MANTLE
2 Kings 2:9-15
Devotional:- “Then
he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water,
and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had
struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over” (V.14) NKJV
It
is necessary to note that the mysteries of God look so ordinary to people of no
understanding. Some of the things that have kept us from the power of God are
religion, tradition, and human philosophy. For the message of the cross is
foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is
the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:8). One of such neglected vessels of power is
the mantle. These are materials that have contacted the anointing of God having
contacted the anointed. The anointing flows when a Spirit-filled believer
allows the Holy Spirit to flow through them.
You
need to know that God’s anointing can be likened to perfume, oil, or
electricity current. That is why whatever the anointed man touches can carry a
portion of the anointing. Understand that the anointing is transferable by
relationship (Proverbs 13:20). The handkerchief of Elijah that dropped became the
vessel of miracles. Also, the woman with the issue of blood touched the cloth
of Jesus and was healed (Matthew 9:20-22). Paul’s handkerchief was also sent to
heal people (Act 19:11-12).
Do
not despise these mysteries. Locate the anointed men of God and tap into this
grace in their lives. These are men who carry the presence of God always with
evidence of signs and wonders. Anytime you need healing or a miracle, stand or
sit where your pastor stands or sits by faith. And you shall be delivered.
Whatever the mantle touches come back to life (2 Kings 13:20-21). When this is
done by faith you are too sure of your miracle.
Prayer: Lord, grant me a simple heart to live by faith
“YOU ARE TOO LOADED
THAN TO FAIL”
