When Jezebel hear what happen to the Baal prophet dem, she wor too vex. She send message to Elijah and say: ‘Tomorrow, you will die just like the Baal prophet dem.’ Elijah wor too scare. So he run away and go in the desert. He pray to Jehovah and say: ‘Jehovah, I can’t make it again. Let me just die.’ He wor too tire. So he started sleeping under one tree.

One angel touch him and tell him say: ‘Wake up and eat.’ Elijah see one round bread on the hot rock, and one water jar. He eat, drink and go back to sleep. The angel wake him up again and say: ‘Eat. You need strength for your journey.’ So Elijah eat again. Then he travel for 40 days and 40 nights, until he reach Mount Horeb. Then he go in one cave to sleep. But Jehovah ask him: ‘Elijah, wetin you doing here?’ Then Elijah say: ‘The Israelite dem na break their promise they make to you. They destroy your altars and kill your prophet dem. Now they trying to kill me too.’

Jehovah tell him say: ‘Go and stand on the mountain.’ First, one powerful breeze started blowing. Next, earthquake happen, and then fire. Finally, Elijah hear one calm, low voice. He cover his face with his coat and stand outside the cave. Then Jehovah ask him why he run away. Elijah say: ‘That only me remain.’ But Jehovah tell him say: ‘You not alone. 7,000 people in Israel still worshiping me. Go and appoint Elisha to be prophet to take your place.’ Right away, Elijah go do what Jehovah say. You think Jehovah will also help you when you do what he say? Yes, he will help you. Let see what happen the time no rain wor falling.
