He already knew, but he tested him

HE ALREADY KNEW, BUT HE TESTED HIM

…and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from the town of Abel-meholah to replace you as my prophet. (1 Kings 19:16 NLT)

Prophet Elijah already had an order from God to anoint Elisha as his successor, however, he tested him first.

He took him through four places that represented something in the forming of his disciple, Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and Jordan.

All I can think of is that he was “training” his successor to make sure he could handle such an assignment.
He was testing Elisha’s determination.

He was testing whether he was determined to what was necessary to receive the double anointing.

This coronavirus pandemic is testing the resolve of all of us.

I know that a greater dimension of glory is coming and that many will remain in the middle and will not receive it.
Lord, I am determined to move on, just give me your grace to be part of this next movement of glory.

 … and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from the town of Abel-meholah to replace you as my prophet. (1 Kings 19:16 NLT) 

Think about it:

How has this pandemic affected your spiritual life?
Do you want to be part of the greater glory that comes?
Are you determined to get through this pandemic by trusting God?
