Faced with four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and four hundred prophets of Asherah, the prophet Elijah demonstrated the power of his God and that his God is also the true God in Israel.
At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed:
« O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again. »(1 Kings 18:36-37)
Just after this brief prayer, the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried:
« The LORD–he is God! The LORD–he is God! »(1 Kings 18:39)
Elijah prayed in faith and the power of God was manifested before the false prophets.
We too, in faith, let us ask God to do a miracle in our lives so that our enemies, our adversaries, our competitors, those who persecute us, those who threaten us and all those who challenge us may know and recognize today that our God is powerful, that He is with us, that He hears our prayers and that He loves us.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us to be confident in your power.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
