     | 6,188 views

    Life is more than a destination, life is about the journey. Let us follow Elijah to see the journey to receiving the Mantle of God. Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, Jordan.

    The Succession Of Elisha.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,477 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

    My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. 21 Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.22 When you walk, they[d] will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you

    As you spend a life walking with God, serving God and trusting His power; your exit should experience God’s favor and God’s reputation.

    A. ELIJAH ON HIS WAY TO MEET GOD: 2 KINGS 2:1-10 1. About to finish. “The LORD was about to take Elijah to heaven” (v. 1): a. Everyone seemed to know (vv. 3, 5, 7). b. Many will see (2:15). c. Some did not think Elijah went to heaven, but to a mountain (vv. 16-18). 2. Note the progression ...read more

    Why did Elisha insist (3 times) to go with Elijah to his fiery chariot ride... but all of the "sons of the Prophets" insisted on standing some distance away?

    (I opened the sermon by leading the congregation in an old hymn called "If Jesus Goes With Me I'll Go Anywhere". And then ended the sermon by singing the first verse and chorus with them again). In 1936, a 17 year old Bob Feller became a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, and he ...read more

    The proper way to respond to God when He is calling you to serve Him.

    EMBRACING GOD’S CALL 1 Kings 19:19-21; 2 Kings 2:1-25 What will you do with your life? That’s a mind-blowing question. As a graduating senior, it is like a freight train coming at you in a tunnel. Don’t fret, though, because it’s good practice for you. It seems I’ve spent most of my life in ...read more

     | 13,023 views

    The prophet Elijah passed his mantle to Elisha. We are, as disciples, called to leave a legacy for those who come after us. What legacy are we leaving?

    What an amazing story we read as we conclude The Elijah Chronicles. We’ve followed our hero through great and challenging times and some even greater miracles. We’ve also reflected on a time that life got the best of him. Through it all, by God’s grace, Elijah was able to overcome ...read more

    The Double-Anointing

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 7, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,560 views

    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

    Vision 2018: Reviving The Days Of Elijah

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 816 views

    What needs to be revived (facilitated) are MIRACLES, DOUBLE-ANOINTING and THE HARVEST. You and I have a major role to play.

    Opening illustration/video. Introduction: Abraham Heschel once wrote, “To be a prophet is both a distinction and an affliction.” Elijah was no exception. Few prophets in Scripture have provoked as many ministers, challenged as many evangelists and inspired as many prophets as Elijah. This man from ...read more

    Elijah's Last Words Before He Left This Earth Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 31, 2024
     | 1,801 views

    Elijah received word from the LORD that it was time for him to go to Heaven. This message speaks of Elijah's last words before he took that journey to Heaven.

    Introduction: Elijah was one of only two humans to ever leave this earth without dying. The only other was Enoch, who “. . . walked with God: and he was not; for God took him (Genesis 5:24, KJV)”. Full disclosure, I believe in the pre-tribulation rapture position, meaning, that according to 1 ...read more

    The Double Portion

    Contributed by Perry James on Nov 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,101 views

    There is so much that we can draw from the lives of Elijah and Elisha. I think something that is echoed throughout is how we need to be ready to work for God as Christians. We reap what we sow, and I believe these 2 men lived that out.

    *(I do want to add at the beginning here, I did not read all of the scriptures that are in this, I just like to list my references in my notes so that I can better go over the story with the congregation. I also shortened some of the stories as needed.)* Hello, how is everyone? I have been ...read more

    We're here to delve into the book of 2 Kings, specifically chapter 2, verses 1-15. But before we do, I'd like to share a quote from the great Christian author and preacher, Charles Spurgeon, who once said, "Visit many good books, but live in the Bible."

    To go forward means to proceed or continue. My prayer for you is that you will successfully put to use all the tools that the Lord has given you to go forward and reach your destination in life, in Jesus’ name.

    Every goal in life is ahead of us, and we need to go forward to reach, attain, or obtain it. Remember the word of God affirms that God’s divine power has given us everything that pertains to life … (2 Peter 1:3). Now, let’s see how Prophet Elisha depicts how to go forward in life: Elisha (2 Kings ...read more

     | 631 views

    The journey from Gilgal to the Jordan teaches us that mantles are not caught by chance but by choice. God is not looking for the nearest person — He is looking for the most faithful one.

    THE MANTLE AND THE MISSION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 2:1-15 Supporting Texts: Numbers 27:18-23; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; John 14:12; 2 Timothy 2:2 INTRODUCTION: The story of Elijah’s departure from earth is one of the most iconic transitions of leadership in the Bible.
