    In the race, it doesn't matter how long it takes to finish but what is important is that you continue. Never ever get tired and avoid getting burn out. It is when you lose the passion to run even you are still in a race.

( Losing the Fire that Once you have ) 1 KINGS 19:1-9 Prophet Elijah displayed the Power of God and Triumphed to almost 450 false prophets of Baal by burning the sacrifice through the Fire fell from heaven after he prayed to God.
