Stay Faithful

Oct 15, 2021

Today’s Scripture

2 Kings 2:2, NIVBut Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”

Today’s Word

When the prophet Elijah was about to be taken up to heaven in a whirlwind, three times he told his assistant Elisha that he did not need to go with him to Bethel. But Elisha, who had taken care of Elijah faithfully, wouldn’t hear of it. His attitude was, “I’m committed to you. I was with you in the good times of miracles, and I’m going to be with you to the end.” Elisha had plenty of reasons to walk away, but he was committed. Because he stayed committed to serving Elijah, Elisha received a double portion of Elijah’s anointing and ended up performing twice as many miracles as Elijah did.

When you stay committed to your marriage, to your church, or to your job even though it’s hard, a double portion is coming–double favor, double honor, double resources. When you do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening, God will make things happen that you couldn’t make happen. Stay committed, stay faithful, stay loyal. You’re close to your breakthrough!

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for the double portion that You have reserved for those who stay committed when it would be easy to walk away. Help me to do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening. I believe that my breakthrough is coming. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
