What are you doing?

I Kings 18:25-28, 36-39 NKJV

Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under  it. ” So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there  was  no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them. And it came to pass, at the  time  of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “ Lord  God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that  I have done all these things at Your word. Hear me, O Lord , hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to  You again.” Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord , He is God! The Lord , He is God!”

Shalom! Day #166. Do you know that it is important that you know who you are serving and worshipping? Let's pray. Father we acknowledge Your lordship over us and that You are the One and only true living God and that You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and there's no god besides You. There's no any miracle worker but You, our Miracle Maker.  We thank You for the privilege given to be called Your sons and daughters. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

There's a lot of difference between our God and the false gods. Many people say that this is their gods and so on, but let me tell you something. THERE'S NO ANY OTHER GOD, ANY OTHER TRUE AND LIVING GOD LIKE MY GOD, THE GOD WHOM I SERVE AND WORSHIP! There's a lot of people worshipping this and that, even stones, trees and animalscan be a god for them,  not forgetting the moon "god", the sun "god" and so on. And from there come all the fake religion, false religion, false god, false prophets. So it is Baal worshippers.

In today's verse, Elijah challenged Ahab and all the prophets of Baal. Even Elijah ridiculed and made fun of their so called god. They shouted, cried but nothing happened. But when Elijah called upon the name of God, then fire came down from heaven and consumed all the burn sacrifice. At that point the people began to see who the real God is and began to repent and call upon the name of God and they began to proclaim the the lordship of God! Wow! It takes a miracle to change the people and to come out of their spiritual blindness. What are you doing today in this generation that's worshipping almost everything they can worship? They forsake the Creator and worshipped the creation. Are you being a witnessed of the Lord our God and proclaiming His greatness and His name to this blinded generation? What are you doing?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

*** if you have any prayer request or any comments, or in anyway that I can serve today, please do let me know, I am at the Lord's service.

Please leave a comment. It would be a blessing for me to hear from you.

In His Majestic service,
