ELISHA - A Willing Helper
ELISHA -
A Willing Helper
We are created for God’s purpose and pleasure. There comes a time when the call to fulfil God’s purpose must be answered promptly and wholeheartedly, if not we would have missed the very essence of living.
1. What did Elijah do when he passed by Elisha? What was the significance of this?
He cast his mantle on Elisha.
This was the “call of God” on Elisha’s life.
Elijah meeting Elisha – Day of divine visitation and call
Significance: God’s call do come in a simple but significant ways – you will know
Through talents, personal commitments and developments, His Word, The Holy Spirit
Burden in the heart. Church leadership, Circumstances, Opportunities to serve, Inner conviction
1 Peter 4:10 “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
Ephesians 4:11-12 “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
“God is looking for people upon whom He can lay His hand. The call may come suddenly, but it is never accidental.”
“Elisha must leave all to follow Elijah, for those whom God calls must be willing to forsake all for Him.”
“The mantle always falls on those who are close enough and hungry enough to receive it.”
Immediate obedience to divine calling:
When God calls you, respond quickly and decisively, not after weighing every option.
God uses ordinary moments to reveal extraordinary purpose:
Look for God’s invitations in everyday moments, in ordinary people or events, not just dramatic experiences.
Mentorship:
Seek wise mentors, and consider how you might mentor others in turn. Spiritual leadership is transmitted through relationships.
Readiness to sacrifice comfort for mission:
Be willing to re-prioritize comfort, security, or future plans if God invites you into a higher calling or new assignment.
Is God extending a mantle or invitation to you right now?
What would it look like to respond in faith as Elisha did?
Identify one area where God might be calling you to a new level of commitment
Seek a trusted spiritual mentor who can encourage you.
Consider what “leaving the oxen” would look like in your context - what comforts or plans would you need to lay down?
Pray for courage to step into the next season, and commit to a concrete action
He told him to go back, asking, “What have I done to thee?”
Elijah’s response might have caused some to feel a rejection.
But Elijah’s reaction was only to test the depth of Elisha’s response.
No doubt the human reaction would have been to feel “rebuffed.”
Sometimes God allows obstacles to test our willingness and determination.
Elijah was just a messenger – Delivering God’s call offer
Elisha’s response must be “as unto God” – the initiator of the call
Elisha needs to have personal convictions
Elisha’s rection would further confirm Elisha’s readiness to the call
Elisha was focused to God and the call – avoiding human factors
From yourself, From family members, Fellow workers, Peer-pressure, Contemporary issues

Readiness to prioritize the call above family or comfort:
Assess competing loyalties or priorities and be prepared to place God’s purposes above comfort, status, or routines.
Demonstrating faith through concrete discipleship:
Faith is shown through ongoing obedience and participation in the work - seek mentors, and invest in practical service within a mission.
Are you clinging to “oxen” that you need to lay down to move forward?
Identify one security or routine you’re ready to relinquish in order to follow a clearer call.
Take a concrete first step toward service
Pray for courage to act now and a clear next step
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
The results may not always be immediate benefits in an outward or material sense.
Elisha filled a humble place of service, perhaps for as much as ten years, after he left his home and family.
“And he that taketh not his cross,”
-Must Jesus bear the cross alone?
-It begins with you – There is a proce to pay – know it – pay it
-God is waiting for you to take it up – as at when due
“and followeth after me,”:
-The call is to a new life, direction, desires, plan and total surrender to God and instructions
“is not worthy of me.”:
-God’s call comes with opportunities and responsibilities – First is to answer immediately
“He that findeth his life shall lose it:”
-Whatever we gather without God is emptiness – A life without Christ is a shattered dream
-God is a Keeper – He will keep, sustain and multiply whatever we entrust into His care
“and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.”
-We must surrender everything to God to have and gain everything
-A life invested in God is never a loss, it is a spiritual investment
-There is something to “loose” or surrender to God – Pay the proce

Only when you put God’s work as priority
You have a double life assurance

- handling God’s work as “Not a priority list”
True life comes through surrender
Following Christ requires sacrifice
Serving Christ’s people is serving Christ
The Rich fool:
Worked hard to cater for his physical needs
Secured his living for tomorrow
Ignored his spiritual welfare
Lost all and his life
“From riches to rags/lost eternity”
“My life without Christ is shattered dream”
Philippians 2:5-7 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.”
“The cross is not merely to be admired; it is to be carried.”

Evaluate where you might be prioritizing security over God’s call.
Are there comforts you need to give up toward mission and obedience?

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Moses gave up the pleasures, prestige, and power of Egypt, to be counted as one of God’s chosen people, and to be in a position to help their plight.
Having to go through hardship is nothing compared to the reward that awaits the one who is true and faithful.
KEY POINTS:
Willingness: - inclined or favorably disposed in mind - ready, prepared or happy to do something
Purpose: - an intended or desired result; end; aim; goal
Keep the reward in view
You are not serving in vain
God is not unfaithful to remember your sacrifices and consecrations
Be focused and expect your contemporary (now) and eternal rewards
Luke 14:33 “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”
1 John 2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
Philippians 3:7-8 “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.”

“Faith deliberately chooses the hardship that honours God.”
“Moses turned his back on Egypt because he saw something better ahead.”
“If you aim at heaven, you get earth thrown in; if you aim at earth, you get neither.”
Align identity with God’s purposes over worldly status:
Examine where you may be prioritizing status, titles, or comforts over God’s calling.
Seek identity in who God says you are as His child and worker in His mission.
Willingness to suffer for a higher purpose:
Consider what “costly” commitments you might need to embrace (perseverance in faith, ethical stands, service that costs time or resources).
Valuing eternal reward over temporary pleasures:
Reassess what you truly value.
Are short-term pleasures or security hindering a faithful long-term pursuit of God’s will?
Vision beyond the present:
Consider the bigger picture - how does this shape decisions about career, relationships, finances, and risk for the sake of God’s kingdom?
Are there areas where you may be clinging to “Pharaoh’s palace” comforts instead of following God’s call?
List one area where you are tempted to choose comfort or status over obedience. Identify a tangible costly step you can take to align more with God’s mission
6. What was Ruth willing to do to serve the Lord? See Ruth 1:15-17.
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
The determination in Ruth’s heart to make the sacrifice of leaving all, including her home was great and noteworthy
Unknown: - not known; not within the range of one's knowledge, experience, or understanding; strange; unfamiliar - Beyond logic, calculations, expectations but focused on faith
Ruth was ready to serve Naomi’s God and her family – Selflessness
Ruth teaches us: To follow God no matter the cost, To leave the old life behind
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Willingness to leave comfort and security:
Identify a personal area where you’re holding onto safety or predictability and consider praying through or taking a small step of courageous trust in God’s direction.
New spiritual identity and calling:
Reflect on how your relationship with God shapes your identity. Are you allowing your faith to redefine your decisions, relationships, and daily routines?
Take a tangible step toward aligning your life with God’s people and purposes (volunteer, begin regular Bible study group, or reach out to someone you’ve overlooked).
Pray for clarity and courage to pursue God’s path even when it means leaving your comfort zone.
“willingness” is a vital factor in acceptable service to God.
Unless one is willing, he will not even make the initial step of responding to God’s call.
If one is engaged in doing service for the Lord but does so unwillingly, he is in danger of losing his reward
1 Corinthians 9:17 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Most important: - the highest degree of significance, priority, or crucial value above all others
Service to the Lord: - living a life that glorifies God by aligning one's actions, work, and relationships with His will, often expressed through selfless service to others
Isaiah 1:19 “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:”
Exodus 35:5 “Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,”
Exodus 35:21 “And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering”

“Give God your whole heart, and He will use you greatly.”
“Willing obedience is the pathway to blessing.”
“God’s greatest requirement is not ability, but availability.”
Willingness unlocks opportunity and growth:
When we are willing, God can lead us into new assignments, learnable experiences, and refinements of character.
Cultivate a teachable spirit- ask for feedback, try new roles, and embrace growth opportunities even if they’re uncomfortable.
Attitude shapes the impact of our service:
A willing heart communicates reliability, humility, and trust
An unwilling or grumbling attitude can derail and discourage others.
Monitor your inner attitude and outer reactions.
Replace complaint responses with constructive, mission-focused language.
Willingness aligns us with God’s timing and plan:
God often works through our ready compliance rather than our reluctance
Reluctance can delay or disrupts His purposes.
Pray for clarity on what God is inviting you to do now.
Respond promptly and step into the next faithful action, even if the path isn’t fully clear.
Unwilling attitudes expose hidden idols or fears:
Resistance often reveals deeper issues: fear of failure, desire for control, comfort seeking, or pride.
Do honest self-examination.
Identify fears or idols behind reluctance, bring them to God, and seek to address them.
Are you genuinely willing to serve, or are you held back by fears, pride, or control?
Identify one area of service where you feel reluctance.
Write down the specific barrier fear, discomfort, pride, etc.
Bring that barrier to God in prayer
To be uncomplaining is to show our willingness.
A person may have accomplished a task, but if he did so with a complaining attitude, he was actually unwilling.
To complain about our service to God is to lose the blessing we could have received.
Uncomplaining: - patient - acceptance - willing to do boring or difficult work without complaining or becoming angry
Attitude: - a settled way of thinking, feeling, or behaving toward people, objects, or situations, reflecting a positive or negative evaluation
Often: - many times; repeatedly; frequently
Watch your reactions before they become attitudes – If they become attitudes, you need to pray it through

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”
Philippians 2:14-15 “Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”
Psalms 100:2 “Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.”
Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame”
“Murmuring is the language of a rebellious heart, while gratitude is the language of faith.”
“Those who murmur lose the comfort of what God has already given.”
“Beware of anything that makes you complain against God.”
“Israel’s murmuring delayed their blessings and prolonged their journey.”
“Nothing separates the soul from God like a complaining spirit.”
“A murmuring tongue reveals an unbelieving heart.”
Gratitude over grumbling:
Instead of focusing on discomfort or what’s missing, cultivate thankfulness for God’s presence, provision, and opportunities to serve.
Start or end each day listing three things you’re grateful for in your situation and in your service.
Channel complaints into prayer and action:
When a difficulty arises, don’t suppress feelings; redirect them toward prayer Create a habit of turning complaints into specific prayers or requests for wisdom and help, followed by a concrete step you can take.
Trust God’s sovereignty in the process:
Uncomplaining - rests on trusting that God is guiding, refining, and rewarding faithfulness, even in the wilderness or delays.
Memorize or meditate on a few verses that remind you of God’s faithfulness, and repeat them in challenging moments to steady your heart.
Maintain a hopeful, mission-minded spirit for others:
A non-complaining attitude inspires teammates, encourage resilience, and keep the group focused on God’s purposes.
Be intentional about your tone, body language, and words.
Offer encouragement, help, and practical support to others who are weary.
Identify one recurring source of discontent in your service and develop a constructive response - prayer, feedback request, or a practical adjustment.
Practice a “no grumbling” attitude - catch and reframe negative thoughts, replacing them with prayers or positive observations.
End each day by journaling how an uncomplaining spirit affected your effectiveness, relationships, and sense of peace, and note one habit to carry forward.
The Lord recognizes willing service and gives rewards.
The result of refusing is eternal damnation.
Rewards: - something that is given in return for good or evil done or received or that is offered or given for some service or attainment.
Connected with service for the Lord: - Doing the works of God – As unto God
Shall eat the good: Covenant law – God is not unfaithful to forget
Deuteronomy 28:2 “And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.”
Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
Psalms 128:1-2 “Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.”
Matthew 25:21 “His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
“God’s commands are never without reward to the obedient.”
“Those who are willing and obedient to God have reason to expect the gracious recompense of His favour.”
“There is no sacrifice made for God that will not be repaid a thousandfold.”
“No act of willing obedience escapes God’s notice or loses its reward.”
“God never withholds His best from those who leave the choice with Him.”
“God rewards those who seek Him, not because He must, but because He loves to.”
Willingness plus obedience = blessing:
The combo matters: readiness to align with God’s ways must be paired with faithful obedience to receive the promised reward.
Assess both your heart attitude and your concrete choices. Are you willing to do what God asks and obey in the small and big things?
God’s blessings often require steps of faith:
“If you are willing”
Identify a step of faith you’ve been avoiding.
Take a first small step to demonstrate willingness to trust God.
The reward - abundant, sustained provision:
“Eat the good of the land” points to provision, peace, and flourishing that come with living under God’s order.
Look for practical ways you need God’s - resourced opportunities, restored relationships, or renewed purpose - and pursue alignment with God’s path.
Integrity in motive:
Willingness and obedience are not just external compliance; they reflect a heart condition that seeks God’s glory.
Align your motives with love for God and people.
Seek to bless others through your service, not merely to receive personal reward.
Is your service to God driven by willingness and obedience together?
Identify one area where you sense God inviting obedience but you’ve hesitated. Pray for willingness to obey in that area and commit to a small, concrete step
Those around us can recognize a service that is done willingly and heartily unto the Lord.
We can guard against causing someone else to be discouraged in the Lord’s work.
Out attitudes towards God’s service: -Serving God is good but of much more importance is our attitude - In season and out of season
Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Hebrews 10:24 “And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:”
Timothy 4:12 “Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
Colossians 3:23 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”
“Catch on fire with enthusiasm, and people will come for miles to watch you burn.”
“A sour Christian is a poor advertisement for the Gospel.”
“Your attitude to God may be the only Bible someone reads.”
“One life wholly devoted to God is of greater influence than a thousand sermons.”
“People observe your walk before they listen to your talk.”
“Wherever you are, be all there for God.”
Work attitude reflects devotion to God, not just performance:
A sincere, wholehearted effort honors God and sets a standard for others.
Evaluate whether you’re giving your best, especially when not being watched or praised by people.
Attitude communicates values to others:
Enthusiasm, integrity, and perseverance influence teammates, volunteers, and those observing your service.
Cultivate a positive, humble, and patient demeanor that motivates and sustains others in the work.
Motivation shapes teamwork and leadership:
Serving “as for the Lord” shifts focus from seeking recognition to serving with unity and purposefully.
Prioritize the common good, encourage others, and address conflicts with grace, knowing your approach impacts the group’s spirit.
Consistency:
A consistent heart for the Lord creates reliability; others can trust you to follow through.
Align daily choices, time, and resources with the long-term aims of God’s work, even when it requires sacrifice or delays in gratification.
How is your current attitude in service affecting those around you?
Identify one service activity where your attitude could be more wholehearted. Note as a concrete action what you’ll change.
Seek feedback from a trusted teammate or mentor about how your attitude impacts the team.
Journal how your attitude influenced others’ participation, morale, and willingness to serve, and adjust your plan for the next cycle accordingly.
LET THY MANTLE FALL ON ME
1. Elijah was God’s prophet:
Elisha stood close by
And ere the prophet left him, he heard his servant cry:
Refrain:
“Let thy mantle fall on me;
let thy mantle fall on me
A double portion of thy, Spirit, Lord
let Thy mantle fall on me!”
that if faithful he would be,
His petition would be granted
and God’s glory he would see.
He did not forget his servant
who expressed one strong desire:
‘twas the faithful Christian band
And their prayer was heard and answered
over in the glory land:
The promised Blessing, may it be outpoured
let Thy Spirit fall on me.”
long ago, and far away,
Is the cry of all God’s children,
and He’s just the same today.
The promised Blessing, may it be outpoured
let Thy Spirit fall on me.”
