1 Kings 18:41-46 NLT
41
Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a
mighty rainstorm coming!”
May
this new month mark the beginning of unending laughter and unstoppable
celebration.
(Jeremiah 30:19, Psalm 126:1-3)
42
So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel
and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.
There
is a price for the prize.
In warring with prophecy, we P.U.S.H to B.I.R.T.H
(1 Timothy 1:18, Hebrews 6:10-12)
43
Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.” The servant went
and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.” Seven
times Elijah told him to go and look.
That
it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
Significant delays often precede significant deliveries.
(Habakkuk 2:3, Ecclesiastes 3:11)
44
Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the
size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.” Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab
and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry,
the rain will stop you!’”
We seek until we find. Those who can see it, can seize it.
Until you start seeing it, don't stop saying it.
(Genesis 13:14-15, Jeremiah 1:11-12, Proverbs 18:20-21, Numbers 14:28)
45
And soon the sky was black with clouds. a heavy wind brought a terrific
rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. 46 Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.
1 Kings 18:45-46 NLT
The second half of a football game usually comes with several instructions and a game plan.
Those who do not take responsibility to obey instructions given, become a liability to the team.
May our lives be effulgent as we take ordered steps in the direction of glory this month onwards.
May this second and better half of 2019, bring about RECOVERY and RESTORATION of all that has been lost.
May every process of favor and blessing initiated, be perfected and manifested in this season.
(I Samuel 30:8, 18-19)

DATE WITH A STRANGER
He
must have looked out that window a dozen times since I observed him about five
minutes ago. Almost every time someone walked in, he seemed a little nervous … A
short while afterwards, a young lady walked in and he smiled like a little boy
as he took off his headphones and hood to wave at her. She…smiled and walked
towards his table. I wasn’t paying much attention until I heard him say… those words and I caught myself just
in time before putting down the paper I was reading to look again at the person
he was referring to.… she answered “do you remember your Sunday School
stories?”…he was as surprised as I was when he retorted “Sunday School?”. …Read more
AN EVENING TO REMEMBER
