POURING WATER!!

The stories of the bible are so interesting and encouraging at times it's hard to even put the bible down. The word of God is a rich spiritual encounter with a SOVEREIGN GOD, Jesus said "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit , and they are life."( St John6:63)  I'm so glad God knows the end from the beginning. Isn't it great that we serve a God that will tell you the end of a thing before the beginning, before you start I'll tell you the finish . (Isaiah 46:10 )" Declaring the end from the beginning" , "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22,)  that's why God can show you your future and I'm here to tell you no matter what happens your future looks bright!!  The word of God will breathe life and purpose into your life when you allow his empowering presence to witness through you . The story of Elijah and Elisha begins in (1 Kings 19: 19-21) where Elisha received his call to  minister. In (2 Kings chapter 2:1) the bible tells us that Elijah will be taken to heaven in a whirlwind . Elisha refuses to leave Elijah and watches his translation  and receives a double portion. Elisha was such a gifted prophet that the kings servant let the king know that Elisha the prophet was stealing his secrets in his bedchamber !! (2 Kings 6:12 ) What a powerful gift and anointing to hear what they were saying in there bedroom ! Here are some of the miracles Elisha did.  Elisha purified a spring (2 kings 2:19-22 ) , he raised the Shunammite's only son (2 kings 4:18-37),  he provided an antidote for poisonous stew (2 kings 4:38-41) , he healed Naaman's leprosy (2 kings 5:1-19 ) , he recovered a lost axe head (2 kings 6:1-7), he provided water to a thirsty army (2 kings 3:4-20).  There are other miracles Elisha did even when he was dead the double portion yet operated in his dead bones (2 kings 13:21) . What an awesome prophet of God who ministered for about fifty years in total  victory.                                                                                                                                                     What I thought was interesting was the way the kings servant describes Elisha  " But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord by him? AND ONE OF THE KING OF ISRAEL'S (SERVANTS) ANSWERED AND SAID , HERE IS ELISHA THE SON OF SHAPHAT, " WHICH POURED WATER ON THE HANDS OF ELISHA"( 2KINGS 3:11). Notice the servant didn't say , the miracle worker, the prophet, the leprosy healer, he said " which poured water on the hands of Elisha .What an awesome description of the man of God . How many men of God today want to be known  as a "Water Boy"?  This is how Elisha got his DOUBLE PORTION being the servant of Elijah, ARE THERE ANYMORE SERVANTS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD THAT ARE WILLING TO POUR WATER? IT SEEMS TO ME EVERYBODY WANTS WATER POURED ON THEM. If you are willing to pour water or be a servant because minister means (to serve) God will pour his SPIRIT on you!! Jesus said "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." (Mark 9:35) The kings servant reveals a secret here the source of Elisha's power came from him pouring water or being a servant to Elijah!! TRY POURING SOME WATER!!
