    Just Like Us (Part Four)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 3, 2019
     | 7,339 views

    Last week we looked at Samson. Samson was physically strong but in some ways he was spiritually weak. We, too can be strong in some areas but weak in others. Today, we'll look at Elijah. He was bold and courageous...well, most of the time.

    JUST LIKE US (part four) Last week we looked at the example of Samson. When Samson was born he was given a special Nazirite vow. He couldn't drink alcohol or even grape juice. And he couldn't cut his hair. These conditions were to indicate that he would be noticeably set apart for a ...read more

    A study in the book of 1 Kings 18: 1 – 46

    1 Kings 18: 1 – 46 Make up your mind 18 And it came to pass after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth.” 2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and there was a severe famine in Samaria. ...read more

    Elijah & Obadiah Series

    Obadiah was a good man in a bad place, risking all to protect God's prophets...his concerns resonate with anyone with a stressful job, and show us the path to encouragement and reassurance.

    It would be easy to skip over this passage as merely a transition, leading to the exciting confrontation that follows on Mount Carmel. Yet this brief episode in the life of Elijah is for anyone who feels discouraged and defeated. Following three years of drought, three years of decisively ...read more

    The decisive, dramatic contest atop Mount Carmel, that compels us to determine who we will serve.

    Elijah has been called “the iron prophet.” After a three-year absence, he appears before Ahab; was he finally going to end the drought? The dry spell was indeed about to end, but first it must be established with no doubt as to who is God. The king accuses the prophet of ...read more

    Can You Hear What I Hear

    When there was severe draught in Israel because God had withheld rain in that place due to their wickedness and disobedience, Elijah prophesied ‘I can hear the sound of rain.’ Awesome!

    Can you hear what I hear? 1 King 18:41” And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.” Some movie lovers and those who have musical ears, identify the movie tunes in a jiffy and then impeccably remember the lyrics and sing it, even ...read more

    The words ‘Ahab went one way by himself looking for grass….’, prompted me to write this devotion today.

    1 King 18:5,6 “And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts…….Ahab went one way by himself….” The words ‘Ahab ...read more

    It is a word that reveals lack. It holds no element of promise. The need is apparent...the solution is not. Nothing. How do you live through the nothings?

    Living Through The Nothings Pt. 2 - Rain Man It is one of my least favorite words. Nothing. It is a word that reveals lack. It holds no element of promise. It contains no ounce of hope.

    Necessity & Intensity Of Prayers That Brings Outstanding Miracles

     | 3,117 views

    Reading 1 Kings chapter 18, we see the necessity and intensity of prayer that brings about outstanding miracles and solutions.

    A. It is prayer that activates the fulfilment of God’s promises: The title of this message includes the word ‘necessity’ because: ? Although God had promised rain in 1 Kings 18:1 that He would send rain, Elijah still needed to pray before the fire fell and before the rain came. ? Although the ...read more
