Who Is the True God?

Read the Story

In the third year, God told Elijah to go to Ahab. On the way, Elijah met Obadiah, a man who feared God. Obadiah had hidden a hundred of God's prophets in caves. Elijah told Ahab to gather Israel and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel.

Elijah asked the people how long they would waver. If the Lord is God, follow Him. The prophets of Baal called on Baal from morning until noon. Elijah teased them. Maybe Baal was asleep! But no one answered. Then Elijah built an altar with twelve stones. He had water poured on it three times.

Elijah prayed that the people would know the Lord is God. Fire fell and burned up the offering, the wood, the stones, and the water. The people fell down and said the Lord is God! Then Elijah prayed, and his servant looked seven times. His servant saw a small cloud. Soon there was a great rain.

Memory Verse

When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!”
