WHERE IS THE LORD GOD OF ELIJAH? (I)

25^TH , MAY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 16, 1 Samuel 17:1-37, John 15, John 16:1-4, Psalm 67:1-7

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Kings 2:9-15

9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 

11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.

13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

15 Now when the sons of the prophets who were from  Jericho saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.

MEMORY VERSE:

“For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death."
–Psalms 48:14

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
The Lord God of Elijah can do the impossible, trust Him.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

I PROPHESY THAT THE GOD OF ELIJAH WILL MAKE YOU HIS BATTLE AXE AND INSTRUMENT OF WAR IN THIS GENERATION, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

THE MESSAGE:

Elisha ministered to his master, Elijah, until Elijah ascended to heaven. He also knew the unusual magnitude of the grace and power of God upon his master. Out of his desire to do great works, he requested for double portion of Elijah's spirit. Elijah told him that his request would be granted if he was able to see him being taken up. Elisha was given the grace to see his master, Elijah, being taken away. He also took the mantle that fell from Elijah before he arrived at River Jordan.




Elisha needed to cross the river, a great obstacle indeed. He was not going to swim and there was no bridge to use, so he needed a miracle to cross over River Jordan. He had heard and seen the faithfulness and wonder-working power of God through the amazing feats of his master, Elijah. He called on the God of Elijah with unwavering faith. Then he took the mantle that had fallen from Elijah, struck the water and said, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" The water parted to the right and to the left; and he crossed over.




The Lord God of Elijah is a wonder-working God, false-prophet-dislodging God and He is still at work today. The first supernatural work Elisha did with the fresh anointing he received was to surmount great obstacles. Remember that Elijah had struck the water of Jordan with his mantle and it parted for him and Elisha to cross over. Elisha called on the God who performed that miracle through his master, Elijah, and God answered him. The miracle of parting Jordan showed that the God of Elijah was with Elisha. It also proved that Elisha had an unstoppable anointing. He demonstrated great faith in the God of Elijah and he got his breakthrough.




Beloved, as a New Testament believer, your faith in the mighty and wonder-working name of Jesus will produce supernatural solution to any challenge that confronts you. It will part your Jordan, remove all obstacles the enemy puts in your way and produce miracles that will make your joy to be full. All you need is to make sure that you are born again and that you have faith in God.
