Today's Reading:
2Kings 2:1-12, 12
"And it came to pass when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy Spirit be upon me.” (v. 9 AKJV)
According to the Bible passage above, Elisha required double portion of the Spirit of Elijah to fall upon him. Elisha knew that the only benefit he can derive for his stewardship to Elijah was the Spirit of the Living GOD dwelling in him. He knew that with the Spirit of God, he would do exploits, signs and wonders that he would be able to meet his needs.
However, this might not be possible without consistency from the side of Elisha. Anyone in life that needs to do exploits for the Lord and make it in life must be able to wait on the Lord in order to get approval from the Lord (Isaiah 40:31). When being consistent with the Lord, you need patience, endurance, holy aggression, humility and watchfulness. These were demonstrated by Elisha, despite all distractions that came his way even from the sons of the prophets that should have known better.
Therefore beloved, let us be consistent with strong faith in the Lord as to be able to reach our goals in life.

Prayer:
Power of satanic distraction in my life die in the name of Jesus.
I shall reach my goal whether the enemy likes it or not in the name of Jesus.
Power for consistency in the things of God fall upon me afresh in the name of Jesus.
Power of spiritual weariness you will not succeed in Christian homes in the name of Jesus.
My heaven open by fire in the name of Jesus.
