Be bold!

1 Kings 17:1-7

 

Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”

 

• There is no background given other than where he was from.
• No credentials were given.
• His ancestry was not a factor.
• He didn’t come from a long line of prophets.
• His looks or his charisma did not make him stand out.

 

The thing that set Elijah apart from everyone else was that he had the Word of God!

 

The same thing is true of every believer!

 

• If you are saved, you have the word of the Lord on salvation.
• If you have been healed, you have a word from the Lord that has already been proven by manifesting healing in your body.
• If the Lord has delivered you emotionally or has shown you truths from His word, then you too have a word from God.

 

The only difference is that Elijah knew and believed what he had!

 

We don’t properly value the revelation that God has given us.

 

• Your revelation of salvation is better than any lost person’s.
• You need to be bold and proclaim it.
• If you know that God wants you well, then you know something that the majority of the people you meet don’t know.
• You need to realise that it is God’s truth, which has been revealed to you, that gives you the authority to release his power to others.

 

Elijah put faith in the word God had given him and boldly proclaimed it. We would have never heard of Elijah if he had kept that word to himself. You too are an Elijah of God who has received a word from God. Be bold and proclaim it!
