Last night I read the most weird account of Elisha's ministry. Right after taken over from Elijah as prophet extraordinaire, he wasn't really that popular with the younger crowd. Well they was this bunch of young lads who came out and started calling him names. They called him 'bald headed' which i'm sure has some truth in it but nevertheless its how they said it I suppose. Well Elisha wasn't really that happy.

I really don't want to go into the details about how he responded with a curse and then 2 female bears (why female?) suddenly appeared and globbered all of them up, but you should read it yourself. It was gruesome and bloody .... Isn't it strange that a book so violent, can be the most read and best selling book in the history of mankind ? Well now you can save money not needing to buy Stephen King novels.

Popular Elisha may not be but anointed he was surely. Infact double the portion that Elijah his guru had. Most of the time we go with popularity and Christianity is not necessarily about being popular than it is about being His. When we are His, there will be anointing and we will have that special favor. Female bears may not eat up our enemies but circumstance will change and we'll be given anointing in other areas. In love, in peace, in patience, in self control, in all good things.

Best of all, we are given anointing that comes from Him who truly loves us.
