And Elijah said to his servant, "Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea." And he went up, and after looking said, "There is nothing." And Elijah said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times. I Kings 18:43
Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible. Make it your lifestyle to see the impossible. Your current situation is temporary. Don't think it will never change. It will change. No season of your life is permanent. Even this bad season of your life will pass away. It is not permanent. Elijah wanted his servant to wait there to see the cloud. But before he could actually see the cloud, Elijah wanted his servant to see it by Faith eyes. If he would have seen it by faith eyes, then he would have waited till it actually happened. But Elijah's servant actually missed on applying faith. He believed its impossible for the cloud to come now. He might have thought that it was cloudless for 3 years, it didn't rain for so many years, then how will change come now. Are you also thinking the same, "So many years it didn't happen, how will it happen now." If you are thinking like this, then your thoughts are wrong. Don't have the servant faith, but have Elijah's faith, a king's faith.
A kings faith is an authoritative faith to get results. Servant faith is poor faith, giving up faith and not seeing results. Elijah's servant lived a defeated life. Hence he never expected any change to happen in his life. He had adjusted and compromised with his situations. If you are living under your circumstances and living like the servant of Elijah, I would like to encourage you to have faith and overcome your situation. Live like Elijah and not like his servant. Don't give up till you see your situation change.
Recently I bought a new DVD and tried it, but it never played. So I replaced it. Tried a new one, but it didn't work. Other DVD worked, but this new one didn't work. I tried this, my family members tried it but it didn't work. I had something important to do and hence I said, " Its ok, I will do it next time. But this word of God came to me and I said, by prayer I will get this result." You will think how is it possible. I prayed like Elijah and commanded the DVD and DVD player to work. I did this for half hour but it didn't happen. Then I decided that I will not get up till I see this work. I prayed again and commanded it to work, in Jesus' name. It started working. When I decided that I will not move till I see the result, I got it immediately. This might happen with you too. Don't move from your place like Elijah till you see your prayers answered. God bless you.
