FAIL CAPSULE: Begin to declare that, “The Lord, He is God.”
1 Kings 18
On Mount Carmel, Elijah (an agent for God) engaged four hundred and fifty false prophets of Baal (agents of King Ahab) in a power demonstration. In that encounter, Elijah asked the false prophets to call their god for power. The god of the false prophets was a no show despite long hours of calling. When all attempts to call on Baal was exhausted, Elijah placed a call for his 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 and they reacted as stated, “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 that “The Lord, He 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. It was a victory on the Lord God’s side as a result, Elijah declared an open war against the prophets of Baal. 1 Kings 18:40 records, “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.”
Where are you located? Where is your location on the ground of 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? If you will begin to sing it out from the depth of your heart with the expectation for Him to manifest, then you are in tune with heaven for your own Mount Carmel victory.
Now is the time to take a stand and ask God today that all agents of confusion, delay, hindrances should be seized on your behalf just as Baal prophets were seized. Pray that militating forces against you shall not escape the experience of the fire of God. Your enemies shall be brought down just as the Baal prophets were brought down at the Brook of Kishon. All that does not represent God in your life need to be permanently and eternally terminated so they will have no life to work against your God’s breakthrough. In your calling on God, do not spare your enemy, go ahead with your weapon (the word of God), invade them, raid them, disable them and unmake them. Give self to prayer and the ministering of the word of God to provoke heavenly victory in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the strength of your prayer on your prayer altar.
