When the brook runs dry!
In this podcast, I share from the 1 Kings 17:1-8. Elijah stands before King Ahab and prophetically declares that there will be no rain according to “his word”. Elijah had to HIDE himself at Cherith. The “hiding place” is a place when one comes to a standstill from active ministry. This time of hiding is not a waste of time but it is preparation time for greater things ahead. Cherith, is a place of cutting and piercing. God will take you to Cherith before he ever takes you to Carmel. God sustains Elijah and provides water and food for him. Yet after a while the brook dried up. God’s word was seasonal and not permanent. We need a fresh word from the Lord continuously. We have to know that sometimes a word from the Lord may have an expiration date to it. The God who led Elijah TO Cherith is the same God who let him OUT of Cherith. “The Lord is my shepherd” and he is my shepherd even at Cherith. God does not normally lay out the long-term scenario. When Elijah spoke to Ahab, he had no idea what the next step would be. God made the next step clear as Elijah was faithful in what God had already given him to do. As you take a step of obedience, then God will show you what to do next. Be blessed ❤️
