No prayer- no power

1 Kings 18:41-46

1. How did Elijah show perseverance?

Elijah asked Ahab to look towards the sea for rain but for seven times, there was nothing.

Elijah persevered and during the seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." The sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on. The power of the LORD came upon Elijah.

2 Kings 13:14-19

2. What would result from Jehoash giving up too quickly?

When Elisha told king Jehoash, "Strike the ground.", Jehoash struck it three times and stopped. The man of God was angry with him and said, "You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times."
