MOUNT ZION AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GOD

MOUNT ZION AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GOD

Understanding a subject matter is crucial because we will be prone to error without it. Lack of understanding will lead to abuse and whatever you abuse cannot profit you much. We are the household of God, the sons and daughters of the most high God. We are joined together with Christ as one family. Households can be described as a tribe, a clan, a unit, or a group of people living together and related by blood. Mount Zion is referred to as a church both in the Old and New Testaments. We are the church and not the building but the building is very important because it is a symbol and it creates comfort. Assembly simply means the gathering together of people in the same place for a common purpose; that is, the meeting place. God has chosen Mount Zion which is the church to be His meeting place where He meets with His people. The general assembly refers to the gathering of the sons, daughters, and saints of God both in heaven and on earth and all the hosts of heaven in Mount Zion. That is why it is called the City of Angels, the Holy City, the new Jerusalem.

Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Just like in a normal household where parents and their children live; even though things are being done together, everyone still has a personal relationship with their Father which determines the extra bond between that child and his or her parents. In the household of God, we the family are to gather together in a holy general assembly and have joint meetings with God the Father, the Son the holy spirit, and all the hosts of heaven. We all know that no important personality goes anywhere alone; it is rare; they usually go out with their entourage. God the Father does not come to the general assembly alone, He goes with His entourage which are the hosts of heaven. The hosts of heaven include Jesus Christ himself, the Angels, the spirits of just men made perfect, and the blood of Jesus which is the blood of sprinkling. In Mount Zion, the table would be set and everyone's needs would be met accordingly. Every meeting has an agenda and your request is part of the issue of discussion but if you are not there, who is going to present your case on your behalf when everyone is focusing on their issue? Friends, do not be deceived. It is very important to go to church. When you are going to church you are not going there to meet with mortal man, not at all; your going there is not to meet with the Pastors, Priest, Reverend, or any other person. The Pastors are there as a guide to interpret the law and make you understand the constitution so that you will know your rights as a citizen and also how to conduct, present, and position yourself to possess your possession. So, anyone who tries to convince you not to go for the general assembly has denied you the opportunity to meet with all the hosts of heaven. It doesn't matter how small the church is, God said wherever two or more are gathered in his name he will be there; He is saying that as long as the agenda of the gathering is to fellowship with Him He will be present with all His entourage. One may say, Nene, but we are the church, yes we are. That is why He said when two or more of us gathered for the fellowship it became the meeting of the general assembly. For Example, I am a Nigerian nobody can dispute that because I can prove it, so anywhere I go since I have not changed my citizenship I will still be identified as a Nigerian. But there is a country called Nigeria and the citizens of that country are what make up the country and not just the land. If all the Nigerians that dwell in Asia gather together to have a general meeting the welfare of the Nigerians living in Asia will be the issue of the discussion. The same way when the Zionists gather together in the general assembly to discuss the welfare of the Zionists who dwell here on earth. If you need healing you will be told how you can take advantage of the law to get your healing; you will be told your right to divine health as a Zionist. The book of the law which is the constitution of those that dwell in Mount Zion will be interpreted to you by the priest as the spirit-led. God will give the priest the passage that the Holy Spirit wants to discuss in the general assembly. The exhortation positions us to receive our package for the day. The topic for exhortation is part of the agenda in the general assembly and God usually sends it ahead of the meeting by revelation. The priest who is the interpreter of the constitution would be the one to receive it but as an individual, you can receive the same ahead of the meeting depending on your relationship with God or how in tune you are with the Holy Spirit. 

Acts 7:44 (Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. 46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 47 But Solomon built him a house. 48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?) 

Mount Zion is an appointed place of meeting for God and his people; it is also called the Tabernacle of Witness; it is a sacred place. 

Psalm 74:2 (Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt).

We are redeemed by the Lord; we have been purchased by God through the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus. We are the church, Mount Zion, God's dwelling place but until we keep ourselves holy and sacred we cannot claim that God is in us. We are God's holy congregation and chosen people. To be part of this family one needs to be born again; Friends, hurry up and apply for a citizenship card by praying his salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

NENE ISAH,
