Do not waver between two opinions

1 Kings 18:16-24
Elijah in Mount Carmel.
Elijah said to the people of Israel, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it not pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers will by fire  - he is God.
Now Elijah returns - one against 450 -with a challenge. Let's put this  the test and see who is the real God.
Why?
Elijah could said the word against the king and made this comparison between Baal and the Lord for he knew that the Lord is the real God.  To prove that who is the real God, let Israel and the king make decision. Do not wave between two opinions.
Elijah has faith and strong confidence to claim these before so many Baal's prophet and people.
How?
During the spiritual war let be strong and follow the Lord, keeping the way of the Lord, obey his commandment. There is not God except the Lord!
God doesn't like his people waver between the Lord and others.Only the Lord is the real God!
