TOPIC: STEPS TO DOUBLE PORTION 5: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 29, Day 5: Thursday, 14 July, 2022. TOPIC: STEPS TO DOUBLE PORTION 5:

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.

13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the LORD God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.”

As long as you are with your Elijah, learn as much as possible how He/She does things. Every challenges have different solutions but some might need similar application. Elisha must have Learnt by hearing of how Elijah restore the Zarephath widow’s son, 1 Kings 17:19-22, so He applied it to the Shunamite woman’s case (when her only child died and the boy was restored to life, 2 Kings 4:32-35). Every act of your Elijah is a lesson you need to learn and ask questions while you still have him/her around.

When Elisha cross river Jordan with Elijah, he never thought of crossing over alone because he saw and assimilated how Elijah did part the river. When He came to the bank of the River alone he replicated what Elijah did with the mantle he had received, which made the sons of the prophet say, “The power of Elijah has rested upon Elisha. You need to learn how your Elijah does things, his life style, His principles, and How He communicates with God daily. Stop being just an errand person, learn the act of doing things and you will continue where He stop and achieve a double portion.

God Bless you and Good Morning.
