Joel Osteen Daily Devotional March 23, 2025 Sunday TOPIC: Mentors
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
So Elisha…took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.
1 Kings 19:21, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
Elisha was out working in the fields when the prophet Elijah came by and called him to join him. Elisha saw something in Elijah that he wanted. He saw the favor on his life and how Elijah was doing great things. He recognized that being with Elijah could make a difference in his life. So he left what he’d been doing and served Elijah faithfully.
When Elijah went to heaven, Elisha asked for and received a double portion of Elijah’s anointing. But if Elisha would have stayed around the people he grew up with, he would not have done twice as many miracles as Elijah. You need people in your life who are further along than you, people who have a bigger vision, people who are more experienced, people who have what you want.
You need to be exposed to new levels so you can go to new levels. You need good mentors who have been where you want to go. Get around dreamers, connect with people who are more talented, more successful, and glean from them.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You have already lined up these favor connections for me. Thank You for the people You’ve set in place to help me go further. Help me to disconnect from people who are hindering my growth and to connect with people who are favored. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
