. . . . The Joy Of Discipleship . . . . 1 Kings 19:1-19 are verses that tell how Elijah adopted Elisha to be his disciple and successor prophet. Elijah needed help and he needed hope. He worried that there would be not followers of God even though there were around 7,000 in Israel who did not follow Baal. So, Elisha stopped what he was doing and gave up his life of wealth to continue the work of God. We all get busy, but we all need to work for God. So many people do not have help or hope. God calls us at a price and we should serve Him in all we do. A disciple is a learner, follower, and reproducer. What kind of disciple are you?
