OBEDIENCE, THE SECRET OF ELIJAH'S SUCCESS
I Kings 17:1-6
I was amazed as I studied the life of Elijah just how much his success
depended upon his simple obedience to the little things that God told
him to do. Today we will look at five important events in the life of Elijah.
I. THE BROOK EXPERIENCE.. V 1 -6
A. The Occasion...After he obeyed God in verse 1
B. The Orders...V 2-3, get, turn, hide thyself
C. The Obedience...V 5, He went and did...
D. The Outcome... V 6
II. THE BARREL EXPERIENCE...V 7-16
A. The Occasion...V 7, when the brook dried up
B. The Orders...V 8-9, Arise, get, dwell
C. The Obedience...V 10, He arose and went
D. The Outcome...V 10-16
III. THE BLAZE EXPERIENCE...Ch 18
A. The Occasion...After brook & barrel experiences
B. The Orders...V 1, Go shew thyself...

IV. THE BATTLING EXPERIENCE...Ch 19
A. The Occasion...After brook, barrel, blaze experience
B. The Orders...(He received none from God, so he took off on
his own...)

D. The Outcome
1. Depression... V 4-8

discouragement that is so prominent today in so many
Christian's life is largely due to our moving on our own
instead of waiting on God for orders

B. The Orders...Go to Bethel V 2, Jericho V 4, Jordan V 6
