Revelation of the Word:

THEME: THE TRUTH

1 Kings 17:22-24 NKJV

“Then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived. And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives!” Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is the truth.”

INSIGHT

–The widow of Zarephath already facing hardship due to the famine, was devastated by her son’s death and she blames Elijah for her misfortune. Elijah requested for the boy and he prayed for him to God from the upper room. The boy was restored back to life and the woman’s faith was lifted after recognizes the power of God and acknowledges Elijah as a true man of God, whose words are true. Many preachers, priests and prophets have risen and they do not proclaim the true gospel of God. Jesus cautions us from believing in false prophets and false christs have come and show great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect (Matthew 24:23-24).

PRAYER

Dear Lord You are the True Son of God having come in the flesh, showing us love through Your life and death on the cross. We believe in You and honor You dear Lord Jesus. May You shield us from the false prophets and false prophecies, and guide us always in Your way of life. May You forgive the church for the embarrassment and shame it have cause You Oh Lord. Please forgive us for the times we may have misrepresented You and Your word. Lord You have called us to be diligent and to present ourselves as approved workers rightly dividing Your word of truth, may You help us and guide us. May You guide all people in our families and in the world and deliver all persecuted Christians. You are our Sovereign God, our Powerful Maker and Savior may You do a miracle in our lives Oh Lord and deliver us from all our troubles and anxieties. May You fill us with Your grace so that we may do more powerful works for the glory and honor of Your name. We honor You and bless Your name, and it is in Jesus name we pray. Amen

Blessed Wednesday
