Miraculous Provision - 2 Kings 4:1 - 7

Like the fishermen following Jesus, Elisha gave up his prize belongings and work as a farmer to follow closely Elijah who called him. He stuck close to Elijah, and would not let him out of his sight. At the end of the day he wanted a double portion of the Spirit he saw on Elijah's life, and this was no bad thing.

New Series - Stories of Elisha

We will be telling some of the incredible stories of Elisha between now and Christmas - each week understanding how God powerfully moved through this servant.

Suggested reading is 2 chapters a week, starting in 1 Kings 17 (Elijah), continuing to 2 Kings 13 (the death of Elisha). See how Elisha started as a mentee of Elijah, and clung to him closely as a disciple - eager for a double portion of the Spirit to fall on him. Do we have the same kind of attitude in our discipleship?

Elisha then lived by the Spirit with God working remarkably through his life, giving rise to the various stories that make up this series.
