HE EVEN CONSUMES IMPEDIMENTS
Read I Kings 18:1-40
I Kings 18:38, KJV
"Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench."
May God glory over all impossibilities in your life. The Lord is set to minister to someone in power and help you overcome some certain impediments that has stopped, hindered, frustrated you, refusing remedy till now. We can explain or teach but the demonstration of power is what lays a seal on such teaching or explanation. And today, the Spirit of power - the Spirit divine will attend to your needs. God will visit your home, business, career, education etcetera.
In today's reading, there's revival in Israel. If journalists were to create an headline to capture this event of the day, they'd say, "Contest on Mount Carmel: Who Goes Home With the Citizenry?" Elijah poses a challenge to the prophets of Baal and the grooves. Nothing worked however for them. For Elijah however, God met his prayer with fire which according to biblical account not only consumed the burnt sacrifice, wood and dust but consumed the stones and licked up the water - flowing water in the trench. When the fire of the Lord fell, it not only consumed the conceivable to human imagination and consumables like flesh or wood but it as well consumed the impossibles and the inconsumables i.e stones and water. For instance, stone is part of the inconsumable that should have been spared. Also, the amount of water that is present in the trench is so much that it should have quenched the fire itself. That should have hindered the quick consuming power of the fire; thereby constituting itself as an impediment. However, this same fire leaks it up. What a thing! What a victory! Look at how God glorifies Himself over all the impediments and impossibilities on Elijah's prayer being totally answered that day. Same way, God shall glory over all impediments in your life.
You yourself may be of the opinion that some things are possible in your life while some are not. "The meat is consumable but what about the stones", you ask? Our own God is not only the God of the valley but also of the mountain. He is instant in and out seasons. Darkness is as light to Him; so, He is not confused, discouraged or overwhelmed by what naturally puzzles or troubles the human mind. Are there stones and water, much water around your own trenches today? Let it alone, the Lord shall glory over them all. God is not only a specialist over the humanly possible things in our lives. That someone is God is that He rules supreme even over all impossibilities and unnaturalness in human lives. On this note, you can be assured that your defiant sickness, disease, addiction, spiritual affliction in dreams transcending into reality etc shall all be dealt with and wiped clean from your life. He consumed the stones and licked the water. Now, the Lord is scanning through your life, family and all things that pertain to you. He's doing a running for information now and wherever He encounters what the doctor or any specialist has called impossible, He's taken over them now. Now! He'll consume them. None shall be spared. Impediments to specialists doesn't puzzle Him.
The Bible says, "who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain..." (Zechariah 4:7, KJV).
As the Lord work this works, all mountains (impossibilities as they're classified by human discovery, wisdom and specialist) shall all become plain. It is Jesus of Nazareth moving on to thresh them down for you. It is what God threshes down for you that is simplified, humbled and possible to glory over. All your impediments shall so much be threshed down to the earth that you'll gain absolute victory over them all. What did David do to Goliath? When the giant was threshed down, David ran and stood over him in absolute victory (I Sam. 17:49-51). Also, when the five kings were taken, Joshua asked men of Israel and the captains to stand putting their feet on their necks in absolute victory (Joshua 10:24). Nothing shows the defeat and triumph of another other than that. Today, you're having that absolute victory. Everything that is above you is beneath God. Now that He's threshing them down for you, they shall come under you too, under your dominion as totally disarmed. It is so! He has consumed your stones and licked your water. He spares no challenge, impediment or difficulty in your life. It's all Yahweh has taken out. Glory!
PRAYER: Place your hands wherever you're sick or diseased. Thank God for His healing there. [Go for check-up, you'll meet it so. Then, send us your testimony]. Also, note down any life's challenge of yours and praise God for settling it already.
