Rather, it is an invitation to more work and battles ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, your success draws the approval of God and acceptance of the people, but remember that it calls attention to you, attracts the envy, animosity, and attack of the devil. It makes the enemy intensify his plots to uninstall the work of God. Any of these provides a reason to give up. But when you feel tempted to give up the fight, never forget that God\u2019s plan for your life is not over yet.<\/p>\n<p>Prophet Elijah was confronted with this reality soon after recording two striking successes in Israel. First, the Lord approved his ministry by spectacularly answering his prayers for Israel\u2019s return to the worship of the true God. Then, the Lord again honoured His prophet by sending down heavy rainfall to mark the end of three years of intense drought and famine in the land of Israel. But while Israel rejoiced, Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, rose with a threat to kill Elijah as he had done to the prophets of Baal.<\/p>\n<p>In desperation for safety, Elijah fled to Judah, where he left his servant, before going into hiding and pleading with God to take his life. He was hungry and soon fell asleep under a tree. He was awakened by an angel who served him a freshly baked cake and refreshing water. He ate and fell asleep again, only to be awakened by the angel a second time, who provided more food, saying, \u201cthe journey (ahead) is too great for thee.\u201d This double diet was sufficient to keep him going for forty days and forty nights, during which he travelled to Horeb, the Mount of God, where Moses got the commandments from the Lord for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Believers must not underestimate the opposition they face from the devil, especially after successful outreaches that lead to souls being saved and names entering the book of life. The devil is flustered by these successes and will fight back, trying to discourage believers from their mission of soul-winning.<\/p>\n<p>However, faith in God\u2019s promises can carry believers through, ensuring that they will ultimately dwell in eternity with light and glory, like Elijah, Moses, and Jesus. Stay strong and do not yield to despair while serving the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>You are God&#8217;s ambassador. There is more to do, don&#8217;t be discourage, give no room for despair, move on, move on. Don&#8217;t be tired,\u00a0 your Saviour understands. It shall be well with you in Jesus name.<\/p>\n<p>Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t be discouraged<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devotion"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4935"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4937,"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4935\/revisions\/4937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drfemialemede.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
