An all-consuming spiritual passion seized Elisha as soon as Elijah placed his mantle on him. He left his oxen and ran after him. He said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you” (2 Kings 2:2). When Elijah’s earthly ministry was coming to an end he said to Elisha, “Tell me what can I do for you before I am taken from you” (2 Kings 2:9)? Elisha replied, “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit” (2 Kings 2:9).
Solomon asked for wisdom. Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s anointing. Both received what they ask for. What are you asking for?
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”
— Matthew 7:7 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, give us a double portion of the Holy Spirit. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
