"Request whatever I might do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of your spirit.” (2 Kings 2: 9).
Elijah the great prophet knowing that his time has come to leave this earth, wanted to bestow on Elisha his disciple a memorable gift. He asked Elisha the above question. Elisha gave a great answer that reminds us of Solomon when God asked him a similar question:
"That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." (2 Chronicles 1: 7).
Solomon asked for wisdom. If you have a similar opportunity like Solomon and Elisha, what will you ask for?
Jesus Himself suggests to us what to ask for:
"If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" (Luke 11: 13).
Do you believe the word of Jesus? Then open your heart and mind to the promise of God who cannot lie:
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7: 7).
