The Persistency of Elijah’s prayer
Playback speed
When the prophet Elijah prayed according to the word of God concerning the coming rain, the rain didn’t come immediately. God always answers prayer, but He does in His own appointed time. Elijah persisted in that he sent his servant seven times to see if there was rain and it was the seventh time the rain came upon the land.

Elijah a man of prayer
As a man of prayer the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. The hand of the Lord upon Elijah symbolised the power of God resting on his life for service. The believer who spends time in prayer will know the hand of God upon their live and the believer who knows the hand of God on life is the result of praying.
Elijah was a Spirit filled Believer
The hand of the Lord was upon Elijah for service because he was a spirit filled believer. Every born again believer must be filled with the Holy Spirit to service God and be a blessing to others.
Elijah is Discouraged
Elijah ran to Jezreel with the hope that the victory on Mt Carmel where God revealed Himself to be the only true and living God and exposing Baal as a false god, Elijah thought Abah and Jezebel would repent from sin, but instead their hearts seemed more harder than ever, and they demanded Elijah’s life. Elijah was discouraged. Likewise believer we can become discouraged because we don’t see the results in people lives that we thought would be there when hearing the gospel, but remain faithful.
