Elijah challenged Baal’s prophets to contest to prove who the true God is.
Elijah and Baal’s prophets agreed to offer a sacrifice of a bull to their respective gods with the understanding that “the God who answers by fire he is God.
Baal’s prophets sacrificed a bull and put it on the altar.
They prayed to Baal, screamed and pleaded and cut their bodies but there was no response.
Elijah ridiculed them to pray harder as Baal could be sleeping or away on a trip.
Baal tailed to answer his prophets’ prayers.
When time for Elijah came, he first repaired the abandoned altar of Yahweh.
He then prepared an altar with twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
He dug a trench round the altar and poured water on the wood until it tilled the trench.
He prepared the sacrifice and put it on the altar and then prayed to God to prove Himself the true God.
God answered with fire and burnt the sacrifice.
Elijah ordered the killing of Baal’s prophets.
As a result of God’s sign many people worshipped Him.
