11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
When Elijah departed on the chariot of fire, his prophetic protégé, Elisha was disconcolate. His first cry was that of alarm: “My father, my father!!”. But when he came to himself, he realized that the mantle he demanded from on Elijah had fallen. He picked up this mantle with confidence. With this in his hand, his second cry was that of trust and power in the God of Elijah: “Where is the Lord God of Elijah!”. And with this victorious cry and prophetic action, Elisha successfully divided the Jordan and crossed over and his ministry started in earnest. The Bible recorded that from this time onward, he became the head of the sons of prophets in the city of Jericho. The sons of the prophets who had been mocking and making jest of him came to bow before him. Not long after this, he went ahead to heal the waters of the city and became an environmental transformer of the town (2 Kings 2:12-22).

What type of cries do you utter when the trials of life come your way? Are you the crybaby type? Are you a murmurer? Are you a complainer? Are you the type that curses man and God when challenges come his way? As a believer, you need to know that we live in a life that is full of trials, troubles and tribulations (John 16:33). Our Lord Jesus passed through this way too and He has made us to realize that our afflictions in life are temporary if we can learn to trust him. He also promised that we will not be yoked with any challenge that is too much for us to shoulder.
There is a lesson for you to learn from the case of Elisha. In the moments of crisis, refrain from crying and whining like a baby. Rather, gird up your loins, look up with faith at the storms of life and cry: “Where is the Lord God of Elijah!”. I believe you will make the better choice today.
