1Ki 18:42-44 And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.”Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.’ ”
After God accepted Elijah’s prayer by answering with fire, Elijah went up higher at Mt Carmel to prepare for the rains . He strategically positioned himself.. he bowed down on the ground and put his face between his knees . ( He bowed his head so low that it touched the knees).
Elijah ordered his servant to go and bring him notice as soon as he saw a cloud arising out of the sea. For six times his servant went checking and brought no good news to his master . Despite the negative report, Elijah did not give up but continued praying fervently , believing and trusting God for the rains.
But on the seventh time, a little cloud, no bigger than a man’s hand appeared . Elijah sent an argent message to king Ahab to leave at once before he was overtaken by the rains. And the clouds overspread the heavens and watered the earth. Dear saint, the cloud is forming. Great blessings often arise from small beginnings. Do not give up! Showers of blessings are coming!
Eze 34:26 “I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.
