Listen !!!! God speaks

1 Kings ; Chapter 18 Verse 39-40, 45 & 46

Elijah and Obadiah

Elijah on Mount Carmel

39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!”

40 Then Elijah commanded them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away!” They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.

45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel

39 تمام لوگو ں نے اس واقعہ کو دیکھا تمام لوگ زمین پر جھک گئے اور یہ کہنا شروع کئے ، “خداوند خدا ہے ! خداوند خدا ہے۔”

40 تب ایلیاہ نے کہا ، “بعل کے نبیو ں کو پکڑو ان میں سے کسی کو بھی فرار ہو نے نہ دو۔ ” اس لئے لوگوں نے تمام نبیوں کو پکڑ لیا۔ تب ایلیاہ نے ان سب کو قیسون کے نالے تک لے گیا ا س جگہ پر اس نے سب نبیوں کو مار ڈا لا۔

دوبارہ بارش کا آنا


45 تھوڑی ہی دیر بعد آسمان کالے بادلوں سے ڈھک گیا تیز ہوائیں چلنے لگیں اور زوردار بارش شروع ہو ئی۔ اخی اب اس کی رتھ میں سوار ہوا اور یزر عیل کی طرف واپس سفر کیا۔ 46 خدا وند کی طاقت ایلیاہ کے اندر آئی۔ ایلیاہ نے اپنے کپڑوں کو اپنے چاروں طرف کس لیا پھر دوڑنے لگا۔ تب ایلیاہ بادشاہ اخی اب سے دور یزر عیل کے راستے پر دوڑا۔



My point of view about above verses

God told Elijah – go and present yourself to Ahab and I will send rain on the land and he did so

God used Elijah to speak to king and Baal prophets and other people

When Elijah prayed to burn up the sacrifice of bull – Fire of Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice and licked all water in trench against the baals who shouted all day to their god that burn up their sacrifice and nothing happen

Then Elijah slaughtered the prophets of Baal – sky grew black with cloud and heavy rain started and Ahab rode off to Jezreel – The power of Lord was on Elijah and he ran ahead of Ahab


So God hears our prayers and help us if our purposes are aligned with His will or purpose


Its God only Who uses us for specific purpose - question is are we receptive to listen God so lets be in continous connection with Him to live a life He wants us to live - just to obey Him and wonders happen


May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
