GO AGAIN SEVEN TIMES

1 Kings 18:43 
_And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. (KJV)_

One thing every Christian must not dream of is unbelief. We must have faith in our God in all things and at all times even if what we are expecting from Him seems delaying. Faith is strong and active to the extend that she more frequently beseeches her God. She (faith) keeps dreaming of her unachieved goal again and again. Actively, she goes again and again.

Like faith, we must go again and again until our goal is achieved. We are not to give up when we live by Faith. Actually, prayer is faith. When a Christian prays, he or she formally declares to God: "I have realized that you exist. I believe that you hear my request and that you will answer me." When Elijah was praying for rain after three and half years of no rain, he prayed persistently. He received no sign of an answer after six consecutive times of prayer. However, he prayed again. He told his servant "go again seven times". The seventh time, there was a sign of a rain and there came a heavy rainfall.

Beloved, Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed persistently (again and again), there was an answer. If his believing action availed much, why not yours? "Go again". Although, you may have prayed or acted day after day, and year after year with no evidence of success, know that God will not turn His back on your earnestness in a matter which will bring glory to His name. Besides, the Lord may delay answering, but His delays always have good reasons. Learn to wait. The Lord has promised; asked and it shall be given unto you. So "go again seven times" and it shall be well with you according to your desire.

🔔REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAITH, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD.
