MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 13 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Lessons From the Life of Elijah (III)
TOPIC: Lessons from the Life of Elijah (III) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 13 December 2018)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 37:11-14
MEMORY VERSE: “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:” – 1 Corinthians 2:4
The MESSAGE:
The Bible says that the kingdom of God comes by power. Elijah was a man of power and authority. That was because he had the Spirit of God in great measure. The Holy Spirit is the believer’s source of power. He is the spiritual dynamo. Elijah was Spirit-led. His word carried authority and power. With them, he could enforce dominion and the mandate of heaven. Right in the presence of Ahab the king, Elijah decreed and closed the heaven over Israel and there was nothing Ahab could do about it. For a space of three and a half years, Elijah put the whole nation in famine and proved that Jehovah ruled in the affairs of men. We can’t do much to move the kingdom of God forward and upward if we cannot demonstrate the awesome power of God in a way that unbelievers and doubting believers would say, “Indeed, Jehovah is God. There is no other.”
The contest on Mount Carmel was a display of supernatural power by two opposing forces: the forces of God and those of the devil. Good triumphed and His servant was vindicated. Elijah’s life was characterised by the demonstration of God’s power for good works. He multiplied the last meal of the widow of Zarephath so much so that she and her son never ran out of food throughout the famine. He also demonstrated God’s power by raising the widow’s son back to life when the son died.
Beloved, Jesus said that without signs and wonders people would not believe. We are called to carry and demonstrate God’s power to heal the sick, deliver the oppressed and raise the dead. God anointed Jesus for that purpose and Jesus Himself gave us power and authority (Acts 10:38; Luke 9:1-2). I encourage you to pray for the baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire. That is the key to walking in supernatural power and doing exploits for God.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS YOUR SPIRITUAL DYNAMO, BEFRIEND HIM AND YOU WILL FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.
