The people of God are to be “armed for battle” (2 Chronicles 17:18).
The battle is spiritual. It can only be won through the power of the
risen Christ. His purpose is the destruction of “the last enemy ...
death” (1 Corinthians 15:26).
This has been accomplished, in principle, through Christ’s
resurrection. The full reality of His victory will be seen at His
return. With such a strong and victorious Lord on our side, we are
encouraged to pray to the Lord, fully expecting to receive help from
Him - “Hear my prayer, O Lord, let my cry for help come to You ... “ (Psalm 102:1-2).
The power of God was upon Elisha. God was at work in mighty power. When we red about Elisha, we say, in our hearts, ‘This is not about Elisha. This is about God - - God working through Elisha.’ We must always remember to give all the glory to the Lord. The praise does not belong to the servant. It belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise.
