You caused the famine in your life

In 1 Kings 16:29

Ahab becomes King of Israel. Ahab did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him.

Ahab began to serve the deity Baal, and as a leader lead the people of Israel astray. He also allowed his wife Jezebel to kill all of God's prophets but one survived, Elijah.

Elijah told Ahab that "As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.

Then God gave Elijah directions on where to go and live and told him he could drink from the brook there and God said he would have the ravens bring him food. And Elijah obeyed the word of God and the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening.

The bible is very clear about being obedient to God. Time and time again God wanted to bless his people but could not due to there disobedience.

In this story Elijah stands as a message from God of what happens when we are disobedient and what happens when we are obedient.

Ahab was king! He should of been experiencing the many wonderful blessings of the Lord. But 1st he choose to marry outside of God's will by marrying a pagan wife.

Then he allowed himself to began to worship the deity of Baal. Which brought a famine upon the land and all the people and Ahab and the people suffered.

So you say I don't worship other Gods, but is that really true. The definition of worship is: a.The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.

What do you put before God? Is it Liquor? of yea liquor is a god. Do you bless the bottle before you open it?

Do you follow the ritual of pouring out a little liquor for your dead homies before you drink?

Do you have to have a cigarette everyday? Do you open the pack a certain way with each new pack?

Do you roll your weed a certain way and watch the same movie everyday while your high?

Do you do what your boyfriend or girlfriend tells you to, instead of listening to God?

Are you completely ignoring God and living outside the way the bible instructs you? If so you are worshiping other god's and the result will be a famine in your life.

If you have not accepted Jesus as your savior you are wide open for the devil to inflict you with the famines of life.

When you are out of fellowship with God, the enemy will attack your finances your emotions, your confidence, your health, your dreams.

The definition of famine is: a drastic shortage. When famine hits you will have a shortage of money, a shortage of love, a shortage of peace, a shortage of hope, a shortage of purpose, a shortage of joy, a shortage of time.

Now while everyone else was in a famine. The man of God was living by a brook drinking of the brook and receiving food morning and evening without having to work for it!

Long story short, God will provide. The bible says If you fully obey the Lord your God all these blessings will come upon you. You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

Translation: he will bless your bank accounts, your business, your children, your money in the bank will be blessed and make you more money. He will bless your investments and bless you in all you do!

Now how can you beat that! While the world is in a recession God's people will still be blessed, if you obey the Word of the Lord!

Go where God says go and do what God says do and he will bring you meat in the morning and meat in the evening.

The famine in your life is on you. Choose today to obey God and he will send the rain to water your life!
