1Ki 18:45 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.
1 Kings 18:46 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.
In life , what differentiates people from their counterparts is the kind of grace bestowed on them. Anointing makes the difference in the lives of people. It is the anointing that singles you out for breakthroughs, releases favour and excellence upon your efforts and makes things easy for you when others are struggling.
To overtake is to go past other people who may be smarter than you. Literary speaking, king Ahab had left the mountain earlier and was riding on the kings chariots. Elijah warned him on the heavy rains that would pound the land in a short while. However Elijah tarried on the mountain to pray for the rains. When the clouds formed, Elijah supernaturally left the mountain and overtook Ahab’s chariots in the storm.
Sometimes we work so hard and achieve so little. In some cases we stagnate at one level for so long and it appears as if our fate has already been sealed . Fear not, things are changing; there is a shift in the atmosphere. God is releasing an anointing that is going to cause blessings to overtake you. Deu 28:2 “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God.. You will be the envy of those who were previously ahead of you.
