HOW BIG IS YOUR FAITH
May i receive a double portion of your spirit
(2kings 2:9)
Daily Reflection
Elijah had a vocation and ministry that none of his generation could match. He was generally known as a prophet of God. His ministry majored on the manifestation of the power of God. To have received half of his spirit and ministry was already a great thing by Elijah. But Elisha was not satisfied with just a part of Elijahs spirit or even the full spirit of Elijah. What he wanted was a double portion of Elijah spirit. It seemed that Elisha was erratic in his desire. Even Elijah told him, "You have asked something that is not easy. Still, if you see me taken up from you,your wish will be granted". God did not rebuke Elisha for his big request. The boldness and faith of Elisha enabled him to pursue the conditions for receiving what he asked. With this ,i can easily conclude that no request is too much for God to grant. God cant be embarrassed by the size of your request,no matter how big. What Elisha asked for was difficult but God is a master of difficult cases.If you are willing to go all the way with God he will bless your life with his power and glory.
The request of Elisha shows how much faith he had in God. If you want to know the size of a persons faith, check their request. God has no problem fulfilling our big requests. He does not have a problem with how big they are. If we have the amount of faith needed to receive the request,it is granted. There is no amount of faith needed for any miracle to take place. If you are asking God for anything,what he is looking out for is your faith. How is your faith? What amount of faith do you have that you will receive your request?
