Bible Study: Double Blessings

Remind your Sunday School and Bible Study group - the Bible tells us that Elisha performed exactly double the number of miracles of Elijah.

Elijah had trained the prophet Elisha to carry on God’s work after him.
Elisha asked if he could have double the blessings of God on his life that Elijah had had.
Elijah said, “If you see me go, God will bless you.”
Elisha watched his teacher all the time.

Finally God took Elijah away in a chariot drawn by horses into the sky.
Elisha was the only person to see it.
Elijah’s cape was thrown to the ground for him.
The prophets cape was a symbol of his ministry.
Then Elisha knew that God would answer his prayer and give him his teacher’s powers.
