*Where Are the Elijahs of God?* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over."* (2 Kings 2:14 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Brethren, if we will do God’s work in God’s way at God’s time with God’s power,
we shall have God’s blessing and the devil’s curses.
When God opens the windows of
heaven to bless us, the devil will open the door of hell to blast us. God’s smile means
the devil’s frown! Mere preachers may help anybody and hurt nobody; but prophets will
stir everybody and madden somebody. The preacher may go with the crowd; the prophet
goes against it.
A man freed, fired, and filled with God will be branded unpatriotic because he speaks against his nation’s sins; unkind because his tongue is a two-edged
sword; unbalanced because the weight of preaching opinion is against him. The
preacher will be heralded; the prophet hounded.
Ah! brother preachers, we love the old saints, missionaries, martyrs, reformers: our
Luthers, Bunyans, Wesleys, Asburys, etc. We will write their biographies, reverence
their memories, frame their epitaphs, and build their cenotaphs. We will do anything
except imitate them. We cherish the last drop of their blood, but watch the first drop of
our own!
John the Baptist did well to evade prison for six months. He and Elijah would not last
six weeks in the streets of a modern city. They would be cast into a prison or mental
home for judging sin and not muting their message.
The enemy
has come in like a flood. Is there no Spirit- filled messenger today, armed with all the
panoply of God, to lift up a standard against him? One place alone will keep the heart in
passion and the eyes in vision—the place of prayer. This man Elijah, with a volcano for
a heart, and a thunderstorm for a voice, came to the Kingdom for such a time as this.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest
revival that the world has ever known. There is no fault in God. He is able. God ‘‘is
able to do . . . according to the power that worketh in us.’’*
