    We are called on to act in a manner that pleases God. Elijah’s actions did not please God, but God still gave him what he needed to persevere in faith. We are called on to be united in Christ. We are to be one body that is wholly obedient to God.

As a result of the deaths of the prophets of Baal, Queen Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah. Elijah has been forced to flee for his life. Elijah was discouraged. He had faced ...read more

     | 11,137 views

    Discouragement is part of life. Discouragement comes most often when you do right things but experience poor results. You work hard, but you don't make progress. You have expectations and goals and they don’t come to pass. You seek change and yet nothing changes.

    There are spiritual leadership lessons here that apply to anyone in spiritual leadership. If you have suddenly seen the tide turn against you in your leadership, then you will identify with Moses here.
