       *DOUBLE PORTION*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  03 March 2024*


SCRIPTURE: 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 - *2 Kings 2:9*


When Elijah was to be taken up by a whirlwind, his Spiritual son Elisha asked for a Double Portion of the Spirit upon Elijah.


*Why did he ask for Double Portion?*


*(1)* He wanted to move from the Natural realm to the Supernatural. 


His father was Operating in the realm of the Supernatural and he knew the realm is Superior to the Natural. 


*Elijah was commanding Ahab who was in the Natural realm.* 


Elisha desired the Superior realm - *1 Kings 18:41*


*(2)* He wanted to be a Blessing to his Generation. 


He knew his father was a Blessing to his Generation, bringing Joy to homes and the Nation - *1 Kings 17:41-45*


Elisha wanted to do same.


*(3)* He wanted to do Greater Works than his father - *John 14:12*


*(4)* He wanted to Succeed where his father failed. 


He could see his father's inability to handle some situations. 


For instance, the breaking of the Curse on Jericho - *2 Kings 2:19-21*


*(5)* He wanted to fulfil his Destiny.


It is in his Destiny to be Greater than his father just as Isaac was greater than Abraham - *Genesis 24:35; Genesis 26:13*


*We also must desire to go further in Life than those who have gone before.*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please let me break the record of those who have gone before me  and set another record in Jesus Christ Name.
