‘Training For The Prophet.’
1 Kings 17:1-24.
a) 1 Kings 17:1. Beginning to serve in obedience to God. Do not wait until the “training programme” is finished, it never finishes.
b) 1 Kings 17:2-6. Trusting the Lord’s provision through ravens and a stream. He had to be humble.
c) 1 Kings 17:7. He faced an “in need” situation. All part of God’s training.
d) 1 Kings 17:8-16. A very pleasant environment of provision fro the Lord for the widow, her son and Elijah.
e) 1 Kings 17:17-18. Facing a difficult situation – the death of the son.
f) 1 Kings 17:19-23. An opportunity for Faith to be manifested. The Prophet’s life is a life of Faith.
g) 1 Kings 17:24. The Prophet had proved himself as a man of God.

Chris.
The Work that we are given by the Lord should be finished. If the Work is not given to us by the Lord it should never be started. When God gives us work to do He will make sure that we are enabled to complete it. If something “goes wrong” do not give up – but like Elijah, prove God through Faith.
