《為上帝施行奇事》Day01
《願感動你的靈加倍地感動我！》
1 耶和華要用旋風接以利亞升天的時候，以利亞與以利沙從吉甲前往。2 以利亞對以利沙說：「耶和華差我往伯特利去，你可以在這裏等候。」以利沙說：「我指著永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人下到伯特利。3 住伯特利的先知門徒出來見以利沙，對他說：「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你，你知道不知道？」他說：「我知道，你們不要作聲。」4 以利亞對以利沙說：「耶和華差遣我往耶利哥去，你可以在這裏等候。」以利沙說：「我指著永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人到了耶利哥。5 住耶利哥的先知門徒就近以利沙，對他說：「耶和華今日要接你的師傅離開你，你知道不知道？」他說：「我知道，你們不要作聲。」6 以利亞對以利沙說：「耶和華差遣我往約旦河去，你可以在這裏等候。」以利沙說：「我指著永生的耶和華，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不離開你。」於是二人一同前往。7 有先知門徒去了五十人，遠遠地站在他們對面；二人在約旦河邊站住。8 以利亞將自己的外衣捲起來，用以打水，水就左右分開，二人走乾地而過。9 過去之後，以利亞對以利沙說：「我未曾被接去離開你，你要我為你做甚麼，只管求我。」以利沙說：「願感動你的靈加倍地感動我。」10 以利亞說：「你所求的難得。雖然如此，我被接去離開你的時候，你若看見我，就必得著；不然，必得不著了。」11 他們正走著說話，忽有火車火馬將二人隔開，以利亞就乘旋風升天去了。12以利沙看見，就呼叫說：「我父啊！我父啊！以色列的戰車馬兵啊！」以後不再見他了。於是以利沙把自己的衣服撕為兩片。 13 他拾起以利亞身上掉下來的外衣，回去站在約旦河邊。14 他用以利亞身上掉下來的外衣打水，說：「耶和華－以利亞的神在哪裏呢？」打水之後，水也左右分開，以利沙就過來了。 15 住耶利哥的先知門徒從對面看見他，就說：「感動以利亞的靈感動以利沙了。」他們就來迎接他，在他面前俯伏於地。(列王紀下二1-15)
1 When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. 3 The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?” “Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.” 4 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, Elisha; the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho. 5 The company of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.” 6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them walked on. 7 Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground. 9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied. 10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.” 11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two. 13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. “Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over. 15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him. (2 Kings 2:1-15)
分享：上星期《ChatGOD》提及以利亞為神戰勝巴力先知後，卻不似預期的換來王后耶洗別的追殺；但神不單讓天使照顧他的飲食，更引領他到何烈山，親自顯現，又給他好些超出預期的任務，其中一項便是膏以利沙接續他作先知。結果在同一章，以利沙便回應呼召，跟隨和事奉以利亞。 (參列王紀上十九)
以利沙的再次登場，已經是好幾章後耶和華要用旋風接走以利亞升天的時候。儘管老師一而再、再而三的要其停留等候，但以利沙都堅持跟隨，以神立誓永不離開，從吉甲跟至伯特利、耶利哥和約旦河。以利亞問他能為以利沙做甚麼，以利沙便求：「願感動你的靈加倍地感動我。」(列王紀下二9下) 以利亞讚許他所求難得，但感動的靈是神賜予的，若以利沙能看到他的離去，便得著神的靈。以利沙後來果然目送老師在火車火馬的簇擁下乘旋風升天；接著以利沙以老師的外衣分打約旦河水，以致日後多行奇事，神蹟數量甚至雙倍於以利亞，我們便可知以利沙所求的蒙神應允。
你是否有給以利沙的決心和膽量所驚訝呢？老師以利亞是甚麼人？他能夠一人在迦密山上戰勝四百五十位巴力先知。以利沙不單知道老師所行的大事，更知道那些神蹟背後的秘密 —— 神的靈，故大膽求神的靈加倍地感動他。以利沙不單是亦步亦趨地追隨老師，更希望倍得神的靈之感動，在那個敗壞的世代裡為神加倍地作工。
現今的世代比起以利沙的時代不遑多讓，只是我們不單欠缺追求加倍的感動和福份的膽量，有時甚至連自己想要甚麼也不知道。「你們要先求祂的國和祂的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。」(馬太福音六33) 求神讓我們有更多的膽量和氣魄先求祂的靈加倍地感動，決心在這個時代為祂作更大的事！
反思：如果神問我：「你要我為你做甚麼？」，我夠膽求甚麼呢？
禱告：親愛的天父，感謝祢透過以利沙祈求神的靈之加倍感動，讓我得著鼓舞要先求祢的國和祢的義。求聖靈加添我的膽量和氣魄，不要害怕向祢求大事。奉主名求，阿們！
