A Sound Of Abundance
“Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.” So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “ There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.”
Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.’ ” Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. Then the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.”
I Kings 18:41-46 NKJV
What sound are you hearing?

Yes, we are in a pandemic and COVID-19 is still hovering around seeking whom it may devour, but our Almighty God is still on His throne and continuously doing mighty things and mind boggling miracles.
The servant came back and told Elijah, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.”
Why seven times? Why not more than seven or less than seven times?
According to the Bible, seven is a number of completeness and perfection, and l believe that God was using that period to perfect the sight of Elijah’s servant, so he can see and hear what God had already revealed to His servant Elijah.
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”
Amos 3:7 NKJV
The servant of Elijah never gave up on himself and the instructions of Elijah, as he kept going as he’s been instructed by Elijah.
This season, you must look for people who will not easily give up on you and themselves just because they cannot see and understand your purpose.
How many times have you applied for that position, or pursue that special dream that you have been praying and hoping to achieve?
Go again and again!
God will perfect all that concerns you at the appropriate time, but you have to be willing to listen to His voice and guidance.
Go Again!
The hand of the Lord will come upon you, and you will run faster and He will make you the head and not the tail.
Yes, 2021 is our Year of Birthing and we will birth everything that God has deposited in us for His glory.
I hear the sound of abundance of rain.
Your season of drought is over!
