ADVENTURES OF ELIJAH: THE SPIRIT & POWER

(Message by Tanny Keng)


1. Adventures Of Elijah

a) In the time of the divided kingdom, God sent his prophet Elijah. Elijah was one of the great Old Testament prophets.

2. The Spirit And Power  

a) Elijah’s influence lived on in his disciple Elisha, who took up his mantle and demonstrated the same spirit and power. Elijah expressed his spirit thus: "I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts" (1 Kings 19:14).

b) The story of Elijah’s visit to the widow of Zarephath shows the tenderness and love in Elijah’s heart. The story of his confronting the prophets of Baal shows his faith and courage.

c) Elijah the Tishbite prophesied in a hostile environment where false religion was rife. He had to deal with kings who generally were not faithful to God. However, he did what he had to do, and said what he had to say. God was with him, and Elijah believed this, even though God sometimes spoke with a still, small voice.
