Bible Question:
2 kings 2:1 -14 Why did Elisha have to see Elijah taken up to receive the double annointing [mantle] or portion. Why did Elisha not giving up or leave Elijahs side.[presence] |
Bible Answer: I believe that it wasn't some deep profound reason or mystery it was Just because it was the condition gave by Elijah to Elisha in order to recieve what he had asked from the prophet and i believe that that took some faith. Why did Elisha not leave Elijahs side or give up because he wanted it bad enough. My pastor ask me all the time in his mentoring me Son how bad do you want it and more than that how bad do you want Him (CHRIST). |
