TEXT:
I Kings 18:36-38, MORE LESSONS: Jeremiah 32:27
The
difference between a prophet and others in the body of Christ is that, like
Elisha, the prophet receives divine instructions from the Lord. The water in
Jericho was bad because Jericho was a cursed land. Pregnant women who drank
from the water had miscarriage and they requested Prophet Elisha to ask God
what to do.
Elisha
poured salt into the water as Jehovah instructed. There was no record of
anybody using salt to deliver from any situation before then, but after Elisha
poured salt in the water, it was no more destructive, And he went forth unto
the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the
LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death
or barren land. So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying
of Elisha which he spake II Kings 2:21-22.
That
is the life of a prophet. Sometimes divine instructions are not common, and
people may wonder why anybody should do things that way. Sometimes they look
like rituals but it is better to obey.
In
our text, after Elijah prayed, fire fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice. One
key word here is “fire”. There are two kinds of fire: the fire that the enemy
makes and the fire that Jehovah makes. But how do you differentiate between the
fire of your enemy and that of God? The fire of God consumes strange things. It
is not strange for wood to be consumed by fire. The enemy's fire can do that.
It is strange, however, that the fire of God consumed stones. Other strange
things happened- the dust and water were consumed. Naturally, water consumes
fire, it quenches fire but the reverse was the case as there was no trace of
water on the altar after it was consumed by the fire.
This
strange fire will burn off every dirt in your life today.
