A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Gal 6:7-8)

Life of Elisha: Following in Elijah’s Footsteps One of the things we sow is an influence. Conclusion Although their ministries were different, both were called of God to serve in the capacity of a prophet.
