Elisha Wins A Battle For Israel:
The kings of Israel, Judah, and the king of Edom needed the prophet Elisha to consult the LORD before they went into battle with the king of Moab. Before we go into battle in our life we also need to call upon the LORD for guidance and instruction.
Elisha Performs Miracles
The ministry of Elisha is based on a series of miracles. These miracles show the compassion of the LORD God toward His people. Elisha did not take the credit or glory for himself. Elisha gave the credit and glory to the LORD. This is what we also should do in our lives. Whenever we do something that we know what assisted by the LORD we need to give Him the glory and credit for helping us. Elisha also gives us…
Elisha Succeeds Elijah
Elisha was chosen to succeed Elijah by the LORD. He must have been scared when Elijah was taken up into heaven and he realized the mantle now fell on him. Just like Elisha was chosen by Elijah, and the disciples were chosen by Jesus we also are chosen to be followers of Jesus. We are being trained right now to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Elijah Taken up into Heaven
This ends the lesson on Elijah and his life. It is because Elijah was taken up to heaven that we have proof that death is not inevitable to the believer, and that life survives the change from earth to heaven.
Naboth’s Vineyard
Be content with what you have is illustrated by the story of Naboth’s Vineyard. Naboth had a vineyard that was seen by King Ahab, king of Samaria. Ahab pouted because Naboth would not sell his land to him. Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab was a bully. We should praise the Lord for all the blessings we receive in our lives.
Elijah at the Brook
The lessons that can be learned from the life of Elijah help us to understand what it means to be followers of the LORD. Every step we take with Jesus brings us to a closer understanding of His will and His ways for us to follow. We have to believe, trust, be obedient and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Elijah’s Message to Ahab
Obadiah was afraid to do as Elijah had requested because he knew Ahab would have him killed if Elijah did not show up. There are times in our lives when we become afraid to do things we are ask to do by our parents or teachers. Maybe we are afraid of being hurt or laughed at. It takes trust and obedience to accomplish the task we are told to do.
Elijah in the Cave
Elijah had to put his trust in the LORD and it helps us to also put our faith and trust in the LORD. We need to be searching in those quiet places to find the LORD and what it is that He is trying to tell us. We can always trust the Lord in all that we do and everywhere we go. Even when we are facing death we can put our faith and trust in the LORD God.
Elijah’s Triumph over the Priests of Baal
There are many little gods in our lives that people try to worship. Elijah said: “If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.” We should remember this. If you love the LORD and you believe He is the LORD follow Him. Equally if you love Jesus Christ and believe He is the Son of God then follow Him.
