2 Kings 2:1-15
We are called to serve.
We are called to be Elijah’s.
We are called to train up the Elisha’s.
My life’s purpose is to see an empowered generation far exceed what my generation has ever dreamt possible.
It’s to invest everything I’ve got into a generation that’s hungry for MORE- Deeper love, stronger hope, greater purpose and most importantly God’s presence.
It’s to whet the appetite of a generation for the GREATER things {John 14:12} so that they’ll ask for a double portion, as Elisha did.
“Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.”
{2 Kings 2:9}
I long for a generation with such boldness.
The kind of boldness that asks for MORE, and not only asks for it but pursues it wholeheartedly.
When Elisha asked for a double portion, Elijah, his mentor, replies,
“You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours- otherwise not.”
{2 Kings 2:10}
Elisha was bold.
Elijah wise.
Elijah knew this was a great thing to ask yet wanted Elisha to be aware that it was not going to be easy.
Often we see people on stage and envy their “call” or their lifestyle, yet we have NO idea what it took them to get to that place.
Sacrifice.
Courage.
Discipline.
Pain.
Surrender.
Obedience.
Yet we want what they’ve got.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but rarely.
If you wanna live the FIRE you’re gonna have to WALK through the fire.
The price is high but the reward beyond measure.
Elijah’s it’s time to call the Elisha’s forth. It’s time to invest everything we’ve got into them so that when the time comes for us to move on, they are equipped and ready to run.
Elisha’s- serve. Elisha’s, don’t leave the side of your Elijah or you could miss the “cloak” left behind. Your time has come. Do not be afraid to follow. And be ready to grab hold of the mantle {cloak} when it is passed on to you.
Ignite your FAITH with the PASSION He’s placed inside you and GET READY!
Was Elisha sad to see his mentor taken up to heaven? Yes. But he chose to trust God and move forward.
“Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him {Elijah} and struck the water. “Where now is the LORD, God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.
The company of prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.”
{2 Kings 2:14-15}
Elijah’s pass it on.
Elisha’s grab it!
Activate your faith.
Hunger for the MORE.
Pursue the MORE.
And get ready because the GREATER is already being UNLEASHED!
