BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS.

It has now become a norm among people of this world moving from one end to another in search of different things which makes them unstable. I have come to discover that many are being tossed around in the process of searching for the real thing because they are not actually chasing the real thing but shadows. In the bid to solving problems, many complicate their problems. In this little piece, I will identify the cause of this inability and the solution. 1st Kings 17-39 was about Elijah and the prophets of baal. There had not been rain in the land and the people of Israel and Ahab felt that Elijah was the man troubling them. They taught that he was the cause of their problem but they never knew that they were unstable. I know that someone wants to understand the word UNSTABLE. Elijah told them that they had been on and off. He said that...How long halt ye between two opinions meaning that why are you sitting on the fence? Israel will worship God today and tomorrow, they will follow graven image as we don`t know where they belonged to thereby making them unstable. I love the latter part of the verse...If God be God, follow Him and if baal, follow him. Why do you have to stand in between? If Israel wants God, let them follow and if otherwise, let it be. Many of us are in this situation as we are between two opinions. We can`t really differentiate whether you are for God or for the world. I want to tell you all this that it is very dangerous to stand between two opinions because you will always be in one problem or the other. It is like an indicator that is meant to show either black or white and it is now giving colour outside those two. It implies that the indicator is faulty. If you are between two opinions whereby you are either cold or hot, it means that you have a problem. In the church today, many are between two opinions as they are very unstable. They come to church to worship and pray and after church service, they look out for other alternatives. The reason why people end up getting nothing is that they love chasing shadows and not the real thing. The reason reason for this thing is that is due to the fact that the shadow will look like the real thing. So once they have a problem, they opt out for solution any where. I tell you to let all this stop for anybody involved in this attitude will always want to kindle the wrath of God. It has been established in the world that... the Lord is God and even experience has shown that anyone that feels or say that there is no God is a fool. Elijah was able to prove to them that that the Lord is God and I am sure that he did not do that in a month as he had tested and accessed the power of God. Now, what must I do to follow God? All to do is very simple and straight forward. It is something that most of us know but we don`t practice to show that the Lord is God. You must first make up your mind to follow His commandments. Elijah told Israel that they had forsaken the commandments of God. Another thing that is essential is that to show that God is God is to build an altar of prayer unto Him. Elijah built an altar according to the word of God implying that he used the word of God to show that the Lord is God. You and I can show that...God is God if we can study and stand on the word of God because it is a weapon that is essential.
