ELISHA SUCCEEDS ELIJAH

MEMORY VERSE: “So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him”

TEXT: 1 KINGS 19:15-21

To succeed someone means you are next after the person. In our study today, we are dealing with two major prophets, Elijah and Elisha. As Elijah’s prophetic ministry was ending, Elisha became his able servant and eventually succeeded him. According to the 3rd president of America, Thomas Jepherson, “Nothing is more incumbent on the old than to know when they should get out of the way and relinquish to younger successors the honor they can no longer earn, and the duties they can no longer perform.” Elijah was a great prophet and performed 14 miracles including prophesies, during his ministry. However, he started complaining to God as he seemed to be the only one serving Him while Israel had turned onto idolatry. God had to appoint, a wealthy farmer, Elisha to succeed him.

God cares for His weary disciples. Elisha served well as a prophet and got the double portion of Elijah’s anointing that he requested for by doing 28 miracles. Beloved, be spiritually, academically and morally prepared to succeed your leaders in all walks of life.

PRAYER: Holy Father, make me a vessel fit for your use, in Jesus’ name

QUOTE: God cares for His weary disciples.

CHALLENGE: Like Elisha, be ready when the mantle falls on you
