Who Can Rule or Reign Forever on Earth? Part 2

We All Rule For a Period With Approval From Our Source!
























The Queen of Talk-Show Who Truly Understands Her Vision and Humble too!































Let me illustrate the above point with the written scriptures from the bible where the most powerful and dramatic Prophet Elijah was taken up to a higher level, heaven after crowning his successor. 2 kings 2:8-14.


Prophet Elijah like any leader, celebrity, sports hero, queen of talk-show and guru you see today was so powerful and had an ardent follower Elisha who also loved his source.

Elijah in answering the whys in his vision was indeed remarkably successful, and Elisha saw him perform so many signs and wonders."Elijah took his mantle, rolled it, and struck the water with it. The water parted to both sides, and they crossed over on dry ground". Yes, that was Elijah teaching his successor how to deal with life problems within an office and conquer many territories. 

"After they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, What shall I do for you before I am taken away from you? Ask me, Elisha said, Grant that I may have the best of your spirit". He asked for the best of Elijah’s gift. Elijah although a powerful prophet but still had the nature of man said, Your request is most difficult. Yet if you see me while I am being taken from you, then you shall have it". He was a very wise man and did not want the office to become extinct in his time.

"When they were talking on the way, a Chariot of fire with horses of fire stood between them, and Elijah was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha saw him and cried out to Elijah’s source, “Father, my father, chariots of Israel and its horsemen!"

“When Elisha lost sight of him, he took hold of his own clothes and tore them. He then picked up the mantle which had fallen from Elijah and returned to the banks of the Jordan”. Elisha threw away what he had always known, his old ways and adapted the new ways of Elijah. Whilst liaising also with his source in order to be successful in the new role.

Although he tried to strike the same water with the mantle, it did not work for him. It began to work when he truly had a deep relationship with Elijah’s source. He began to understand the only way the waters, people, lesser powers, evil, healing, prosperity, nations and” true signs and wonders” would obey him is if he acknowledged and called on Elijah’s source. More so, he was not in the position of authority because Elijah put him there, but was there because Elijah's source who now became his own God wanted him there.

“So, Elisha asked, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” And as Elisha struck the same water again it parted. Elisha crossed over”. He simply was now able to crossover to a breakthrough place where people would now accept him as a new face and voice of God.

What a powerful illustration for predecessors seeking their successors right now and the principles successors must apply before they too can become successful.

Sometimes, many would love to keep the glamour, money and fame within the family equivalent to the mantle of Elijah, but there you go again. Go and ask your source right now, if you are in any high position where you truly believe you have concluded your assignment, by what your vision seeks to answer and your mission, which has given you a clear strategy on how to tackle the problems throughout the tenure of your vision. Who is my successor should be your vision right now?



Africa Listen and apply now!
Europe open up and be flexible!
America who is next?
Asia, technology cannot save you.
Middle East, Natural Resources can dry up suddenly!
