But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do.

And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus" (v. 29) NKJV      Many people have not been able to take their first step toward success because they are not sure if they will make it. They keep calculating and their calculation is not equal to success on paper. So, they are not willing to start.
