2 Kings 2:13-15 (Amplified Bible) He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. And he took the mantle that fell from Elijah and struck the waters and said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? And when he had struck the waters, they parted this way and that, and Elisha went over. When the sons of the prophets who were [watching] at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
The miracle was not done in Elijah’s strength or Elisha’s own strength. It was not done in the mantle’s strength but it was done when he called out to God. How many times do you try to do things in your strength? Like a little child we insist on trying to do things all by ourselves. After we exhaust all other options then we call out to God as our last resort. When God is in control He will receive the glory, just like those prophets recognizing the same Spirit which had been with Elijah was now with Elisha. We not only need to relinquish control but give God the glory. It is time to give up your struggle of trying to do thing in your own strength and give Him the glory.
