BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 6:1-40, Psalm 95:1-96:13, Luke 22:54-23:12, Proverbs 14:5-6
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Kings 2:11-14 (KJV)
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.
MEMORY VERSE: “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.” – 1 Kings 19:19-21 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Elisha was a wealthy farmer. He was so busy ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen when Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.
Elisha lived at a time when moral and spiritual decadence was high in Israel; a time when idol worship was “trending” in Israel but he did not compromise his faith. He refused to be swept away by trends, but remained true to God.

God sees and knows all, even our hearts. He saw Elisha, who remained true and served Him diligently, even in the midst of sin and idolatry, and elevated him.
This lesson applies to all Christians of today; the trending thing is not necessarily the God thing. Even if it is trending in the church, remain true to God. Don’t compromise your faith, and He who sees in secret will Himself openly reward you.
Elisha accepted the call in a heartbeat; he left the oxen, ran after Elijah and became his servant. Elisha was purposeful and visionary.
He knew exactly what he wanted out of his relationship with Elijah: a double portion of the prophet’s anointing. His goal was clearly defined without ambiguity and he got the answer. You must be sure of what you want out of life, or are you the kind of person that takes anything that comes your way?
If you do not or cannot clearly define what exactly you want out of life, and clearly define your purpose and goals, you will jump on every bandwagon that comes around; which will ultimately lead to a life of frustration and non-achievement.
Elisha was a very determined and focused man. Despite efforts to distract him from his aim, he remained focused. He must have said to himself, “It’s either this double portion or nothing else.”
Determination and focus are vital traits of highly successful people. Without these, nothing worthwhile can be accomplished in life, because there certainly will be distractions and challenges to stop you from reaching your goals.
