THE SPIRITS OF JUST MEN MADE PERFECT

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.


Having a scriptural role model is very important to every believer even though all the kingdom giants in the scripture are our role models. There should be a character in the bible that you admire so much and you just want to be like them or achieve the same result he or she accomplishes in their relationship with God. The spirit of the just men made perfect is the spirit of the saints of God in heaven. God does not reinvent the wheel. They are our mentor who has gone to be with the Lord but there is no distance in the spirit. That is why whenever God is going for the General Assembly meeting he goes with them to give impartation to anyone who is craving and thirsty for the same spiritual gifts. Luke 1:16 (And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord). The spirit of Elijah was at work in the life of John the Baptist and the Spirit of Moses manifested in the life of Joshua. If you want to manifest what Paul the Apostle manifested you need to crave for the same grace and during the meeting of the General Assembly he will come and impart you with the same gift. Impartation means transference of a spiritual gift; that is, you enter into the labour of another person; someone has paid the price for the gift you desire and all you have to do is make your request known to God, prepare yourself as a vessel of honour and He will impart you with the same grace. Abraham is known to be very obedient to God's instruction; if you want to obey God the same way Abraham did then you need to be imparted with his kind of grace. The first thing to do is to study the lifestyle of Abraham and his work with God and then make your request known to God in prayer. I used to pray for the baptismal of the spirit of Holiness and servanthood in the order of Joseph and Daniel because I love the way they made a decision for righteousness and stood by it against all odds; guess what; the grace came. I learned from my Father, Bishop David Oyedepo that you can be specific in the kind of grace you desire. Remember, it is not by power nor by might but by the spirit of God (Zachariah 4:6). To live a holy life we need the indwelling of the spirit of holiness because it is not by our power but by the grace of God. The question is, as you go through the scripture, who among the giants of Faith is your role model? Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit of Elijah and he received it. 

Matthew 17:1 (And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him).

Friends, have you ever wondered what Moses and Elijah were discussing with Jesus; I believe they were there to impart him after he waited on God in prayer and fasting for six days asking for the strength of Moses and Elijah to face the forthcoming persecution. Friends, if Jesus needed impartation from the spirit of just men made perfect to fulfill destiny, then you and I need the same and can also access it by following his footsteps (Hebrews 12:2). So, the next time you go to church be conscious of the hosts of heaven and be aware that you are in a General assembly meeting where your case is going to be handled. In summary, don´t go to church casually, be serious-minded and prepare your vessel and keep it clean, ready to receive a spiritual gift. 

2 Timothy 2:21 (If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work).

No matter how often you appear in Zion for the General assembly you will not receive the impartation until you purge yourself from everything that defiles a man. Your matter cannot be part of the agenda if you are not a member of God's household; It is your responsibility to keep your vessel clean. Salvation is available for everyone but it is a personal decision to want to be saved. Jesus Christ is ready to receive anyone who would be ready to make this decision right now by praying this salvation prayer below and becoming a member of the household of God.


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,
