“I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You have abandoned the Lord’s commands and have followed the Baals.”
1 Kings 18:18 NIV
Israel’s King Ahab had all the other prophets of God killed, and he was on the hunt for Elijah, too. Ahab didn’t observe the Law of Moses, instead worshipping cult god Baal who required sacrifice of children, usually by fire. The wicked king didn’t appreciate Elijah calling him out for his ungodly behavior, but the prophet was very clear: leadership matters. Does your leadership encourage others toward Christ or away from Christ?🚦
