Elijah’s Challenge: Choose Your God!

In 1 Kings 18:21-24, the prophet Elijah confronts the Israelites, challenging them to choose between the Lord and Baal. He illustrates the power of true faith by proposing a contest with the prophets of Baal, daring them to call upon their god for fire to consume a sacrifice. Elijah, feeling the weight of being the last remaining prophet of God, stands firm to demonstrate that the true God answers by fire. This passage highlights the importance of faithfulness and loyalty to the one true God amidst widespread spiritual adultery and moral decay.

  2. 1 Kings 18:21-24 • Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." • But the people said nothing. • Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one of the Lord 's prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord . The god who answers by fire — he is God."

  4. Spiritual Adultery • Hear the word of the Lord , you Israelites, because the Lord has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying. Hosea 4:1-3
