As Elijah was known as the fearless spokesman for God, Elisha was known as the man who wanted more of the Spirit of God. The most important thing happening in some churches is the Thursday night ball game. If that activity were canceled, some would not understand the purpose of church. The social get-together is its reason for existing. Every Christian makes the choice.
Every church makes the choice.
We can turn our church into a social club, or we can make it a house of prayer where the Spirit of God moves. When Elisha asked for a double portion, he realized the work that was before him. He realized that God needs a witness in the world. If Elisha were alive today, you would not find him looking for the church which has the best program. He would be looking for the church with a prayer room.
