When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me." 2 Kings 2:9 WEB.
While walking down the road together, Elisha was just a humble servant to the mighty prophet Elijah. This prophet was renowned for calling fire down from heaven multiple times. His words had brought a drought on the land and then later caused it to rain. Elijah resurrected people from the dead, fed people for years from a small jar, and so much more. He was a force to be reckoned with.
The young Elisha could only dream of being used by God like that. Yet, he dared to ask Elijah for a double portion anointing, and the Lord gave it to him. The prophet Elijah did fourteen recorded miracles. His servant Elisha did twenty-eight, exactly twice as many.
Don't be afraid to dream big. God can easily surpass your wildest dreams and go beyond your imagination, as long as you will go with Him. Of course, keep God in the center of your life, and be a good servant/steward along the way as Elisha did. For your attitude determines your altitude. Dare to follow your dream. It may be the Lord has placed it within you for such a time as this.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please give me a fresh vision, and renew Your dream within me. I want all that You have for me here, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
