There is no background given of Elijah other than where he was from. No credentials were cited. His ancestry was not a factor. He did not come from a long line of prophets. His looks and charisma were not what thrust him to the forefront of everyone’s attention. What set Elijah apart from everyone else was that he had the Word of God
The same is true of every born-again believer. If you are saved, you have the word of our Lord on salvation. If you have ever been healed, you have a word from our Lord that is already been proven through healing manifesting in your body. If our Lord has delivered you emotionally or has shown you truths from His Word, then you too have a word from God. The only difference is that Elijah knew and believed what he had.
We do not properly value the revelation God has given us. Your revelation of salvation is better than any lost persons. You just need to be bold and proclaim it!
If you know God wants you well, then you know something that the majority of the people you meet do not know. You must realize that it is God’s truth, which has been revealed to you, that gives you authority and equips you to release His power to others.
Elijah put faith in the word God had given him and boldly proclaimed it. We would never have heard of Elijah if he had kept the word to himself.
You too are an Elijah of God. You have received a word from our Lord and now be bold and proclaim it!
