THE ONLY ONE

May 29th – Capsule 29

TOPIC: THE ONLY ONE

BIBLE TEXT: STUDY 1 KINGS 19 VS 10 – 18

Elijah, a prophet chosen and anointed by God to carry out an assignment to bring down the altar of Baal and kill the 450 prophets of Baal, which he did. But 1 Jezebel threatened to take his life and he fled. Elijah must have thought:
• I am tired, when will this end?
• Am I the only one in the whole of Israel available to do this?
• This calling always has my life in danger of death and shame
• It is better I run away from all this
• God can see that I tried, so I give up.

Do you find yourself in such depressing situation? You might be the only active member in your church unit.

You might be the only one taking care of your family. 

You might be only one with integrity in that office. You might be the only one everyone is calling for help. 

It seems you are the only one showing affection in that marriage. In fact, it looks like a whole lot is on you and you are at the verge of breaking down.
Elijah was in the perfect will of God, what if Elijah had Cried out to God for help instead of complaining. Complain no more, as long as you are in God's perfect will, He is a very present help in time of need.

God's reply to Elijah's complain was: there are 7000 holy men in Israel that are pure, whom God would have easily picked from to use, but He chose Elijah. There are other people in that family, church, office, in the world, but God chose you.

Elijah was immediately replaced, taken up without completing his assignment. Do not let God replace you, quit complaining and get to work!


Prayer: Ask God for mercy, and ask for strength for the journey ahead.

Insight: The reason you are the only one is because there is something He wants to do for only you and through your vessel.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
