The Prepared Church Series
Contributed by Mike Hullah on Dec 31, 2018 (message contributor)
Summary: God's Promise is always achieved through preparation, whether individually or corporately, you cannot avoid the journey if we want to get to the destination. This sermon compares Elijah's life and the steps he took to the principals of the process of God.
4. Those who would proclaim must first learn to be still ( the silence of the desert compared to the business of life)
5. Faith is formed in the arena of having nothing.
CONCLUSION: There were two things that happened at Kerith:
Elijah saw himself, his own weakness, his own inability, his own flesh and his own pride.
Elijah develops a relationship, and dependency, on God, that would make him one of the most powerful vessels of God that we read about in all of scripture!
The last day Church needs to learn the lesson of God sufficiency instead of self sufficiency if it is to impact the last days.
It was God that sent Elijah to Kerith, it was God who sustained him in Kerith, it was God who would take out of Kerith in power.
