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...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
