Message
Elijah served God faithfully. But his ministry was short-lived. After the dramatic encounter with the prophets of Baal and consequent threat by Jezebel, he was ready to give up. He requested that God end his life. And in response to his request, God instructed him to hand over the baton to Hazael as king of Syria, Jehu as king of Israel and Elisha as the prophet to succeed him. God further informed him that there were as many as seven thousand individuals in Israel who had not yet yielded to the worship of Baal. In other words, Elijah could have enjoyed the fellowship of a faithful congregation of believers had he not been shut up to himself. He was an isolatee.
Friendship is fun and it makes us feel special. Some people are naturally outgoing and have no trouble making friends. Others are shy and find it harder to get to know people. Teenagers and Christian youths should endeavour to form healthy friendships. A good friend will bring out the best in you, help you learn and grow and be your support base.
