Why following Baal?
Between God and gods , who is powerful?
At noon, Elijah began to make fun of them. Elijah said, “If Baal is really a god, then maybe you should pray louder! Maybe he is busy thinking! He could be sleeping! May be you should pray louder and wake him! So the prophets of prayed louder. They cut themselves with swords and spears. The cut themselves until the blood flowed over them. The afternoon passed but the fire still had not started. The prophets continued to act wild until time came for the evening sacrifice. But nothing happened – there was no answer from Baal. There was no sound. There was no one listening. 1 Kings 18: 27-29.
Understanding these scriptures, we see that Idolaters are completely ignorant of the true knowledge, life the false prophets of these days too.
Someone who knows God and believes in him; the ears of God always hear him.
Lets us take the Example of Prophet Elijah.
It was time for the afternoon sacrifice. So the prophet Elijah went near the altar and prayed,” Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I ask you now to prove that I am your servant. Show these people that you commanded me to do all these things. Lord answer my prayer .show these people that you, Lord, are God. Then the people will know that you are bringing them back to you.” So the lord sent down fire. The fire burned the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the ground around the altar. The fire also dried up all the water in the ditch. All people saw this happen. The people bowed down on the ground and began saying,”The Lord is God! The Lord is God!” 1 Kings 18:36-39.
Let us Say ,”The Lord is God of Abraham ,Isaac and Jacob is the God of miracles and sin, He is not failure .”
