    Venture And Capture

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 8, 2013
     | 2,855 views

    Friend, it is one thing to ask God what we want, but it is gorgeous when He looks at you and asks you what you want? Staggering!

    Venture & capture! 2 King 2:9 “……when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." Friend, it is one thing to ask God what we want, but it ...read more

    Passing on the mantle: issues of succession in the church.

    THE ASCENSION OF ELIJAH. 2 Kings 2:1-12. I. ASCENSION The taking up of Elijah by the LORD prefigures the ascension of the Lord Jesus, and anticipates our own meeting with Jesus in the air. 1. Elijah’s ascension was attended by horses and chariots. As Elisha and the sons of the prophets ...read more

    Luke in his account of the Ascension draws the listener to remember the story of Elijah’s Ascension. Pentecost is the day the church received the Mantle of the Spirit as Elisha received Elijah’s Mantle.

    The Mantle I (Copyright: Rev. Bill Versteeg 2008) The disciples had been arrested by miracles. First there was the crucifixion, an offering offered in righteousness and purity, even the Roman Centurion had to admit that this crucified one was “the Son of God.” But many doubted. Thomas, one of ...read more

    The Double-Anointing

    How did Elisha receive the double portion? He asked for it. He was totally focused, committed and sold out to it. And, he received it! How bad do you want it? Where are you in your spiritual journey today? Are you hard after God?

    Opening illustration: In 1937, missionaries were forced to leave southern Ethiopia because of World War II. They had reached the remote area of Wolayto only in 1928. Nine years later, there were only 48 converts, and they experienced brutal persecution because of their faith. Tears flowed on both ...read more

    Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus. If I bet money, I’d lay odds that anyone age 65 or older in 2022 can at least give a general outline of the life of Christ, even if he or she didn’t think ...read more

    The Prophecy In The Upper Room, Part 2

     | 1,223 views

    The Lord Jesus gave a promise to His disciples and those who would come to Him for salvation that He would return for them (John 14:1-3). These verses are considered to be His teaching on the "Rapture". Are we correct in this interpretation? We will look at the evidence.

    On the night before He was to undergo the trial of the crucifixion and the redemptive work it ensued on behalf of fallen humanity, Jesus had given the disciples the assurance that even though He would soon leave them, He also promised that He would return and "receive you to Myself, that ...read more

    The Succession Of Elisha.

     | 2,394 views

    With the dramatic departure of Elijah, his servant Elisha calmly took up the mantle. The Holy Spirit ensures continuity in ministry.

    THE SUCCESSION OF ELISHA. 2 Kings 2:1-2; 2 Kings 2:6-14. 1. The main theme of 2 Kings 2:1-14 is not so much the whirlwind, which is only cursorily mentioned (2 Kings 2:1), but rather the matter of succession. Nicely poised between the end of the reign of one king (2 Kings 1:17-18), and the ...read more

     | 1,403 views

    In the previous sermon we talked about Elijah, who was Elisha’s predecessor.

    We learned that Elisha followed Elijah everywhere he went. Elisha followed Elijah from Gilgal to Beth-el, to Jericho, to Jordan. Elijah asked Elisha to “Tarry here...” three times, but every time Elisha would say, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Elijah, ...read more

    As I read through this passage, it appears that Elijah is testing Elisha.

    Look at verse 2. He said to Elisha, “...Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el...” But notice Elisha’s response in that same verse, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Then look at verse 4. Elijah seems to test Elisha again. He ...read more

    Let’s not be the hindrance to someone not advancing in what God has called them to do. Let’s be encouragers and take the time to mentor others so that they can be the leaders of tomorrow.

    We have been involved in the prophet Elijah's life for some time now. We've been talking about living outside our comfort zone by serving God in different ways. We have discussed serving God with courage, serving God with trust, serving God through our prayers, serving God with our ...read more
