Their gods and my God

I was chaffed when the preacher went through the passage in the post before this.
It reminded me of Paul. He’s one person I’m growing to love as I read the Bible word by word.
Here Elijah showed the power of his God in broad daylight.
What got to me is the fundamentals that he addressed.
He asks why the people have two allegiances when it comes to their faith
That’s about being lukewarm
Where do we stand?
HE challenges the said gods to show their stuff
That’s the beauty of God
He will not let you down
He delivers as long as you stand by Him and put ALL your faith on HIM
Not some of it,
Not 90%
Not 99%
ALL 100% of it
Eh also shows the problem with the other said gods
They’re not omnipresent
In fact, they’re not omni-anything!
Another thing also comes out,
The way of worship or asking for your god to move for you
The prophets of baal had very vigorous ways of doing things and prayer
They had to do a lot of things in other for anything that they ask to be done for them
For my God all I have to do is ask and believe on Him
All that’s required is faith
