Elijah discipled Elisha for a divine assignment that was prescribed by God. Elisha, however, needed to change the course of his behavior from the very obedient servant to a persistent and "bugging" apprentice in order to take hold of his mantle, although it was preordained.

You had a mandate right from when you became a Christian. However, there is a maturity process needed to lay hold of your mantle. Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and Beyond the Jordan are key places of spiritual significance, which lessons are nuggets for a Christian's maturity quest. This book brings that alive, calls you to partner Elisha to follow Elijah to take hold and unleash the authority in the mantle God has ordained for you. It's a personal quest for every believer who needs to take hold of a mantle without which his/her growth is stunted.
