ARE YOU LED BY THE SPIRIT?

-

Isaiah 59:21"

As for Me," says the LORD, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants," says the LORD, "from this time and forevermore."


Romans 8:14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.


We know that the only way to be God's child is our believing in His Son and accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour then He now lives in us by the Holy Spirit.


John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.


John 1:12

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name:


Revelation 3:20

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.


Acts 2:38

Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.


All these we may know but does it stop at the point of salvation or is it an investment we do then walk away waiting for the interest to accumulate?


The Holy Spirit dwelling in anyone who is a child of God is an everyday experience, He is available to guide us in all we do and He builds us up daily in the character of God which is


Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.


The Holy Spirit builds our spirit to display these true nature of God. Then He further empowers us with His gifts to excel in our endeavours, edify the church and minister salvation to others.


1Corinthians 12:7-8

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,


If Daniel who lived at the time the Spirit only visited could manifest the Spirit of God and do exploits. We who received the indwelling of the Spirit at the new birth should do more.


* He is available to help us pray even when we don't know what we ought to pray.


* He is available as our advocate.


* He reveals the will of the Father to us.


* He leads us to win souls to God.


* He remains as our comforter and friend.


* He also helps us excel in our earthly business, work and even study.


And because He is a gentle Spirit we most times forget He is there, but once you yield to Him He leads you on and there is never a regret following His leading.


Our salvation was by the Holy Spirit, He convinced us and made us submit to God through His Son Yeshua Hamaschiac, "Jesus the Christ". It will then be odd for us to have believed by faith in the leading of the Holy Spirit then go on living our lives in the flesh which is now dead.


Galatians 3:3

Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?


Yes it is foolishness to walk in the flesh when you were saved by the Spirit. 


It is time to awaken!


Are we conscious of the Spirit of God in us?


We come back to God today, we throw away all the garbage. I see the Holy Spirit leading us to fulfil the purpose of God for our lives.


PRAYER

Loving Father help me to be fully conscious of Your Spirit in me, pleasing You in all things. I know You Lord therefore I do exploits in all areas of my life. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@ the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
