Scripture Union SU Daily Guide 1 September 2021 – God Needs Genuine Prophets!
SCRIPTURE UNION SU DAILY GUIDE 1ST SEPTEMBER 2021
TOPIC: GOD NEEDS GENUINE PROPHETS!
OPENING PRAYER: Open my eyes O Lord that I might behold wondrous things from your word in Jesus name.
Scripture: 1 Kings 17:1-24
Question(s) for Reflection
• Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
• What is God revealing to me in this passage?
When evil reigns in any community, country or continent, the first thing God looks for is not a reformed economic policy, or powerful politicians. We never heard of Elijah before this time, and neither do we have an account of his genealogy (read v.1 again). But God chose him to deliver His message at this time because of his faithfulness to God and dedicated service (v.1).
Many of the ‘men of God’ we have today are interested in serving their own selfish ambitions, caring less about the people of God they are called to lead. We need men of God who serve God (v.1), know His Word and hear His instructions clearly on daily basis (vs.2-7). Such people can speak the truth in love and help expose sin. Take time to reflect on the encounter between Elijah and the widow in vs.9-15.

Our God is able to meet our needs in unexpected ways. We only must always rely on Him. “There will be no dew or rain during the next few years …” (v.1b) was the surest way to let King Ahab and the people know that God was supreme over Baal. They considered Baal the god of rain and great harvest. Have faith in God because He is supreme, and our sufficiency comes from Him alone (2 Peter 1:3)!

• Psalms 135-136; 2 Cor. 11:1-15
