2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14.  God tells Elijah to anoint Elisha to replace him as a prophet to the people of Israel.  When the people of God need a new leader, God is on the job.  God made it clear that as exceptional as Elijah was, God’s plans did not depend solely on Elijah.  Likewise, God’s work doesn’t depend on any one pastor of a church, or on any individual leader within the church.  God continues to raise up new leaders, sometimes even leaders blessed with a double portion of their predecessor’s spirit.
