TODAY I will be talking to you on something very powerful — impartation! You see in athletics, there is a race called relay in which four people work together, passing the baton stick from one runner to the other with the ultimate objective of corporate winning. Just like in this race, spiritual things are also handed over from one person to another. Spiritual handing over of the button is called impartation.
Moses endured 40 years of difficult in the wilderness, trying his best to lead the people of Israel who were generally stubborn. However, despite all his suffering, Moses did not enter Canaan, the Promised Land. Moses handed the baton to Joshua. Moses imparted leadership skills to Joshua and thus he competently led the people into Canaan.
A prominent case of impartation in the Bible relates to Elijah and Elisha. In 1 Kings 19: 19-21 we see Elijah going to a plowboy, Elisha and casting his mantle on him.
Elisha was just an ordinary boy, but he surprised people by his subsequent decision and actions. He immediately slaughtered his oxen, cooked the meat and gave to people to eat. Thereafter, he started to follow Elijah.
Elijah transferred some spiritual elements to Elisha through the mantle; which totally changed his perspective of things. Elisha’s focus was totally changed.
These days, the impartation might not be through the jacket or mantle, but when the Holy Spirit hits you, your perspective of the world, aspirations and focus changes.
Elisha eliminated possessions he has to demonstrate that he was focusing on things that doesn’t require those things. To a worldly eye, it appears foolish to destroy what you have and devote your time to the spiritual things, but what Elisha accomplished in the Kingdom of God cannot be compared to the few oxen he killed.
I know when people come to church or when they meet a man of God, they always want to be delivered or healed. This is okay, but after healing, spiritually they remain the same.
However, impartation takes you to a higher level. Impartation transfers the gifts/ brings enablement that transforms your life and your family. From experience, I can safely say that there is nothing as valuable as impartation when it comes to spiritual matters.
If you read the Bible carefully, you will notice that Elisha actually performed more miracles than Elijah. Just before his translation, Elijah used his mantle to divide the River Jordan so that he could pass through. Interestingly, soon after the translation of Elijah, Elisha also went to river Jordan and performed the same miracle, with that mantle that Elijah had left.
Impartation is a powerful tool that will enable you to rise above your peers and friends. It brings excellence and distinctiveness. It brings supernatural enablement.
Impartation is more valuable than money, houses, etc. It provides the means to do and/or acquire many things. With impartation, you positively impact many lives.
In my life, through grace, I have done many things that I wish my sons and daughters in the LORD ought to inherit. I remember one day when I was driving a Ford Console, it ran out of fuel. My friend looked at the dashboard and noticed that it was red and started to panic because we still had a long way to our destination.
It was in the evening, and we were in a remote place where there was no fuelling points. I continued to drive the car until we reached our destination, but from a physical point of view there was no way I could cover the distance the car covered with an empty tank.
Right now, I always pray to God to impart such faith in people, so that they can come out from impossible situations. For with God all things are possible Mark 10:27
