Building an altar unto the Lord speaks of a relationship between the people and the Lord. So do you have a personal altar? How often do you remember you have a relationship with Gd to nurture and guard jealously? People will laugh at you when you make yup your mind to follow God; they will try to discourage you. But be like Elisha; be positive; be determined and keep your focus. Major in the majors; leave out the minors; shake off the dust from your feet. Move beyond the ordinary to extra-ordinary living; let your pursuit consume all your energy. Don’t settle for less like the sons of the prophets. Fly with the eagles, not with the chickens. You have no business keeping company with those that are going nowhere.
Nothing fuels enthusiasm like commitment to the things you are convinced of getting. Constantly develop yourself in like with the things that will get you the double potation. The sons of the prophets were a constant distraction to Elisha’s commitment to follow his master and mentor to the end, i.e. till the time that God would take him away to heaven. Some people in the church can tell you what God is doing in this dispensation even through they are not bothered that they aren’t part of it. They know so much yet their lives show no trace of their great knowledge. They are only good at preventing others from getting the best out of life. Though going nowhere, they are not prepared to let others move ahead. What do you tell such people? ‘Hold your peace.’ while you continue with your pursuit.
God will only commit Himself to those who serve Him. He promotes only those that are committed to His service. Nothing qualifies for the double portion anointing like a close and constant fellowship with God.
