MFM Daily Devotional May 25, 2022 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, obstacle-removing 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 a great obstacle. 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 a 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.
