Immediately Elijah finished showing God to people on the mount Carmel,he did not stopped there and be taking glory ,he returned the glory to God and went on praying for abundant of rain for same country.people of God ,your calling fire down is never enough move to solving of the people in your country,church ,world,family ,school,family and your friends.Remember Elijah did that...see Elijah's qualities in the place of prayer for abundant rain...
4 . IT WAS A PRAYER WHICH WAS DEFINITE AND TO THE POINT
See what Zechariah 10:1 says. This is exactly what Elijah did; he only had one petition as he came before the Lord – “Lord, send the rain! Send the rain! Send the rain!” In the Upper Room they prayed for only one thing - the coming of the promised Holy Spirit (Acts 1:13-14). When Peter was in prison the church prayed for only one thing - his deliverance (Acts 12:5). See also Luke 11:5 and 11-13. Definite, specific prayers bring definite, specific answers!
5 . IT WAS A PRAYER WHICH WAS INTENSE , EARNEST AND FERVENT
Notice the words powerful, effective and earnestly in James 5:16-18, and compare Hebrews 5:7. Elijah’s prayer was also accompanied by fasting - 1 Kings 18:41-42. He could quite legitimately have joined Ahab in taking food and drink, but he did not do so - look up Matthew 17:19-21. Do we know anything about fasting? Do we know what it is to sacrifice time, pleasures and legitimate things in order to ”pray through” and secure God’s blessing?
6 . IT WAS A PRAYER WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY WATCHFULNESS
Look up Colossians 4:2, and compare Psalm 130:5-6 - then read 1 Kings 18:43-45. When we really pray in faith we should already be looking for the answer; even if time and again the reply is, “There is nothing…” , we should go on praying and watching until the answer comes. Would his servant ever forget it? But this also reminds us of one other characteristic of Elijah’s prayer:
7 . IT WAS A PRAYER WHICH PERSEVERED UNTIL THE ANSWER CAME
Elijah said to his servant, ”Go again… again …again… seven times!” George Muller prayed for 52 years for two of his friends. How such perseverance shames us! - for notice, even Elijah’s prayer was not answered immediately - compare Genesis 32:26 with Psalm 40:1. Then we read: “Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on….” The kind of prayer which is described here and which God invites us to offer, is always answered abundantly - 1 Kings 18:45 “a heavy rain came on.”
Your calling fire down is never enough,there Christian move to solving the problem of your world,Be challenged...
Closing Thought: Mark 11:22-24.
