Today our Time Machine was on spot to gather from the Men of God their unique experiences as how God communicates to us through a strange phenomenon.
Reporter: “I am happy to have you here because of our time machine and I want to know about the special phenomenon in your ministries. Our time is limited and to maximize it I will ask that each of you talk about God showing himself in your ministry"
Moses: “Well, I was in the wilderness tending my father-in-law’s sheep when I saw a strange sight. I was mesmerized, seeing a bush on fire without the bush being burnt. Going closer, I heard my name “Moses! Moses!” I answered and God introduced himself and told me that he wanted me to lead his people out of Egypt. I protested giving my inadequacies. If you know God Almighty, he has all the answers.”
He laughed then paused, surveyed the audience then continued.
“Yahweh had a plan for his people. He commissioned my brother to be with me to confront King Pharaoh to let his people go”
Reporter: “Moses did you have any other unusual experience like that again?”
Moses “Oh yes. When I led the Israelites from Egypt and Pharaoh, and his host was coming after us the Lord used a pillar of fire as a buffer between us so that his people could go across the red sea. And he used this pillar of fire to guide our journey through the wilderness. It was a shield, and a protector for us”
Reporter: “Give highlights of your ministries anyone can start.”
Elijah: “How could I forget how God answered my prayer on mount Carmel? I called 450 Baal worshippers, and 400 prophets of Asherah who supported Jezebel to a contest. I told them the god who answered by sending fire on the wood would be the true god. Would you believe they used the day praying cutting up themselves and nothing happened? I built an altar added seven barrels of water, prayed and God answered by sending fire from heaven which gobbled up the sacrifice and water, and the false worshippers bowed their knees.”
Hananiah charmed in “O praise God, (he stood with raised hands) let us praise Jehovah God. (All followed) “I was a captive in Babylon, but I believed that I went there to prove my God is real. When King Nebuchadnezzar learned that Mishael, Azariah, and I did not bow to his Golden image o He ordered us bound and thrown into the furnace. But The Almighty God sent his Son to our rescue.
The King declared:
“Look!” he shouted. I see four men unbounded walking around in the fire. They are not even hurt by the flames! And the fourth looks like a divine being!”
Jeremiah took the floor. “I suffered, experienced loneliness but when I see the disasters and the fulfillment of prophecy upon the unrepentant hearts, I blurted out one day:
“… If I say I will never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am weary of holding it in!”
A holy hush swept the environment Moses spoke:
“Deuteronomy 4:24 “The Lord your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.”
In unison, they shouted “El Kanna”
Immediately the Time Machine departed.
