Favor and a Mission

I'm reminded of a time in history when Jezebel had ordered the prophets of the Lord to be killed. Obadiah feared the Lord and therefore hid some of the prophets in caves. (refs 1 Kings18)

During the same time Jezebel had over 400 false prophets that ate at her table. The prophet Elijah took many of those prophets and slew them. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah advising him that she ordered him killed. Then fear set in...after all the work Elijah had... done... and after all the false prophets he slew...this particular death sentence has him run and hide.



What separated Elijah from the other true prophets that were killed at the order of Jezebel? The answer...favor and a mission!

Be strong and be of good courage. Continue to fight the good fight of faith, pressing toward the mark for the prize.

There's a saying my father would often say: "You pray...and I'll pray...and we'll see who God answers."



He will indeed answer you! Fear not what man can do. Continue to seek after the Spirit of God. Do His will and His purpose. It's not by chance that you're the one He chose for this mission. That's right...He chose you!!!!
