The people of Israel that God land of
delivered from the sat down there as spectators while Elijah took all
bo***ge the challenge. Israel had backslided completely. By the way God brought them up they didn't need any Elijah to tell them that God could answer by fire. But that day, all they
did was to look on in amusement, and eventually, Elijah stood and cried unto the God of Israel and Abraham. "Let
it be known this day that I am thy prophet, and that I am doing these things at thy word; answer me, O Lord, answer me that these people may know that thou, O Lord, art God, and that thou hath turned their mind back."
And fire fell. What would have happened to Elijah that day if fire did not fall down? That is why I know that the God that answers by fire is my God.
I am taking you through these cries in the Scriptures so that you can see the men who cried unto the Lord because
they were not satisfied with the way things were going.
Eventually it was Elisha's turn. Elisha got to River Jordan after Elijah had been taken away. The only thing he had was the mantle of Elijah that had fallen upon him. He had to cross the same river; if not, he would be destroyed by terrible creatures by the side of the Jordan river.
His master Elijah had a portion of power and yet, with that portion, Jezebel drove him into the wilderness. Elisha knew that if he was going to survive, he needed more than what Elijah had. He therefore cried for a change. He held up the same mantle and cried, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" And the striking of that Jordan marked a change in his life. There was another man in the Bible called Zerubabel. He too cried unto the Lord. His cry was this: "Who art thou o Great mountain? Before Zerubabel, thou shall become a plain." This can be personalised to reflect your situation. And what happened after Zerubabel's cry? The mountain
became a plain before him.
