Summary

In “I Hate It Up Here,” Pastor Robert Madu shares a powerful message about two mountaintop experiences of Elijah—one where God revealed Himself in fire, and another where He came gently in a whisper. Elijah had just witnessed an incredible move of God, yet soon after, he found himself in deep despair. He was hungry, alone, tired, and empty. What do we do when the weight of success feels heavier than the weight of failure? At his breaking point, God invited Elijah to Mount Horeb to rest in His presence. At our lowest moments, God reminds us that He is not only the God who comes by fire—He is also the gentle whisper of peace, close enough to revive us again.
