Who then is the Lord God of Elijah?
- The Lord God of Elijah is the one that makes a way where there is no way. He can path your Jordan so that you can crossover.
- The God that multiplies with nothing.
- The God that brings the visible out of the invisible.
- The God that can provide for His people by humanly impossible means. The Lord God of Elijah was the one that fed Elijah through the ravens.
- He is the one who looks after all those who loose themselves in Him, like the widow of Zarephat.
- He is the God of resurrection. He gave power unto dead bones, and they came alive again.
- He is the Lord that can give supernatural strength. Elijah ran 30 miles by feet and the chariots could not catch up with him. The Lord of supernatural energy.
- The Lord God of Elijah is the God that answereth by fire.
May be you are at the end of the road now and a particular problem seems to have caged you in, call on the Lord God of Elijah, let Him answer by fire. One big truth is that the man who can really pray has nothing to fear. Lots of people are at the point of despair and the Bible does not want anybody to despair. Sometime ago, a sister was planning to move out of her husband’s house because they were barely able to eat half a meal a day. Her salary and that of her husband put together would not even pay the house rent let alone buy food. The husband was praying for breakthrough. One day, in anger, he called on the God of Elijah to answer by fire before going to work. He could speak Arabic and English languages. His work was to serve food in a Restaurant.
One day, an Arab came to eat in the Restaurant and could not place his orders because he could not speak English. So, this brother helped him out. And the man was happy to meet somebody who could speak Arabic. As he was eating, he called this brother and wanted to give him another job after asking for his
salary. The Arab man offered him a job as his interpreter with a salary of 1,000 pounds a day. The brother thought he was joking. The Arab paid him a month in advance and so the brother resigned and they left together. When the brother got home and showed madam the money; madam ran mad. She could not believe him for ten minutes.
That is what happens when a person decides to call upon the God of Elijah. He will always answer by fire. You are going to call on the Lord God of Elijah like Elisha did when he was by his own River Jordan.
You might have arrived at your own River Jordan and enemies are laughing at you and asking you to show them what your God can do. It is also good to tell them, “I serve the God that answereth by Fire.”
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.
