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. In this passage of the Bible, particularly in 1 Kings 18:17-18, King Ahab accused Prophet Elijah to be the TROUBLER of Israel but Prophet Elijah immediately and authoritatively pointed him, Ahab, out as the ACTUAL TROUBLER of Israel.

Does the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary imply she's God or equates her to God? No. The Blessed Virgin Mary is human like any other human person. However, she was specifically favored and honored by God above all human beings (cf. Lk ...
TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. The presence of God is the one and only true and ultimate game changer. The presence of God is all we need to experience the breakthrough, turnarounds and other forms of blessings that we desire from God. Nothing is too precious to mortgage the presence for nor too indispensable to replace God with. May His Divine presence turn around your life situation/story for good and for glory through Christ Jesus our. Amen. Be assured of my prayers and blessings always. @FadaPeterBenson.
