The Truth
“And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the words of the Lord in thy mouth is Truth.” 1 Kings 17:24.(KJV).
The son of the widow that Elijah was staying with died.
Elijah told the widow not to worry and to give him her dead son.
Elijah talked with God, and he prayed.
He stretched himself over the dead body, bringing the son back to life.
Then the widow believed Elijah to be a servant of God.
Are you a servant of God?
Are there Godly credible things for people to see in you?
Can someone confirm that the Word of the Lord in your mouth is the Truth?.
What do you tell your friends?
Can they also say: “the words in your mouth are the truth?”
Do you still tell a ‘white lie’?
Is it easy?
Did I hear you say the lie will not damage anybody?
It is still a lie.
“You are the offspring of your father, the devil, and you serve your father very well, passionately carrying out his desires. He’s been a murderer right from the start! He never stood with the Truth, for he’s full of nothing but lies—lying is his native tongue. He is a master of deception and the father of lies!” John 8:44 (TPT)
Is lying your default mode?
God knows what you are doing.
Be honest.
Application to the Christian life:
Trust God.
Repent.
Be humble.
Follow Jesus, not yourself.

Elijah did as the Lord told him.
“So Elijah did as the Lord told him and camped beside Kerith Brook, east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook.” 1Kings 17:5-6(KJV)
“For thus saith, the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.”
1 Kings 17:14.(KJV).
So he went and acted according to the Word of Adonai.
Elijah left and did what the Lord’s Word had told him.
The Ravens kept bringing food to Elijah on schedule.
In obedience, the widow made something for the prophet to eat.
In that season of Elijah’s life, God showed up.
Are you experiencing a drought?
Does it seem like you getting to the end?
Is everything falling apart?
Trust God to help you.
Even though things may appear complicated.
Remember that God knew in advance:
Who You Are
Where You Are
What you need.
He has already planned the solution.
You may not understand what HE is doing now.
Wait on Him for His Word.
Elijah acted upon the Word.
You, too, need His Word.
Application to the Christian life:
Trust God in everything.
Be obedient.
Get the Word.
Follow Jesus.

Who Speaks Into Your Life?
“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this day thy so great a people.” 1 Kings 3:9.(KJV).
Solomon received an understanding heart as well as great wisdom.
He made the best decisions and was a good king for the Israelites for a while.
Then something happened.
He became wealthy and married women from other nations.
His judgment became blurred.
He was not loyal to God anymore.
He served other gods.
It did not help Solomon to be wise because he listened to others.
“For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David, his father.” 1Kings 11:4 (KJV)
He could not resist the devil anymore.
What do you do with your knowledge?
Do you also listen to your friends?
Are they encouraging your relationship with God?
Are You Making The Right Decisions With their Input?
Who Is Speaking Into Your Life?

An Understanding Heart.
“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this day thy so great a people.” 1 Kings 3:9.(KJV).
Solomon asked God for an understanding heart.
God gave him wisdom as well.
Why is an understanding heart so important?
When you understand something, you can make better decisions.
Was it necessary for you to be so upset with what your friend did to you?
You may even agree with your friend if you understand the actions’ reasons.
If your friend does not feel well, you may have more patience.
You are also able to differentiate between good and bad.
Pray to God for better understanding.
Empathize rather than judge.
Put Yourself in That Person’s Shoes.
The Holy Spirit can help you.
Whenever you ask HIM.
Application to the Christian life:
Be more understanding.
Daily Learn From Jesus.

Call Upon The Lord.
“I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.” 2 Sam. 22:4.(KJV).
God delivered David from his enemies.
David sang a song honoring God.
He recognized the marvelous thing God had done for him.
David did not just call on God for help.
He thanked God for the help.
He honored God for His help.
He humiliated himself before God.
David realized he could do nothing without God.
Do you realize you can do nothing without God’s help? Do you thank God for delivering you from evil?
Jesus Healed Ten lepers. ( Luke 17:11-19)
Only One came back to give thanks.
Be that One person today that returned to thank God.
Application to the Christian life:
Honor and Praise God.
He is good and mighty.
He helps in need.
He also leads and guides you.
Thank Him for helping you.
