THEME: DOUBLE PORTION
2 Kings 2:9 NIV
“When they had crossed, 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.”
INSIGHT
–The idea of a double portion in the Bible is one of a double blessing. Elisha requests of Elijah one last thing, a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. When Elisha first made his request, Elijah answered, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it shall be so for you, but if you do not see me, it shall not be so” (2 Kings 2:10). After Elisha watched Elijah taken up to heaven, he picked up Elijah’s cloak. Returning to the Jordan River, he called out to the Lord and struck the water with the cloak. The water opened up, and Elisha walked across on dry ground. This act affirmed the transition of the prophetic office from Elijah to Elisha as well as the fulfillment of Elisha’s request. Scripture records exactly twice as many miracles through Elisha (28 miracles) as took place through Elijah (14 miracles). Let us ask God for a double portion in the calling, giftings, ministries, purposes that He called us to do.
PRAYER
Almighty Heavenly Father, we approach Your throne of mercy and grace today with humble adoration and exaltation unto You for there is none like You. We repent for the times we have not pleased You and have sinned against You that You may forgive us and wash us with Your precious blood. May You grant us a double portion of the things we desire most in our hearts according to Your divine purposes. Like You blessed Elisha with a double portion, may You annoint us afresh Holy Spirit and deposit a double portion in our spirits. We desire to do more and move to the next level in our lives, purposes, work, ministries, families, leadership and nation dear Jesus. May You make us extremely fruitful dear Jesus, help us to multiply a hundred fold in the name of Jesus Christ. May You hand be upon us to guide us this week and open every closed door for the glory and honor of Your name. Amen
