Hakuwa amefika tu kwenye tukio (mstari wa 1) ndipo Bwana alipokuwa akimwagiza \u201cjifiche\u201d (1 Wafalme 17:2-3). Unawezaje kupata huduma kutoka ardhini ikiwa huna maonyesho ya hadharani ya mahubiri na nguvu? Wazo la kujificha linapingana kabisa na asili ya mwanadamu na dhidi ya mkondo wa ulimwengu wetu. Bwana alikuwa karibu kumtumia Eliya kwa njia kubwa, lakini Eliya alihitaji kujua kwamba nguvu hiyo haikuwa katika uwezo wake mwenyewe. Alihitaji kupata uzoefu wazi kwamba \u201cYehova ndiye Mungu,\u201d ambayo ndiyo maana ya jina lake. Eliya alikuwa na shukrani mpya kwa Bwana na ukweli kwamba Yeye ni Mungu aliye hai. Pia alitambua kwamba alisimama mbele za Mungu wake, na masikio yake yalikuwa wazi kumsikia Bwana. Lakini alihitaji kujifunza thamani ya maisha yaliyofichwa huko Kerithi.<\/p><p>Cherith inamaanisha &quot;kukatwa,&quot; &quot;kukatwa,&quot; au &quot;kukatwa.&quot; Bwana alimleta hapa ili aondoe utegemezi wake juu ya nafsi. Ni mahali ambapo Bwana anatufundisha kumtegemea Yeye kikamilifu. Cherith ni mahali ambapo Mungu hulinganisha mawazo na matamanio yetu na Yake.<\/p><p>Katika Biblia nzima, Bwana huwaficha watumishi wake kabla ya kuwatumia. Yusufu alifichwa kwenye shimo, kisha gerezani, kabla hajafika ikulu. Musa alifichwa jangwani kabla ya kuwaongoza watu kutoka Misri. Daudi alifichwa milimani, akikimbia ndani na nje ya mapango ili kumtoroka Sauli, kabla ya kutambuliwa kama mfalme. Paulo alifichwa kwa miaka mitatu huko Arabia baada ya kuongoka kwake, kabla ya kuwa mmishonari tunayemjua kama mtume Paulo. Na hapa, Mungu anamficha Eliya huko Kerithi kabla ya pambano kubwa huko Mlima Karmeli na manabii wa Baali.<\/p><p>Kaulimbiu ya awali ya YouTube ilikuwa \u201cJitangaze.\u201d \u201cKaulimbiu\u201d ya maisha ya Kikristo ni kinyume cha \u201cjitangaze.\u201d Ni \u201cjifiche,\u201d kama Paulo alivyosema, \u201cNimesulubiwa pamoja na Kristo; lakini ninaishi; lakini si mimi, bali Kristo anaishi ndani yangu; na uhai nilio nao sasa katika mwili ninaoishi kwa imani ya Mwana wa Mungu, ambaye alinipenda, akajitoa nafsi yake kwa ajili yangu\u201d (Wagalatia 2:20).<\/p><p><strong>Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong><br \/>Si mimi, bali Kristo!
