Why You Are Qualified for Divine Aid
The challenges of life can be burdensome and appear unbearable. Even the smartest, the richest, or the strongest of men needs help from time to time, as no one knows it all, has it all or can do it all.
							The challenges of life can be burdensome and appear unbearable. Even the smartest, the richest, or the strongest of men needs help from time to time, as no one knows it all, has it all or can do it all.
							Challenges and trials are part of life, only the dead and inanimate don’t have them. We face various life situations that test our faith, maturity, endurance, skills, and expertise. But when the storms of life come billowing, do you fight or take a flight? When the vicissitudes of life become overwhelming, where do you turn for help?
							In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
							In the passage above, we are presented with a model of effective prophecy. Elijah had earlier decreed that there would be a drought in the land for a length of time, which lasted for three and half years, and the situation would only be reversed until he decreed otherwise. And it was so.
							The test of a prophecy is its accomplishment. Talk is cheap; anyone can say “thus sayeth the Lord” or mouth any such sweet-to-hear words to his or her listeners and receive a chorus of “Amen!” without anything to show for it afterwards. When prophecies are released without commensurable performance, the prophet’s credibility is called to question and with each unfulfilled prophecy goes his/her popularity and, possibly, following.
