About Elihu
Who is Elihu?
Elihu can be found in the Old Testament in the book of Job. His name means "He remains my God and does not change". More importantly is what this man represents. Job is in a tough spot. He has lost his possessions, his family, and his health indeed for Job these are the worst of the worst times. As Job's friends attempt to correct and comfort him, his sorrow continues; yet a man stands in the shadows watching the situation unfold the entire time. There comes a point when Elihu has simply had enough. Elihu rightly delivers the word of God to Job and.
Before Elihu opens his dialog with Job he is not mentioned, he's been overlooked. It is when Elihu rises from his seat makes a stand he is noticed. It is his stand which will ultimately bring Job into unity with God. It is the of the young adult ministry "To enable the young adults to rise up and stand, united to affect their community, paving the way for the generations that follow". It is through the fulfillment of this vision that this generation may find and grow in God's calling for them.
Much like in the book of Job we live in a world where things are getting worse and worse. It is past time for this generation to get on the front lines of the battle. A God is looking for those who are ready to come out from the shadows.
