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.

⁴⁴ And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not.

MFM Daily Devotional 4 March 2024 MESSAGE

Yesterday, we emphasized that every believer needs to demonstrate persistent faith. Some battles will not be won and some problems will not be solved unless you demonstrate persistent and rock-life faith — one that continues to believe God in the face of trials and temptations that span a long time. We added that such was the kind of faith that Abraham and Sarah exhibited before they got Isaac. It was the kind of faith that got Samuel for Hannah. It is the kind of faith you need today.

Beloved, the devil knows that your victory is tied to your unwavering and persistent faith. That is why he attacks the believer’s faith. He did it to the patriarchs, Jesus, Peter and Paul, among others. On one occasion, Jesus told Peter that the enemy wanted his faith to fail (Luke 22:31-32) so as to truncate his ministry and destiny as well as the glorious things the Lord used him for later in his life. Thank God that Jesus prayed for Peter and aborted the devil’s agenda. Dear reader, no matter what the enemy brings your way, don’t allow your faith to fail or waver. Keep on believing our all-powerful and ever-faithful God. He still answers prayers; trust his timing also and He will come through for you, in Jesus’ name.

Do not give up on your dream or vision. Do not lose faith. The faith that fails never produces good results. Keep on believing. Elijah prayed for the rain that God had promised. He prayed with precision and with passion, but the answer did not come straight away. He sent his servant to look toward the sea for a sign of rain. At the seventh time, the servant saw a little cloud the size of a man’s hand. Rain eventually fell after seven years of drought. Praying seven times indicates persistence in Elijah’s faith (1 Kings 18:41-44).

Though anointed, David did not get to the throne for several years. As he went through tests and trials, he kept believing God and He made good His promise to him in due time. Similarly, Joseph got the dream of his colorful destiny from God as a teenager; yet, for over a decade, he went through trials before God intervened and fulfilled his dream in grand style
