Tuesday 11th June 2019 Prayer Devotion
Scripture Reading:- 1 Kings 18:1-40
Topic:- Elijah Man of God Man Of Humility
Text:- 1 Kings 18:1,37
The desire for power in the heart of the Minister is not a selfish one when it has as its object, “To make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” The power of Elijah is available only to those who possess the spirit of Elijah. Elijah possessed the spirit of humility. He was not proud or arrogant.
Humility is a prominent Christian grace. It is a state of mind well pleasing to God. It preserves the soul in tranquility and makes us patient under trial. It is a “great paradox in Christianity that it makes humility the avenue to glory.” See John 1:22.
Elijah was doubtless aware of his own limitations. There is no record that he ever aspired to the throne of Ahab despite his influence with the people. He moved at times by a power that did supernatural things.
Elijah was content to retire to the seclusion of the cave or the quietness of the wilderness. If you don’t humble yourself as a Man of God, God will humble you, and when that happens as it did in the case of Nebuchadnezzar, you may be crushed and dwell in animal kingdom eating grass.
