If you don't know this story, you should read it, because it is very good...
Elisha wanted a double portion of Elijah's anointing... everyone knows that Elijah was a great prophet of God...
Elisha was committed to this cause... he WANTED that double portion and he went after it...
2 Kings 2:9
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

he was not about to be detered at all...
it happened more than once...

And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
Elijah would say to Elisha not twice, but three times... "you just stay here and wait for me... I'll be back later"
now these trips that Elijah was taking was not just down the drive way... and they didn't jump into their Lincoln Continental and ride in comfort to get there... it was a good walk in the heat, it was had nothing to do with comfort...
ELISHA WAS COMMITTED...
Elisha answered three times...
"UH UH... no way man... you ain't gettin' outa my sight... I don't wanna miss it... I'm with you wherever you go... get used to it man, I stick to you like glue"
(well, those are my words, not Elisha's, but wthe message is the same, that was essentially what he was saying)
and what happened??
2 Kings 2:11-15
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
[12] And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. [13] He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; [14] And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. [15] And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
