The Elisha Generation

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Near the end of Elijah’s time on earth, he offered his assistant Elisha a gift: “What can I do for you before I am taken from you?”

Elisha answered, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me” – 2nd Kings 2:9.  Elisha’s request was to be considered the successor of Elijah and to be “doubly blessed” with power in the prophetic office.

Through-out 2nd Kings, the many miracles Elisha per-formed confirm that he had indeed been grant-ed a double portion. In the whole of the Bible, specific references are made to a “double portion.”

When someone receives a double portion, it means he gets a gift twice as much as that given to others. Elisha received a double portion from Elijah.  Many people pray like Elisha, "Lord, give me a double portion of your anointing." Yet they do not realize the preparation that is involved for such a miraculous thing to occur. 

The Elisha Generation is the generation of believers who desire, seek, receive and walk in the double anointing. They are faithful, dependable, humble, respectful and know how to serve. Elisha knew how to serve.

Do you want the double portion anointing? Get involved in church or a ministry and start serving. When you serve you are sowing your life as seed for an anointing that one day, sooner than later, will be yours. Glory Hallelujah!

You will have good success this 2017. 

Remain blessed. Shalom.
