      TOPIC: The Translation of Elijah

      OPENING PRAYER:  Grant me grace dear Lord to apply what you will teach me today as I read this passage.

      SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: 2 King 2:1-14

      1 When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; the Lord has sent me to Bethel.”

      But Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

      3 The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”

      “Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.”

      4 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, Elisha; the Lord has sent me to Jericho.”

      And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.

      5 The company of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”

      “Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.”

      6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.”

      And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them walked on.

      7 Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

      9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”

      “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.

      10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”

      11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.

      13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. “Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.

      QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION
      • Q 2: Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
      • Q 7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?

      MESSAGE: Nothing happens to a child of God by accident. God knows and has planned every detail of our lives. Notice that it was God who decided when and how Elijah would be taken (v.1). We may not have the privilege of knowing when and how we shall depart this world, but we can be sure that it shall be at God’s appointed time and in His pre-determined manner.

      Elijah was busy with the Lord’s assignment till he was taken up (vs.2a, 4a &6a). This is a good example for us to follow (Romans 12:11).

      The parting blessing of a dying believer is something valuable. Elisha had followed Elijah for several years. He now desires a blessing from his departing master. This however was not to come so easily. He had to prove that he possesses what it takes to inherit the blessing (vs.9-10). On three occasions, his commitment, determination, and perseverance were tested (vs.2, 4& 6). What would have happened had Elisha agreed to stay back as suggested by his master? What can we learn from this as we follow the Lord (John 6:66-68; Matthew 24:13)?

      • Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

      CLOSING PRAYER
      Dear Lord, help me to be wholly committed to you and never miss the moment of my blessing.

      Offer a prayer of faith in line with Isaiah 41:13

      DON’T GIVE UP

      And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
      – Galatians 6:9

      THANK GOD FOR:
      ► The strength we get from our God to continue in Him.
      ► The plan of God to do us good and not evil.

      ► Help to be strong as we continue to wait for our God.

      PRAY AGAINST:
      ► Spirit of fear that may make us loose our spiritual strength.
      ► Depending on human wisdom instead of trusting God and waiting for His deliverance.
