.

Instead of evil people running from one herbalist to the other looking for how to deal with a Christian, the reverse is the case. It is Christians that are running around seeking for counselling against evil spirits. Your lot as a believer is that if somebody takes your case to herbalists, they will refuse to work with your name. Why is it that many of us have never even seen one single angel in our dream, let alone recognising them physically. Whereas in those days when they lock people up, angels come to set them free. Why? It is because we are not consecrated enough. We have been wrongly programmed.

What do we do?

We need to call on the God of Elijah. And when we call upon Him, things will begin to happen. Many of us need to be touched a second time. That you have been speaking in tongues for five years will not help you. You need to collect a new fire. Let fresh fire of the Almighty start to burn in your life. Drop the primary school things. The Bible says some people when they are supposed to be adults, are still babies. At such time they are supposed to be teachers, they themselves need to be taught the basics of the doctrine of Christ. There are some of us who used to be healthy before, but now they are sick. Such people still carry tablets in their bags when they come to spiritual clinics. Some used to see visions of heaven and the Lord Jesus but now it is

bad dreams or slender beautiful women. Believers who are meant to vomit fire on the enemies are eating in their dreams and seeing the dead. Some used to hear music from heaven; but now they are hearing strange noises. God used to speak to some people clearly before but now they hear very little. We need to call on the God of Elijah.

Elijah was an important prophet in the Old and New Testament. Although we do not know much about his parents, yet he made history in the name of the Lord. He was the first prophet to announce that there will be drought to punish God’s enemies. He was the first prophet to lock up heaven and put the key in his pocket and said, "There will be no rain except by my word;" the first prophet to multiply food, raise the dead, pray for immediate rain, write a death letter to a king and the first prophet to call down fire. When Elijah had gone by a whirlwind to heaven, his servant was stuck at a place called "Jordan." He could not build a bridge to pass nor swim over. He was in trouble and could not do anything. He would have been destroyed by wild animals but then he screamed, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" And as he did that, that God answered.
