The Ministry of the Spirit.

on May 22 in Uncategorized tagged by admin

Nothing you do will be acceptable to God or make lasting impact expect you do it by the Spirit. No matter your purpose in life, without the inspiration of the Spirit, you cannot achieve much.

The Bible reveals in
Hebrews 9:14 that Christ had to offer Himself up through the Spirit. During His earthly ministry, He couldn’t do anything except with the Spirit and through the Spirit.

Jesus instructed His disciples in
Luke 24:29, to wait in Jerusalem until they were filled with the Holy Spirit, because He knew they needed divine enablement to accomplish the task He had given them. He referred to the Holy Spirit in John 14:10, as the one that works through Him to perform miracles. He said “…the Father that dwelleth in me He doeth the works.” In the same way, the miracles, signs and wonders recorded in our ministry, and the tremendous impact we make all around the world are in no way by human efforts. They are works of the Spirit of God; we have learned to work by the Spirit and through the Spirit. And that’s how your life ought to be as a Christian.

You have to be filled continually with the Spirit in order to be consistent in your walk of faith, and demonstrate the miraculous.
The Apostle Paul wrote to the saints in Rome saying,
“never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning in the spirit, serving the Lord” (Romans12:10-11). He also told the Church in Ephesus to be filled with the Spirit.

Make up your mind to do everything by the power of the Holy Spirit, and not by your human ability. That way, not only will your service to the Lord be acceptable and sanctified by Him, you’ll also make more enduring impact with the Gospel.

He Causes You to ‘see’

on Mar 29 in Uncategorized tagged by admin

A man without the Holy Spirit is like a blind man. He may not know it, but that is what blindness is all about. A blind man cannot see light and beauty. It is the same thing in the realm of the Spirit. A blind man in the realm of the Spirit is one who doesn’t know or understand spiritual things; he cannot see the things of the Spirit.

One very important aspect of the ministry of the Spirit is that he causes us to see and John 16:8 substantiates this: “and when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment”.

The word ‘reprove’ is the same as ‘convict’ and it embraces a number of Biblical expressions in its meaning. Originally, it’s derived from two Latin terms meaning ‘cause to see’. In the New Testament, the words ‘reproof’, ‘conviction’ and ‘illumination’ are used to communicate the ministry of the Holy Spirit whereby He causes the individual to ‘see’; He causes him to understand truth.

When the Holy Spirit comes into your life, you will no longer be blind because He will cause you to see. Every Christian needs to depend on the Holy Spirit to help him understand the truth and respond to it accordingly. There can be no Christianity without the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the Life Giver

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of life! This is why the Bible says, “He shall quicken (give life to) your mortal body” if He lives in you.
The unregenerate man who is yet to receive the Holy Spirit abides in spiritual death. Everything he does culminate in death because of the absence of the Life-giver, the Holy Spirit.

Now, it doesn’t matter how deep in the valley you find yourself; you may have just lost your business, your finances are in the red, and now you think your whole life is over. What you need is to be more acquainted with the Holy Spirit. He will raise you from the financial prison, the same way He raised Jesus from the dead. He will revitalize your business and produce divine health in your body.

He will bring life into every area of your life! If you are born again and have received the Holy Spirit, He will make you fruitful and productive in every area of your life.

Get to know this wonderful Holy Spirit and fellowship with Him, so that He can be fully manifested in you. Give Him the opportunity to remove everything associated with death from your life, and give life to your physical body, finances, marriage, business, job, and everything else that concerns you.

The Person of the Holy Spirit

on Oct 07 in Uncategorized tagged by admin

The Holy Spirit is a person and not a thing; He’s exactly like Jesus. He doesn’t receive power from God, neither is He less than the Father or less than Jesus. He is the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father (John 15:26). If you went to heaven, you wouldn’t find Him outside the Father because He is in the Father. On earth, He is everywhere. Why is this so? It’s because everywhere you go as the child of God, the Holy Ghost goes with you, and His presence rubs upon everything that concerns you.

He is the one who teaches you God’s Word and reminds you to pray. Do not think it is your mind that tells you to pray or rings the reminder bell. It’s not your mind that tells you – you haven’t studied the Bible or reminds you it’s time to go to Church. No! It is the Holy Ghost. This is the reason you must learn to listen to him. He calms your spirit when you are angry and tells you everything will be all right. He gives you hope.

It is important for you to recognize his ministry in your life. You will loose too much if you don’t. You may be at a crossroad in your life right now and asking “where do I go from here?” You need a guide to lead you, and that guide is the Holy Spirit. Knowing Him and walking with Him is the key to that successful life you have always desired. He brings you into your inheritance and your destiny in God.

Filled with Power!

Have you ever been to a newly constructed house? The electrical fittings are in place; the sockets, light bulbs, chandeliers; but because electrical current is not yet flowing, these electrical accessories wouldn’t work. Even if other appliances like radio, refrigerator or television are plugged into the sockets, they wouldn’t work as well. This is because there‘s something missing, something very important which should activate all the electrical appliances and accessories, and cause them to work. That thing is called ‘ELECTRICITY’. You became the house of God the day you were born again. (2 Corinthians 6:16). You were already wired; all the fittings were in place. But the power came when you received the Holy Ghost. That’s the difference!

“And now I will send the Holy Spirit upon you, just as my Father promised. Don’t begin telling others yet-stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”(Luke 24:49 The Living Bible)

The Lord Jesus was in other words telling His disciples, ‘You cannot carry out my instructions without the Holy Ghost.’ He knew it would be impossible to live the Christian life without the anointing, because Christianity is the life of the anointed.

If you want to be effective in your life, you need this power brought by the Holy Ghost. The moment He steps into your life, you become anointed, because He brings the anointing “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you…” (1 John 2:27); it’s there now, you already have it; the anointing is at home in you already! This is why you’re so different from the rest of the world. You’ve been endued with power to cause the necessary changes in your life. Make use of that power today!
