According to the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary, rain is the water that falls from the sky in separate drops but it's a known fact that most rains are usually preceded by the gathering of cloud which sometimes serves as an indicator to how intense or otherwise the rain could fall. Growing up as a child, I remember how excited I used to be whenever the cloud of rains gathered so heavily as I saw it as an opportunity to escape trekking long distance in search of water, I remember how I will quickly gather all the drums and buckets in anticipation for the rain considering how heavy the cloud has gathered, however, my excitement sometimes ends abruptly as the heavy cloud suddenly disappears and the rain refusing to fall.
Rain in the spiritual realm represents God's glorious heavenly downpour of grace, mercy and favour which in my opinion remains the platform upon which every other miracle stands. Just like, what happens in the physical when the cloud will gather only to suddenly disappear without the rains falling, so it is in the spiritual realm when the cloud of miracles gathers and the hopes of the expectant high that at last the rains are set to fall only to be disappointed as the cloud fades away and the life challenges remains.
I have consistently maintained that our society in this part of the world is full of wickedness at every level, be it in the family, place of work, neighbourhood, school and church among other places, just pick up the newspapers or put on your radio or television and you will be shocked with the stories you read and hear and the surprising thing is that there are more churches everywhere now but high level wickedness are on the increase with siblings waging war against themselves with diabolical powers, you now find evil minded neighbours attacking their fellow neighbours with witchcraft and envious and jealous colleagues now plots the death of their colleagues for the sake of posts or positions and the most worrisome of them all is in the church where some pastors will take to character assassination and poisoning of their copastors all for position.
