For ova 3yrs,dere had been no rain.Suddenly,Elijah emerged nd said he heard d sound of much rain.Dis ultimately led 2 a turnaround.We ought 2 learn some lessons 4rm dis story. "And Elijah said unto Ahab,Get thee up,eat and drink;for there is a sound of abundance of rain"1Kings 18:41. In d midst of so much famine nd dryness,d man of God heard d inaudible.Amos 3:7 says b4 God does anything,He would 1st reveal it 2 @ least one of His prophets.Revelation 2:7 says d Spirit is saying sumtin bt it wil take only dose who hav spiritual ears 2 hear d divine message.Dis shows dat in d unpleasant situation u re goin tru,God is sayin sumtin.Hav u heard wat God is sayin? Concernin dat situation of joblessness,God is sayin sumtin.Concernin dat need 4 a spouse,God is sayin sumtin.Concernin dat state of famine or financial dryness,God is sayin sumtin.But hav u heard wat d Spirit is sayin 2 u abt dat situation? B4 u knw d next tin 2 do,1st knw wat He is saying. In addition,afta d man of God heard sumtin,he spoke it out - dat is,he announced it or prophesied abt it even wen d situation appeared bleak.D best time 2 prophesy or announce wat God has spoken 2 u concernin a situation is wen it is still hopeless,helpless nd bleak.In Genesis 1:1-3,it was in d midst of chaos,emptiness nd darkness dat God spoke.Wat re u sayin in dat situation of repeated disappointment? Stop confessing negative tins,bt start speakin God's word into ur negative situation.As u speak His word or promise into ur dark situation,God's light is released nd as u continue 2 prophesy d word,d light of God continues 2 spread in dat situation until it completely takes ova d situation,leavin u wit notin bt a testimony. Confess God's word into ur situation 4rm today.
