| Boko Haram Fighters on A War Path in North Eastern Nigeria |
The Bible admonishes us to be steadfast in the things that we
have prayed and have seen the manifestation. It means God is in that method or
style of prayers that brought the resultant impact (1Th.5:21). Elijah was a
prophet with a sound understanding and knowledge of God. He knew what connected
him to the Host of Heaven and used it successfully to glorify the Almighty in
the face of diminishing interest in the world of the God head. The prophets of Baal,
a demonic principality, held sway in all the earthly activities affecting
Israel through their human agents. The altar of Baal flourished in the
sacrifices of blood; both human and animals. Jezebel, the queen of Baal, led
King Ahab away from the mind of God and the things that mattered to Him. As the
head was, also were the entire subjects of the country and it was not until
Elijah raised the sword of God against the altar of Baal did sanity return to
the country.
Elijah did not war against the human agents of Baal, rather
the much revered altar with those servicing it. Propagators of the Boko Haram
myth serve an altar, that altar is being rekindled by the blood of the hundreds
of thousands of souls these Islamic militants have killed in Nigeria.
