COME DRINK NEW WINE! Elijah- 1Kings 17- 2Kings 2
Committed
to praying and communing with God- 1Kings
17:1, 18:1, 41-44, James 5:17
Elijah had regular conversations with God as to know what to do next. This
eased him into everything he achieved, difficult as those assignments looked in
the natural, e.g. Visit to Ahab to lock the heavens, encounter with prophets of
Baal and the fire on Carmel, bringing the rain after 3 years of drought. A true
witness is given to a life of prayer and communion with the Lord he is
witnessing about.
Equipped
with boldness- 1Kings 17:1,
18:17-21
A witness cannot be a coward. He knows
his witnessing might well end his life so he receives courage to do it well
with results. The disciples prayed for courage and boldness to proclaim the
name of Jesus in the face of danger and persecution. Acts 4:29-31.
Equipped
with swiftness, not hasty but swift- no time to waste- John 11:9, 9:4
Swift to deliver his message, swift to
pray, swift to follow God's instructions, swift to sort out the matter of
godlessness in the land, swift to call down fire, swift to call down rain.
Committed
to discipleship for continuity-
1Kings 19:15-17, 19-21
God said to go anoint Elisha to take
over from you. Elijah understood that meant "go disciple Elisha for
continuity". He committed to that for the next 14 years. His relationship
with the sons of the prophets was just like a mentor, but with Elisha it was
real incubation.
Committed to praying and communing with
God
ü Take
me into Your prayer mansion and brood on me for a deep communion.
ü Help
me key into the prayer life of JESUS. "It is no longer I that pray"
Let the prayer life of Jesus have continuity in me with results.
ü Holy
Spirit help me to pray, intercede for me. Help me stand before my Father.
Equipped with boldness
ü Equip
me with boldness to declare You whenever and wherever You lead me.
ü Like
with the disciples follow our witnessing with signs and wonders.
ü Let
our witnessing settle the halting between two opinions in our time.
Equipped with swiftness,
not hasty but swift- no time to waste
ü Deliver
me from sluggishness and unbelief. Help me trust You simply.
ü Make
me swift in my dealings with You- in obedience to Your instructions.
ü Respond
to our swiftness with Your miraculous.
Committed to discipleship
for continuity
ü Give
us a clear understanding of Your heart on discipleship- A platform that You
gave to raise Your new race of men so Jesus' life can continue.
ü Make
us committed to being discipled and to discipling others for continuity.
ü Remove
all the enemy's plot to confuse discipleship with church membership in our
days. Deliver us from this huge robbery of the evil one.
ü Let
the Holy Spirit be so present in our midst so everyone can know that You have
approved of us in discipleship.
ü Let
there be love among all Your disciples.
