TOPIC: ANGELS OF STRENGTH
Read 1 Kings 19:1-8
1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
3. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
4. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7. And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
MEMORISE: Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat” (1 Kings 19:5)
EXPOSITION
As human beings, anyone can experience lack of strength. There are times we are inwardly discouraged, because of battles of life. The perilous times pose their dangers to human hearts, and many families. Christian families as well are not excluded from the spiritual and economic effects of the end times. Moses was tired of the murmurings and complaints of the Israelites in the wilderness (Num. 11:10-15). Elijah was tired of the threats of Jezebel and loneliness. He desired to die instead of continuing in the ministry (1 Kgs. 19:5-9).
God knows this time you are passing through. He has provided angels for you, to strengthen you. There are angels that are in charge of helping and strengthening the saints in times like this. They have food for spiritual strength to give to the saint. Elijah was given this food, and he regained his strength.
The journey may be too far and hard for you. The human strength may be failing you. You should try the food from heaven. The Word of God is the food of strength that we all need in the time of distress. When we eat this food, we will be strengthened again. When we are loaded with this food, we will be strengthened against our enemies. Angels of strength give food for the saints in the time of discouragements.
Isaiah says, Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price (Isa. 55:1-2). The strength of God is for everyone who comes to Him. Come to Jesus Christ today, with all your worries and labour, and He will give you rest.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, strengthen my heart, soul and spirit by the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, let Your angels bring joy that will strengthen me again in the journey of life, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, strengthen our leaders in the Church and our nation to do good.
