Elijah The Prophet

And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.’ 1 Kings 17:1

‘Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.’ II Kings 2:11

We are introduced to Elijah when he made a bold proclamation before Ahab, the king and God honoured his declaration. Elijah’s ministry was characterized by his intimacy with and zeal for the things of God. The Lord used Elijah in working many miracles from withholding rain for years to calling down fire from heaven on more than one occasion. He was human and therefore also showed his vulnerability. However, in spite of his fears he never let go of God. To the extent that he’s one of the few people recorded in the Bible as not dying but being taken up into heaven.

In this series we are studying Elijah the prophet, his ministry and walk with God. I pray this study blesses you and increases your desire for intimacy with God and passion for the things of God.
