Today's Reading: 2 Kings 2
Have
you ever asked for a double portion of pie à la mode? I sure have! Today,
however, we see Elisha asking for a double portion of something way more
substantial and life-changing: God's supernatural empowerment.
As
we delve into 2 Kings 2, we witness a remarkable exchange between Elijah and
his successor, Elisha. Picture this: they're crossing the Jordan River, having
a deep conversation about life, miracles, and the best places to grab a falafel
in Samaria. In this pivotal moment, Elijah offers Elisha the chance to request
anything before his heavenly departure.
Elisha
seizes the opportunity, but instead of asking for a new set of donkey wheels or
a cloak that never wrinkles or a double portion of fig pudding, he asks for a
double portion of Elijah's spirit, referring to the spiritual anointing and
power of the Lord. It was God’s anointing and power that Elisha had witnessed
upon Elijah’s life on many occasions, and he longed for the same.
Elisha
recognized that the work ahead of him required a supernatural touch. He
understood that to carry on Elijah's mission, he needed a double dose of divine
mojo. And the same goes for us today! In our walk with God, we shouldn't settle
for a spiritual happy meal; let's hunger for a supersized, extravagant,
excessive, extreme anointing!
Let
me encourage you, my brothers and sisters, to follow in Elisha's footsteps.
Don't be content with a meager portion of God's Spirit. Ask for more! Seek His
power, His guidance, and His presence in your life. God is not stingy with His
blessings; He longs to pour out His Spirit on those who earnestly seek Him.
Are
you a seeker of the double portion? If so, then let’s boldly approach the
throne of grace. Let's ask, seek, and knock, trusting that our heavenly Father
delights in giving good gifts to His children. Get ready for a supersized
anointing, and enjoy your double dose of diving mojo! After all, God's
blessings are so good, they're way better than pie à la mode!
