FAITH CAPSULE: Know God to have a stand before God.

1 Kings 18

For one that knows God there is nothing wrong to ask God today that all agents of confusion, delay, hindrances should be seized on your behalf just as Baal prophets were seized. Pray that today, they shall not escape the hand that will seize them, ask for them to be brought down just as the Baal prophets were brought down at the Brook of Kishon. Those agents that do not represent God in your life need to be permanently and eternally terminated so they will have no life to work against you anymore. Do not spare them, go ahead with your weapon (the word of God), invade them, raid them, disable them, unmake them; do not spare them. Pray a standing prayer, allow God to work on your behalf and victory is certain in Jesus name, amen.
One need to meditate and imagine the occurrence on Mount Carmel and Brook Kishon to answer for all that works against one.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah engaged four hundred and fifty false prophets of Baal in a power demonstration. In that encounter, Elijah asked the false prophets to call for their god to show with power. The god of the false prophets was a failure with no power demonstration of their god. When all attempts to call on Baal was exhausted, Elijah placed a call on God of gods, the only God that answers by fire. Without any delay, God answered Elijah and a consuming fire fell. By virtue of God’s showing, Ahab and his entourage saw the move of God in power demonstration. It is written, “Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!”’ (1 Kings 18:39) Just like the people on Mount Carmel saw the move of God and declared, The Lord is God, have you seen enough of the move of God in your life to begin to declare the Lord is God? It was clarified between the God of Elijah and the prophets of Baal that the God of Elijah is the Lord God, and there is none to worship but Him. Know Him to call on Him just like Elijah.
Victory on Mount Carmel extended to Brook Kishon and so shall it be for ones that know God to ask from God. Elijah declared an open war against the prophets of Baal. 1 Kings 18:40, “And Elijah said to them, ‘Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!’ So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there.” One that know God should have a stand before God. What is your stand before God? Have you accepted Him as your only God, the Lord of lords, the eternal Creator, the One that was, that Is and that will always be? Knowing God is not knowing about God, knowing God is the reason for expectation from God that manifests on behalf of man.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to know Him more dearly.
