Whenever we go through a great battle we always have the days following that event and sometimes those are
the most dangerous period.
There are people who give up during the battle for they have not achieved what they wanted but there are those that in-spite of achieving what they want they still give up. Let us read the case of Elijah.
"Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and [a]how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your [b]life as the [c]life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And he [d]was afraid and arose and ran for his [e]life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a [f]juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take my [g]life, for I am not better than my fathers.” 1 Kings 19:1-4
After an amazing victory against the four hundred and fifty prophets of ball Elijah then decides he had enough and no longer wanted to live any more.
How come after such a great victory he got scared of the words of Jezebel and decided to quit his ministry.
The same has been happening with many people who conquered many victories in church and gave amazing testimonies but did not keep the faith to go until the end.
I never forget what it says in Hebrews 11:13 "These all died in faith, not having received the promises...
What about us? How are we going to die?
Are you going to die in faith or is your faith dying?
