THE SPIRIT OF MEN

REASON WHY SOME BELIVERS DONT GO BEYOND THEIR MENTORS!
David wanted to face and fight the same battle that confronted The Nation of Israel. When David showed up at the Battle front, King Saul requested that David put on his own war armoury  but David refused. Instead he chose to confront Goliath with the weapons that God has equipped him with; God trained David's arms for war and his hands for battles and the lad went in the strenght of God that he is familiar with in the past.

 The same principle is applicable to believers requesting for the spirit of a Man of God to come on them. While it is true that Elisah requested for double portion of the spirits of Elijah, we understand that Elisha request was not for just the manifestation of the spirit of Elijah but for double portion of the anointing on Elijah. God had already told Elijah to transfer the continuation of the assignment of 'His prophet to Israel's  to Elisah and requested that Elisah be "Anointed". 

Elijah placed his mantle on Elisah but did not anoint him by pouring oil on him. Though Elijah was supposed to anoint Elisah to become a prophet as himself ( just as the LORD requested,) Elisah only became the servant of Elijah who poured water on his hands. It was when Elijah was to be taken away that the anointing was released on Elisah to function as a prophet instead of a Servant.

Stay in your area of anointing . Your calling may be slightly different from that of your mentor, Dont just operate in the spirit of your mentor, let the Holy Spirit anoint you for your peculiar calling under the ministry of your mentor.

Christ In Your Heart

Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth.. Jesus Christ , the LORD said in John 6 " I can of myself do nothing, every of my actions is initiated by the Spirit. Jesus.
