THOUGHTS
Many centuries after he has gone, Elijah is a household name. With faith, we can still see his spiritual footprints. Often times, we beg God to make us be like Elijah. That is a sign of his greatness. God used Elijah greatly in his generation. What a great man he was. But he was a human being with flesh and blood. That is the assurance we have, that we can be approved by God. We can also be in a close relationship with God, to the extent that we become great instruments for the kingdom. But our spiritual walk is often distracted by sin, and we easily yield to temptations that we are not able to grow spiritually. For many of us, our spiritual journey consists of constant falling and rising. That is why we are not spiritually reliable enough. Heavenly gifts and powers are great treasures that God doesn't release any one who is unreliable. Are you ready to be the Elijah of your generation? Then you must become a reliable believer. You must depend on God totally and consistently.
