You Need An Elisha

Maxwell Ambani Indasio

2 Kings 2:2 And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

Prophet Elijah's ministry was a huge success in part because of the vital role Elisha played in his personal life and ministries. Elijah as we all know was a mighty man of God who did a lot of remarkable spiritual feat yet the bible reckon him as a man of like passion like us. He needed a friend that he can lean on, a friend to spur him on when the road seems too long and winding. 

Remember, the Holy has not yet been released to take up resident in the hearts of men in the days of the Patriarchs. He only came for specific purpose and departs once he got the job done. However, specific individuals were raised at the time to fulfill that role as evident in Ruth - Naomi, Jonathan- David and Elisha-Elijah relationships. He says ' I will not leave thee 

Even though we are in a different dispensation where the Holy spirit now lives in our hearts. God still wants us to develop relationships geared toward sharing one another's burden. Elijah needed a friend who shared his vision and can pour water on his hands.

Elisha was a prophet sent to a prophet sent from God to a prophetic generation. Such was the remarkable story of Elisha and Elijah as it unravels the essence of commitment to a common cause. its a story that transcends religious walls and speaks to how we need one another to get the job done. 

You cannot ascend without an Elisha, neither are you able to call fire down without an Elisha to pour water on your hands to cool off the heat. Elisha is the proof of your success and without him we cannot trace your footprint of accomplishment. You need an Elisha to catch your mantle when you soar to glory as he takes on your baton and complete the faith race on your behalf

Ask God for your own Elisha in your ministries and personal life as you chart your course to predestination. There is an Elisha waiting in the field, working and waiting to be enlisted by you, but you must allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to him.
