SCRIPTURE READING
1 Kings 18:36-37
36 And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. 37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”

Elijah was a mighty prophet of God who challenged 450 prophets of Baal to a contest to prove God’s supremacy. At that time, the Israelites engaged in the worship of Baal, so Elijah sought an avenue to turn the people’s hearts back to the real God who delivered their forefathers from bondage in Egypt.
When Elijah prayed on the day of the contest, God sent down fire from heaven to consume his sacrifice. The prophets of Baal were dumbfounded because they had spent hours calling on their god to send fire to no avail. This event proved God’s supremacy over Baal and all other gods.
Similarly, God can use you to prove to unbelievers and difficult people that He is the Almighty. For example, if you have a difficult teacher who says you will never have an ‘A’ in his or her subject, do not be afraid; go to your hostel or room and cry to God to prove Himself in your situation. You will be surprised that after writing the exam, your answers will be so excellent that the teacher will have no choice but to give you an A! My dear child, there is no situation or circumstance that God cannot solve through prayers.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please prove Your might in my life and family, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 50
CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE
1 Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory,
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;
Nothing ‘gainst his mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.
Refrain:
Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood;
God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
2 In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto him the praise shall be,
For salvation and for blood-bought victory. [Refrain]
3 Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n;
Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear. [Refrain]
