The Anointing Still Lives

Let's kickstart the episode from 2 Kings 13:20-21, "So Elisha died, and they buried him.

Now bands of the Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year.

And as a man was being buried, behold, a masquerading band was seen.

And the man was thrown into the grave of Elisha.

And as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet." That is ESV.

In King James, "Elisha died and they buried him.

And the bands of the Moabite invaded the land at the coming of the year, which is spring.

And it came to pass, as they were burying the man, that behold, they, they spy a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulcher of Elisha.

And when the man was let down and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood up on his feet." The carriers of anointing may die, the anointing remains.

The passage we read demonstrates that the anointing and the power of the Holy Ghost upon Elisha was so great that even his bone became a point of miracle and manifesting result after he had gone.

God honored the life and the ministry of Elisha.

We know that Elisha took the double portion of Elijah.

He was a successor of Elijah, his master.

The Word of the living God revealed to us that God's power is not limited by human death.

We saw Elisha die.

You remember Elijah, his master? Elijah, his master, did not die.

He went to heaven by chariot of fire.

And his successor, Elisha, who became his successor, took a double portion of the Spirit of God that was upon Elijah, came upon his life when he took the mantle of Elijah, his master.

Bible said a time came in the life of Elisha that he died, and he was buried.

And the, the bands of Moabite usually invade the land in the spring season of the year.

And this man was being buried, behold, the same band came.

But the Bible has make us to understand that a, a man was being buried.

At the process of his burial, they, they sighted these bands of the Moabite.

They raiding the land coming.

They abandoned the man by throwing him into the grave of Elisha.
