Unit 13  Session 4

ELIJAH'S POWER

2 KINGS 4 - 6

God works through His people to do great things for His glory.

Elijah left the earth by God's appointment, and by God's will, he passed on his title and his spirit to the new prophet, Elisha. This prophet is now filled with the same power as his predecessor and is present in Israel. The majority of kings that follow in Israel are still wicked in the eyes of the Lord, and the people follow them. So Israel still needsa prophet to call them to repentance and obedience to Yahweh. Through Elisha, God continues to demonstrate His power so the kings, people, and nations will know Yahweh is the Lord God. And Elisha remains faithful in obedience to God, following the footsteps of his mentor.

Points to consider:

     * How should the reality of God's 

        resurrection power affect the lives 

        and actions of people today?

✞   The man of God multiplies bread for the people.

     * What are some ways you have seen the 

        Lord provide for your needs?

     * What are some ways we can serve the 

        Lord for His glory?

✞   The man of God heals a skin disease.       

     * What are some ways we can show kindness 

        in the world and point people to Jesus?
