TOPIC: STEPS TO DOUBLE PORTION 1: Identify Your Elijah.
MEMORY VERSE:
Is. 61:7
“7 Instead Of Your Shame You Shall Have Double Honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.”
BIBLE READING:
2 Kings 19:19-21
“19 So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him.20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?”
21 So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then He Arose And Followed Elijah, And Became His Servant.”
God has predestined our lives to enjoy the Grace of some special people around us, that without us coming in contact with such people we may never reach our fulfillment in life. This connection mostly come in form of service. Leading the Israelite was more easier for Joshua than it was for Moses, but Joshua served under Moses. During Moses’ time, there were many confrontation with him by the Israelite but during Joshua dispensation they put their selves under an oath to serve Joshua wholeheartedly, Josh. 1:18. When you identify your Elijah, you are on your way to Double Portion, may we never miss our destined double portion in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Elisha was able to recognize Elijah when he came his way. Elijah only threw his mantle on Elisha without delivering any message from God and He came begging that Elijah should wait for him to bid his family good bye and he followed Elijah. Have you recognized your Elijah? Hope you are not among those who criticizes their Elijah and miss their portion for life? Who are you called to serve? Who are you serving? Many wants to be served but run from serving their Elijah. Locate your Elijah and cleave to him/her, there lies your double portion, may He open your eye to identify your Elijah in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
