A call to Evangelism 2

Evangelism is the reason why God called us.
If it was worship, He wouldn’t have turned to us because He has innumerable angels in Heaven who Praise Him everytime.
One thing Jesus cannot do for Himself is to propagate Himself.
We are standing in this world as His ambassadors, to share His Goodness and Grace.
No matter how melodious your voice is, you cannot out sing His Angels.
Let us give a listening ear and read every of this series especially the Evangelist in Hell.
He was concerned about the souls of people when in Hell but didn’t care when he was in Earth.

Where were the seven thousand righteous men?

You are only useful when you are impactful.
That is the only time it can be referred that you are valuable.

2Tim.2.20 – But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

This chapter talks about the competition between Elijah and the Four hundred priest of Baal.
Elijah was not the only prophet in the land.
There were other prophets but we never heard of their names.
In the evil regime of Ahab and Jezebel, there were still seven thousand righteous men purified by God.
There can be a man in the church who looks seemingly evil and the others,seemingly right.
Actually the man who is seemingly evil tells the truth while the others who are seemingly right play nice.
That was how Ahab and Jezebel conquered the land.
There were people who knew Ahab and Jezebel was evil but because they were benefiting from it, they kept quiet and played the say – nice – things mentality.

That mentality cannot take you anywhere.
As bad as Ahab was, there were people who still praised him.
There were people still praising Jezebel knowing that she was wicked.
Even the Bible said that

“No one was as evil as Ahab and his wife Jezebel in the history of Kings”


1Kgs.21.25 – But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

1Kgs.16.30 – And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.

Even though you are heading to Hell, there will always be Four hundred prophets that will tell you what you want to hear but you hate Elijah and Macaiah who tells the truth.
As Christains, we must stand alone especially when we know that we are on the right path.
1st kings 19: 11-18

Here, Elijah had killed the prophets of Baal. Jezebel sent a death threat to him.

And Elijah, a prophet who asked God to rain fire from heaven, ran away.
God appeared to Elijah to anoint three men
1. Jehu

2. Hazael

3. Elisha
These three stronghold were anointed to wipe out any evil thing in Israel.
The people around you might not have the courage to withstand evil.

Rom.11.4 – But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

Where were the seven thousand righteous men?

Are there seven thousand men in the world that have not bow their knees to worship sin?

This is the reason why we should not keep Quiet.
Who is that vocal, righteous person that always speaks the truth but is hated?
Please follow that person.
God needs not just Elijah to be vocal, but He also needs the seven thousand men to rise to the occasion.
The seven thousand righteous men must rise to the occasion.
They must join Elijah to pray and bring fire down from heaven.
The seven thousand righteous men in this church must not keep quiet in the evil.
When we speak the truth, evil goes into hiding.
