2 Kings 2:2, NIV
But 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.

Commentary Blessings contested by trouble, sickness and slander 1. Blessings on those who care for the poor Blessings  follow those ‘who have regard for the weak’ (v.1) – those who care, for example, about the poor, th

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing."

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
