TEXT: "And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things."-Acts 5:5

A ghost is the spirit of a dead person that a living person can see and hear. Any one who gives up the ghost, like Ananias did, dies, Job 14:10. And the ghost will go up back to God who gave it, Ecclesiastes 3:21; 12:7.

Right from the days of Adam, man has been giving up the ghost: in Genesis 49:33, Jacob yielded up the ghost. In Job 10:18, while lamenting his predicament, Job wished he had given up the ghost. This has been the situation from Adam until Christ.

In his first advent, Jesus Christ also yielded up the ghost, Matthew 27:50. However, his ghost came back to his body, John 10:17, 18. That was the reason his body did not see corruption like others, that gave up the ghost, in the past, Acts 2:31.

In the plan of God, the Almighty intended for man to live for a Day, which is also a thousand years before God, 2 Peter 3:8. Man will live for nine hundred and ninety nine(999) years and three months, before he will give up the ghost. The remaining nine months are for conception and delivery. Man will spend nine months in the womb, and when he comes out of the womb, he will spend the remaining nine hundred and ninety nine(999) years and three months outside the womb, making a total of a thousand years.

But sadly, man lost out because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve. And because of man's transgression, God fixed the age of man's flesh at a hundred and twenty years, Genesis 6:3. This means that the human flesh(the body), that would have survived for a thousand years, then subject to renewal, can only survive, on or before or a little above a hundred and twenty years, and then expires, when man gives up the ghost, that is, when man dies!

Today, when somebody dies, if the death occurs, let say at age fifty, the ghost or the spirit does not go up to God immediately. Although the human body is buried and will return to dust. The spirit of the dead person will continue living on earth as a ghost, until the remaining seventy years are expired, that will make it a total of a hundred and twenty years, then the ghost or the spirit will take another human body through birth, and continue living. The ghost or the spirit will only go back to God after it has completed the one thousand years assigned to it by the Almighty God.

This process will continue until the year 2133 when the original plan of God for man will be restored. Man will no more give up the ghost because man will live for eternity.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.
