It pleased God so much that He uses the Spirit of Elijah 5 times in the Bible.
1. Elijah himself
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. (1 Kings 17:1 KJV)
2. Elisha who had a double portion of the anointing
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. (2 Kings 2:14 KJV)
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. (2 Kings 2:15 KJV)
3. John the Baptist preparing the way for the Lord
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. (Matthew 17:12 KJV)
4. Elijah for the second coming of Jesus Christ
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord : (Malachi 4:5 KJV)
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. (Matthew 17:11 KJV)
And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. (Mark 9:12 KJV)

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
