MEMORISE: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33
BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 2:9
9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
MESSAGE:
If you have an opportunity to meet God face to face today and He asks you what you want, would you know what to say? In today’s Bible reading, Elijah asked Elisha what he wanted. Elisha requested a double portion of Elijah’s anointing, and he got it. He asked and got what he wanted because he knew what he wanted beforehand.
Years ago, I attended an international Conference where a mighty man of God allowed us to ask for what we wanted for our ministries. Others asked for books, tracts, and financial assistance, but I asked him to lay his anointed hands on me for the work of the ministry. He was impressed with my request, and he prayed for me. Today, everyone can testify to the faithfulness of God in RCCG.
My dear child, I encourage you to dedicate more time in prayer to ask God what His purpose for your life is. It is only when you know His purpose for your life that you can align your wants and requests with His will and fulfil your destiny.
REFLECTION:
What do you desire the most from
God?
