1 Kings 17 - 19



1 Kings 17



Elijah's Prediction of Drought



1 (2Ki 3:14; Jas 5:17) Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the inhabitants

of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the Lord God of Israel lives before whom I stand,

there will not be dew or rain these years except by my word."

2 The word of the Lord came to him, saying,

3 “Go from here and turn eastward and hide by the Kerith brook, which is east

of the Jordan.

4 (1Ki 17:9) You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens

to feed you there."

5 So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went

and lived by the Kerith brook, which is east of the Jordan.

6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread

and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.



The Widow of Zarephath



7 After some time, the brook dried up

because there had been no rain in the land.

8 The word of the Lord came to him, saying,

9 (Ob 1:20; Lk 4:26) "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon,

and live there. I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."

10 (Ge 24:17; Jn 4:7) So he got up and went to Zarephath,

and when he came to the gate of the city, a widow was there gathering sticks.

He called to her and said, "Please get a small cup of water for me to drink."

11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said,

"Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand."

12 (1Ki 17:1; Ge 21:16) She said, "As the Lord your God lives,

I do not have bread, but only a handful of meal in a barrel

and a little oil in a jar. I am gathering two sticks, that I can go in

and make it for me and my son, so we may eat it and die."

13 Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make

a little cake for me first, and bring it to me, and afterward,

make some for your son and you,

14 for thus says the Lord God of Israel: The barrel of meal will not run out,

nor will the jar of oil empty, until the day that the Lord

sends rain upon the earth."

15 She went and did what Elijah told her to do, and she, he,

and her household ate many days.

16 The barrel of meal did not run out, nor did the jar of oil empty,

according to the word of the Lord, which He spoke by Elijah.

17 Later on, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became

terribly sick, so much so that he had no breath left in him.

18 (2Ki 3:13; Lk 4:34) She said to Elijah, "What do I have to do with you,

O you man of God? Have you come to remind me of my sin and to kill my son?"

19 And he said to her, "Give me your son," and he took him out of her arms

and carried him up to a loft where he slept and laid him on his own bed.

20 He cried to the Lord and said, "O Lord, my God, have You brought tragedy

upon the widow with whom I live by killing her son?"

21 (Ac 20:10) And he stretched himself upon the child three times

and cried to the Lord and said, "O Lord, my God, I pray that You

let this child's soul come into him again."

22 The Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came

into him again, and he was revived.

23 Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the chamber

into the house and returned him to his mother,

and Elijah said, "See, your son lives!"

24 (Jn 3:2; 16:30) The woman said to Elijah, "Now, because of this,

I know that you are a man of God, and that the word

of the Lord in your mouth is truth!"



1 Kings 18



Elijah Confronts Ahab



1 (Lk 4:25; Jas 5:17; 1Ki 17:1) After many days, in the third year,

the word of the Lord came to Elijah, saying, "Go and present yourself to Ahab,

and I will send rain upon the earth."

2 Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And there was a great famine in Samaria.

3 (Ne 7:2; 1Ki 16:9) Ahab called Obadiah, who was the governor of his house.

(Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly.

4 (1Ki 18:13; Mt 10:40-42) When Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord,

Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them in groups of fifty in a cave

and fed them with bread and water.)

5 And Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go into the land, to all the springs of water

and to all the brooks. Perhaps we will find grass to save the horses

and mules, so that we do not lose all the beasts."

6 So they divided the land between them to search throughout it.

Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

7 (2Ki 1:6-8) As Obadiah was going along, he met Elijah, and he recognized him

and fell on his face and said, "Is that you, my lord Elijah?"

8 And he answered him, "I am. Go, tell your lord, 'Elijah is here.' "

9 He said, "What evil have I done that you would hand your servant

into the hand of Ahab to put me to death?

10 (1Ki 17:1) As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom

where my lord has not looked for you, and when they said, 'He is not here,'

he made the kingdom and nation swear that they could not find you,

11 and now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Elijah is here!" '

12 (2Ki 2:16; Ac 8:39) As soon as I am gone from you, the Spirit of the Lord

will carry you to a place I do not know, and so when I come and tell Ahab

and he cannot find you, he will execute me. But I, your servant, have feared

the Lord since my youth.

13 (1Ki 18:4) Were you not told what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets

of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the Lord's prophets in groups

of fifty in a cave and fed them with bread and water?

14 And now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Elijah is here," '

and he will execute me."

15 (1Ki 17:1; 18:10) Elijah said, "As the Lord of Hosts lives, before

whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today."



Elijah and the Prophets of Baal



16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.

17 (Jos 7:25; 1Ki 21:20) When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him,

"Are you he that troubles Israel?"

18 (2Ch 15:2; 1Ki 9:9) And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel, but you

and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments

of the Lord and you have followed the Baals.

19 (Jos 19:26; 1Ki 16:33) Now send word out and gather for me all Israel

on Mount Carmel, along with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal

and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel’s table."

20 So Ahab called out all the children of Israel a

nd gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.

21 (Jos 24:15; 2Ki 17:41) Elijah came to all the people and said,

"How long will you stay between two opinions?

If the Lord is God, follow Him, but if Baal, then follow him."

And the people did not say a word.

22 (1Ki 19:10; 19:14) Then Elijah said to the people, "I alone remain

a prophet of the Lord, but Baal's prophets number 450 men.

23 Therefore, let them give us two bulls, and let them choose one bull

for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay it on some wood, but do not

light a fire under it, and I will prepare the other bull, lay it on some wood,

and not light a fire underneath it.

24 (1Ki 18:38; 1Ch 21:26) And you call on the name of your gods,

and I will call on the name of the Lord, and the God that answers by fire,

let Him be God." And all the people answered and said, "It is well spoken."

25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one bull for yourselves

and prepare it first, for there are many of you, and call on

the name of your god, but do not light a fire underneath.”

26 (Jer 10:5; 1Co 8:4) They took the bull which was given to them,

and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon,

saying, "O Baal, hear us." But there was no voice, and no one answered.

And they leaped upon the altar which was made.

27 By noon, Elijah mocked them, saying, "Cry out loud, for he is a god.

Either he is talking or is gone away or is on a journey,

or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened."

28 (Lev 19:28; Dt 14:1) They cried out loud and cut themselves with knives

and spears according to their custom until the blood gushed out on them.

29 (Ex 29:41; 1Ki 18:26) And as midday passed, they prophesied

until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice.

But there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention.

30 (1Ki 19:10; 19:14) Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me."

And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord

that was broken down.

31 (Ge 32:28; 35:10) Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number

of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came saying,

"Israel shall be your name,"

32 (Col 3:17) and he built an altar in the name of the Lord with stones,

and he made a trench around the altar, so deep that it could contain two seahs

[Likely about 24 pounds, or 11 kilograms.] of seed.

33 (Ge 22:9; Lev 1:6-8) He arranged the wood and cut the bull in pieces

and laid him on the wood and said, "Fill four barrels with water,

and pour it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood."

34 He said, "Do it a second time," and they did it a second time.

And he said, "Do it a third time," and they did it the third time.

35 The water ran all around the altar and also filled the trench with water.

36 (Ex 3:6; 1Ki 8:43) At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,

Elijah the prophet came near and said, "The Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac,

and of Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel

and that I am Your servant and that I have done all these things at Your word.

37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, so that this people may know that

You are the Lord God and that You have turned their hearts back again."

38 (Lev 9:24; Jdg 6:21) Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt

sacrifice and the wood and the stones and the dust and licked up the water

that was in the trench.

39 (1Ki 18:24; 18:21) When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces

and said, "The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!"

40 (Dt 13:5; 18:20) Elijah said to them, "Arrest the prophets of Baal,

and do not let one of them escape." And they arrested them,

and Elijah brought them down to the Kishon brook and executed them there.



End of the Drought



41 Elijah said to Ahab, "Get up, eat and drink, for there is a sound

of a heavy rainfall."

42 So Ahab got up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel,

and he threw himself down on the ground and put his face between his knees.

43 And he said to his servant, "Go up now, and look toward the sea."

And he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing."

And he said, "Go again," seven times.

44 (Lk 12:54) On the seventh time, he said, "A small cloud as small

as a man's hand is rising out of the sea."

And he said, "Go up and say to Ahab, 'Mount your chariot and get down,

so that the rain does not stop you.' "

45 In the meantime, the sky turned black with clouds and wind,

and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel.

46 (2Ki 3:15; 4:29) The hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and he girded up

his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.



1 Kings 19



Elijah Flees From Jezebel



1 (1Ki 18:40) And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done

and how he had executed all the prophets with the sword.

2 (Ru 1:17; 1Ki 20:10) Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying,

"So let the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life

as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

3 (Ge 21:31) When he saw that she was serious, he arose and ran for his life

to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

4 (Nu 11:15; Jnh 4:8) But he went a day's journey into the wilderness

and came and sat down under a juniper tree and asked that he might die,

saying, "It is enough! Now, O Lord, take my life,

for I am not better than my fathers."

5 As he lay and slept under the juniper tree, an angel touched him

and said to him, "Arise and eat."

6 (Mt 4:11) He looked, and there was a cake baked on coals and a jar of water

at his head. And he ate and drank and then lay down again.

7 The angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said,

"Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you."

8 (Ex 34:28; 3:1; 24:18) He arose and ate and drank and went in the strength

of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God.



Elijah Hears the Lord



9 (Ex 33:21-22; 1Ki 19:13) He came to a cave and camped there,

and the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him,

"Why are you here, Elijah?"

10 (1Ki 18:4; 18:22; Nu 25:13) And he said, "I have been very zealous

for the Lord, Lord of Hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken

Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and killed Your prophets

with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life."

11 (Ex 24:12; Eze 1:4) He said, "Go and stand on the mountain

before the Lord."

And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind split

the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord,

but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake came,

but the Lord was not in the earthquake.

12 (Job 4:16; Zec 4:6) And after the earthquake, a fire came, but the Lord

was not in the fire, and after the fire, a still, small voice.

13 (1Ki 19:9) When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak

and went out and stood in the entrance to the cave.

And a voice came to him and said, "Why are you here, Elijah?"

14 And he said, "I have been very zealous for the Lord, Lord of Hosts,

because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down

Your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I alone am left,

and they seek to take my life."

15 (2Ki 8:7-15) The Lord said to him, “Go, return on the road through

the Wilderness of Damascus, and when you arrive, anoint Hazael

to be king over Aram.

16 (1Ki 19:19-21; 2Ki 2:9) And you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi,

to be king over Israel, and you shall anoint Elisha, the son of Shaphat

of Abel Meholah, to be prophet in your place.

17 (2Ki 8:12; 13:3) He who escapes the sword of Hazael will be killed

by Jehu, and he who escapes the sword of Jehu will be killed by Elisha.

18 (Hos 13:2) Still, I have preserved seven thousand men in Israel for Myself,

all of whose knees have not bowed to Baal

and whose mouths have not kissed him."



The Call of Elisha



19 (2Ki 2:8; 1Sa 28:14) So he departed from there and found Elisha

the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen

before him and he with the twelfth, and Elijah passed by him

and threw his cloak on him.

20 (Mt 8:21-22; Lk 9:61-62) He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said,

"Please let me kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow you."

And he said to him, "Go back, for what have I done to you?"

21 (2Sa 24:22) So he returned from following him and took a yoke of oxen

and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the yokes from the oxen

and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he got up and went after Elijah

and ministered to him.

Jeremiah 29:10–14



10 (Jer 25:12; 27:22) For thus says the Lord: When seventy years have been

completed for Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you,

in causing you to return to this place.

11 (Ps 40:5; Jer 30:18–22) For I know the plans that I have for you, says

the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

12 (Jer 33:3; Ps 50:15) Then you shall call upon Me, and you shall come

and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

13 (Jer 24:7; 2Ch 22:9) You shall seek Me and find Me, when you shall

search for Me with all your heart.

14 (Jer 30:3; Ps 32:6) I will be found by you, says the Lord,

and I will turn away your captivity and gather you from all the nations

and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will

bring you back into the place from

where I caused you to be carried away captive.



Because the people of Judah had been chronically unfaithful

and disobedient (Jeremiah 7:22–26; 11:7–10), God brought a pagan nation

from afar to discipline them (1:15–16; 5:15–19; 6:22–23). They'd be exiled

to Babylon for seventy years (25:9–11). Jeremiah witnessed

the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple and the deportations

of the Israelites to Babylon (ch. 52), which included Daniel

and his friends (Daniel 1:6).



But God didn't abandon His people in Babylon forever.

He promised to bring His people back to the promised land (Jeremiah 29:10).

Some eight hundred years earlier, Moses had prophesized the exile

and the return (Deuteronomy 30:3-5). Daniel read Jeremiah toward

the end of the seventy years of exile, which led him to ask God to act upon

His promise to bring the Israelites back to Canaan (Daniel 9:1-4).

Our Daily Bread 26 June 2021 Today Devotional Message



United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt often endured long receiving

lines at the White House. As the story is told, he complained that no one

paid attention to what was said. So, he decided to experiment at a reception.

To everyone who passed down the line and shook his hand,

he said, "I murdered my grandmother this morning.”"

The guests responded with phrases like, "Marvelous! Keep up the good work.

God bless you, Sir."



It wasn't until the end of the line, greeting the ambassador from Bolivia,

that his words were actually heard. Nonplussed, the ambassador whispered,

"I'm sure she had it coming." Do you ever wonder if people are really

listening? Or worse, do you fear that God isn't listening?

We can tell if people are listening based on their responses or eye contact.

But how do we know if God is listening?

Should we rely on feelings? Or see if God answers our prayers?



After seventy years of exile in Babylon, God promised to bring His people

back to Jerusalem and secure their future (Jeremiah 29:10-11).

When they called upon Him, He heard them (v. 12).

They knew that God heard their prayers because He promised to listen.

And the same is true for us (1 John 5:14). We don't need to rely on feelings

or wait for a sign to know that God listens to us. He's promised to listen,

and He always keeps His promises (2 Corinthians 1:20). By: Con Campbell



Reflection: When have you felt that God wasn't listening?

Why did you feel that way?



Prayer: Dear God, thank You for hearing my prayers, though I may sometimes

doubt it. Help me to trust Your promise that You listen to me.

Week 4 -The Blessings of Grace Day 6 - A Reasonable Alternative



Isaiah 1:18



18 (Ps 51:7; Rev 7:14) "Come now, and let us reason together, "

says the Lord.



Though your sins be as scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson,

they shall be as wool.

"Is Christianity Reasonable?" Linda Wanted to Know. "I've heard all my life

that faith is a crutch, an invention of weak minds to assure them

of some order in the world."

Linda was not alone in her objection; thinking people for generations

have been asking themselves the same question.

God is not intimidated by our questions; in fact, he confronts the issue

head-on in the Scriptures. "Let us reason together," the Lord invites.

Even according to the most basic of human reasoning,

faith is a reasonable alternative , a rational choice for a thinking person.

God indicates in his Word that confession and forgiveness are "reasonable".

"Think!" God says. "You sin, and you know it,. You are not even able to be

true to your own principles. You cannot deal with your sin by will power

or effort. Bit I can deal with it! I can forgive it - and I will"

We cannot come to faith in God through Christ by intellect alone, of course.

Our spirits much reach out in faith, beyond what we can see. But intellect

supports faith; trusting in Christ is an eminently rational decision.

In Deut 30:1-20 , God set before the people a choice: Life or Death, blessing

or cursing. "Choose Life!" he tells them. We have the same choice.

The ultimate decision is thus simplified, the 'rational' alternative becomes

clear. We can choose death, by attempting to control our own destinies ,

or life, by giving ourselves fully into the hand of the Master.



Application



a) Why is the choice to acknowledge my sin and receive forgiveness a

'Rational choice'?



b) What are the alternatives to such a decision?



c) What other aspects of God's word

and work in my life seem 'reasonable' to me?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Proverbs 10:22



22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich ,and He adds no sorrow with it.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Saddened by Loss



1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57





35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?

With what body do they come?"

36 You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,

perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.



51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall

all be changed.

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet,

for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible,

and we shall be changed.

53 For tis corruptible will put on incorruption,

and this mortal will put on immortality.

54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,

and this mortal will have put on immortality,

then the saying that is written shall come to pass:

"Death is swallowed up in victory."

55 "O death, where is your sting?

O grave, where is your victory?"

56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through

our Lord Jesus Christ!

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
