In the book of 1Kings18:41, Elijah said unto Ahab,
Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. It was a
time that Israel was going through drought for over a period of three years in
a row. Crops were not germinating. Thirst was not uncommon. Rivers dried up.
Then suddenly, a man came and said that he heard the abundance of rain.
“C’mon Mr. Man, no lightning, no thunder, no
slightest sign of rain in the skyline and you are here saying you hear the
abundance of rain. Come off it.” Someone would have said. A lot of us are moved
by sight which is why they can never receive what the ordinary eyes cannot see.
I love what Ahab the king did, despite the fact that he didn’t see the
gathering of the cloud or lightning, he went ahead to eat and drink in
expectation of abundant rain.
Maybe the angel in charge of rain was off duty on
the day the man of God spoke that word, but because Ahab took that step of
faith, the angel had to quickly resume for duty. Bible says there was no small
rain, but a heavy one. That there’s economic depression does not mean you
cannot prosper; after all, the promise for you is that while others are saying
there’s a casting down, you shall be saying there is a lifting up.
Faith plays down the physical sense and embraces the
supernatural – the word of God. For the supernatural to take place, the natural
needs to be done away with. I tell people that sometimes and most of the times,
faith doesn’t make sense because it sees the end of a matter from the
beginning. It is just like a woman with no womb buying baby things, if she
would not doubt in her mind, I tell you she would have her heart desire.
Always remember that to activate your miracle,
activate your faith.
