1 Kings 18:16-40 records the battle between Proghet Elijah and four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal in a bid to establish whose God is supreme over the universe. Upon proving the supremacy of the God of Elijah over the universe, the prophets of Baal were excuted.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Today the Creator condescends to meet His creatures. God Himself comes to His people; a people He had always searched for.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. We must learn to make sacrifices for the future generations and for one another rather than sacrificing the future generations and one another if we must create a better world for ourselves and for all. Nothing is worth sacrificing others and/or the future generations for. In fact, it's an obligation upon us to leave a better society than we inherited for the next generation.
