The Transfer Of Responsibility-From Elijah To Elisha & The Implications

Spread the love

Elijah’s story takes center stage in the first book of Kings, an era in which the kingdom of Israel is led by one of its worst leaders, King Ahab. As Elijah’s ministry is coming to an end, 2 Kings 2:1-22 gives us an interesting story between his assistant ( Elisha) and him. I spent about a couple of months mediating on this passage and I still don’t think I fully understand  the picture the Lord is painting for us in there. However, I wanted to share with you what I think the Holy spirit has disclosed to me as I pondered over the words on this chapter.
