*SPIRITUAL DEVOTIONAL*
*by Shepherd Angel Ehinomen*
HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD
“And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd. And the LORD said unto Moses, take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him.” (Numbers 27:15-18)
I have written before that the spiritual realm controls the physical. God took control of His spirit that was upon Moses and put the same spirit upon Joshua. God did not stop there, He asked Moses to lay his hands on Joshua, so that some of Moses’ honour would be upon Joshua. Let me stress the following, one more time: Spiritual things and spirits, good or bad can be transferred through the laying on of hands from one person to another and manifest in the physical in no distant time, therefore, I advise you to exercise utmost discretion when it comes to those you allow to lay hands on you.
In the case of Joshua, the spirit of honour was transferred from Moses to him. God wanted to paint a picture of Moses in Joshua so that when you see Joshua, you have seen Moses. Consequent upon that spiritual transfer, Joshua began to command honour and respect from the Israelites, as Moses did.
Up until that point, it was possible that Joshua did not command much respect from the Israelites, but immediately after Moses laid his hands on him, he began to command respect, not by force, but by the Grace of God that had come upon him.
You must have the spirit of God which is the spirit of excellence to enter and possess your promised land.
