The Lord’s people are called to a ministry of preaching the Gospel and teaching the Word (Jeremiah 11:6; Colossians 1:25,28).
While this ministry is carried out by particular individuals, e.g.
Jeremiah and Paul, it is a ministry which is strengthened by the support
and encouragement which comes from the Lord’s people. It is not only
to the preachers and teachers that God says, “Extol Him.” He says,
“Extol Him all you people” (Psalm 117:1).
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.
