If God has chosen you to be a disciple to be consecrated and set apart for His use on a greater measure (2 Timothy 2:20-21), expect a clean break from the past like Elisha’s life. After Elijah threw his cloak around him, Elisha left his family behind to answer a call by the Lord to be Elijah’s successor. His actions were significant as he slaughtered the oxen, burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat, and fed the people before he left. He kissed his father and mother goodbye and then no trace of his former life that might have hindered him from moving forward into the call of God on his life.
God had to dismantle some things in order to reassemble Elisha and preparing him for the next phase of his ministry under the mentorship of Elijah.
It was the same with the disciples of Jesus who left everything behind to follow Him. In Matthew 16:24, Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
In Matthew 19:23-29, Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
He further added that everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.”

上帝得拆除以利沙生命里的一些东西,然后重新建造,并在以利亚指导下为他下一阶段的事工做准备。
这是与那些撇下所有的,跟从了耶稣的门徒一样。在马太福音十六章24节中,耶稣对他的门徒说:“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,背起他的十字架来跟从我。”
在马太福音十九章23至29节中,耶稣对他的门徒说:“我实在告诉你们:财主进天国是难的。我又告诉你们:骆驼穿过针的眼,比财主进神的国还容易呢!”门徒听见这话,就稀奇得很,说:“这样谁能得救呢?”耶稣看着他们说:“在人这是不能的,在神凡事都能。”
彼得就对他说:“看哪,我们已经撇下所有的跟从你,将来我们要得什么呢?”
耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们:你们这跟从我的人,到复兴的时候,人子坐在他荣耀的宝座上,你们也要坐在十二个宝座上,审判以色列十二个支派。”
他进一步补充说,“凡为我的名撇下房屋或是弟兄、姐妹、父亲、母亲、儿女、田地的,必要得着百倍,并且承受永生。然而,有许多在前的将要在后,在后的将要在前。”
