                       A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; OLD TESTAMENT STORIES

                              ONLY A LITTLE FLOUR AND OIL PART I

"I, Elijah, live in Tishbe in Gilead, Israel.... I am a prophet of God.... Unfortunately, we are having a very ungodly king over us today.... His name is Ahab.... He does not worship our God... Instead he worships a false god named Baal... God is very angry with king Ahab for setting up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.... God has now told me to go to king Ahab with a message for him....I have to tell him that there will be no rain for the next few years."... Please read the typed out attachment when we will learn about the prophet Elijah's visit to king Ahab.....

God is very angry with king Ahab if Israel because he has chosen to worship a false god Baal and sends the prophet Elijah to him as you can read in I Kings 17:1

Now Elijah, the Tishbite from Tishbe in Gilead said to Ahab, "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."

The prophet Elijah tells king Ahab God has decided that as punishment for his disobedience there will be no dew or rain for some years.
