1 Kings 19:15-16
15 And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
1 Kings 19:19-21
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
MEMORY VERSE: “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” – Hebrews 13:17 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Show me a faithful, loyal and committed follower and I will show you a great leader! Followership is not just an act, but a process that you must put your totality into, if you must become a great leader in due course. It is an apprenticeship, a training through which the Individual is adequately mentored to the extent that he becomes a replica of the leader. No wonder the apostles were seen to be Christlike at Antioch, hence they were called “Christians” for the first time. Jesus said, whoever desires to be great must first be a servant (Mark 10:43-44). he was himself a leader with a servant heart. He wants us to emulate the same. Unfortunately, many christians are in a hurry today to get to the position of leadership.

Beloved, you must have a good report of followership to become a great leader. Leadership does not just happen, it must be virtuously developed. God instructed Elijah to appoint Elisha as the next prophet in his stead, but Elisha was not in a hurry to take the master’s position. He surrendered himself to be led and followed the footsteps of his master, he did not miss the mantle of power when Elijah was briskly taken to heaven (2 Kings 2:1-5). he refused to be distracted even by the sons of prophets. He followed his master till he received the double portion anointing!
God still looks out for such steadfastness and faithfulness in followers who desire to be great leaders. But we should not be like Gehazi who had the opportunity to become the next great prophet of God (with double the portion of Elisha’s anointing), but lost his eternal prospects as a result of covetousness (2 Kings 5:20-27). do you desire a stand in leadership for the kingdom? Then decide to be that sincere, loyal and committed follower that Jesus is looking for.
