From Our Pastor's Desk
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 received a double portion from Elijah. Elisha received because of his faithfulness, amongst other virtues. Even though Elijah and the sons of the prophets both seemed to try to dissuade Elisha from following, he was faithful.
He was not going to be dissuaded. A faithful Christian will not be pulled away from serving the Lord by a whim or by some unimportant, irrelevant, trivial reason. A lot of people are simply sitting, waiting for something to fall out of Heaven.
You need to commit to a good local church and do your part to help make it a great church. Join up and then show up!
2 Timothy 2:2 – “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also” 1 Corinthians 4:2 – “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” 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 will be yours.
For all of your faithfulness & commitment as a steward, the Lord grant you double portion of all Heaven has to offer, in Jesus Name. AMEN.
You will have good success this 2019.
Remain blessed.
Shalom
