A Small Cloud in your life
Will you please meditate on I Kings 18:41-48? The Lord has a message for you. In the days of Elijah, the prophet and Ahab, the King of Israel, there was a drought in the land of Israel. Similarly, you may be facing a spiritual drought in your life or ministry. “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain”, Elijah tells Ahab. Ahab, accordingly, went up to eat and drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, bowed down on the ground and put his face between his knees. Elijah said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea”. Then it came to pass the SEVENTH TIME that the servant said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea”. So Elijah said, “Go up, say to Ahab, “Prepare your chariot and go down before the rain stops you”. Now it happened, in the mean time that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. Dear child of God, you would have sought the intercessory prayers of some minister of God for a miracle in your life. Since you have experienced no miracle, you have now become disheartened. Six times you have seen “nothing”.
Now the SEVENTH TIME has arrived in your life, and you are hearing a small voice “Go again”. As you read this message, you can see “a small cloud, as small as a man’s hand” in your life as you read my message today. You can now see a little evidence of the ensuing great blessing upon your life. With this small cloud, you should now trust God and be happy. There will be a sudden outpouring of His blessing in your life. Dear minister of God, there will be a great outpouring of His anointing on your ministry in a manner never imagined by you. The God of Elijah is alive today to perform the same miracle for you. Amen.
