Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

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

Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

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

Go Forward

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jun 24, 2025

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

The Mantle Must Not Fall To The Ground Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 17, 2025

The Mantle Is Yours

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 7, 2025

God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at Gilgal, seek at Bethel, persevere through Jericho, and cross Jordan transformed.

Every culture understands the power of symbolic clothing. When a judge puts on the black robe, authority follows. When a graduate steps across the stage in cap and gown, years of learning find recognition. When a soldier fastens the uniform, identity and duty intertwine. The Bible also speaks of ...read more

A Double Portion

Contributed by Ava Ch on Aug 26, 2025

we reflect on the story of Elijah and Elisha, we are reminded that God's Spirit is not confined to the past. It is being poured out now.

Last week, we saw Elijah at one of his lowest points. Fresh off the victory over Baal’s prophets on Mount Carmel, he spiraled into fear and despair. He ran from Jezebel, collapsed under a broom tree, and told God, “I have had enough... I alone am left.” Elijah’s ego—his belief that he was the last ...read more

Elijah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Feb 10, 2023

Elijah was a mighty man of God. He stood like a stone wall against idolatry, and he was not afraid to speak truth to power or tell the people what they needed to hear.

February 11, 2023 The bible tells us Elijah was from the town of Tishbe, but we don’t anything about his background or who his parents were. His name means, “Yahweh is my God,” and he certainly lived up to his name, standing in sharp contrast against the idolatry of the day. His primary ...read more

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
