So he asks for something big but he asked for something big spiritually. When you read the life of Elisha in 2 Kings you will discover he did twice as many miracles as Elijah. ![]() God is just showing off and showing out through this prophet. I want twice as much God on me as I saw on you", and as we have already seen, there's a whole bunch of God on Elijah. Let a double portion of your spirit rest on me. In verse 9 of 2 Kings chapter 2, "When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, 'Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.' And Elisha said, 'Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.'" Elisha tells Elijah, "I want twice as much God as you have. So I have the question now today to you and to me and to us, what is your spiritual legacy? How much of the supernatural are you leaving behind? That's poor leadership because the whole idea is to carry on a spiritual legacy, a legacy that makes a big deal about a great God. It's a great problem when a leader leaves and there's nothing left behind. That means it's time for him to make a transfer of a spiritual heritage that the plan and prophetic program of God might continue even after he is gone. It is time for him to go into the presence of God. But this is not only true within your nuclear family it's true in God's spiritual family, that the reason why God wants you associated in a spiritual environment is so that a spiritual legacy can be transferred to you and through you for others.Īnd so we find Elijah getting ready to pass off the scene. In fact, it is Psalm 71:18 that says that the power of God is to be transferred from a generation to another generation, if there is little or no God left behind. All through the Scripture, his plan and program in the world would be carried on through him being transferred from one generation to another. God never meant his program to stop because there was no legacy to carry it on. The question that I wanna raise today through the life of Elijah is what kind of spiritual legacy are you leaving behind? How much of God are you transferring? It reflects the accumulation of goods and resources that have been attained during your life: houses, cars, accounts. The will consists of that which you want to pass on to the next generation. Every responsible parent here has made a will.
