God desires to speak with us and He is always speaking. God speaks with us in ways that He knows we would understand. When we know without any doubt that He has spoken, this stirs up faith in us and we usually expect an instant miracle.

What do you do…
– When you know that you have heard God about a situation and nothing seems to be happening?
-When you have heard Him clearly that you would be a parent, yet nothing seems to have manifested?
-When He woke you up to say that He has just healed you, yet the doctor’s report says something contrary?
-When a prophetic word has been given about your promotion and you are still in the same job?
-When He has told you that you will pass your examination and you have repeatedly failed?
-When you heard him clearly about the choice of your spouse before marriage but the marriage seems to be heading towards a divorce?
-When He told you that you will get married this year and you are not even in a relationship yet?

Elijah, one of the great prophets of the old testament was in this situation in his walk with God. The bible describes Him as a man with a nature like ours (James 5:17).
How did Elijah survive under similar situations without renouncing his faith?

In 1 Kings 17:9, God commanded him to go and He promised him food. He said He had instructed the widow to provide for him. In this situation, Elijah might have expected the widow’s house to already be full of enough food.
1 Kings 17:12 – the widow did not have enough food. Not even for her family. This might have been very disappointing. Elijah, however refused to be disappointed. He chose to believe what God had said about the widow providing for him. This must have stirred up faith in him regardless of what he saw in the physical.
He took the next step in 1 king 17:13-16. Elijah commanded the miracle. He knew that if God has promised then He is true to His word.

If you are sure you have heard Him, stand on His words and refuse to be disappointed by the delays you may be facing. Rather, command the miracle. You can command the miracle by your persistent prayers, obedience, positive confession and unwavering faith.
God wants you to command Him concerning the works of His hands (Isaiah 45:11). Also remember that He is not slack concerning His promise (2 Peter 3:9(a)).
