BE IN THE SPIRIT

-

John 14:16-17

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.
He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.


When Jesus was to physically leave the earth He said He promised that the Father will give us the Spirit and yes He did.


It is our duty to listen and obey.


We cannot afford to get so busy or occupied that we do not know when the Spirit speaks to us, many a stress and pain we could avoid and many a victory we miss when we neglect the Holy Spirit.


God gave us His Spirit because of His love for us, it is up to us to appreciate this love and submit to the Spirit's leading.


Romans 5:5
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


Our prayer life, bible study and good works is empowered by the Holy Spirit, He ensures we do it the right way. He knows all things.


Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.


How many things can we remember?  How many enemies do we know? To what extent can we be conscious?


When I pray, I remind the Father that I do not know much nor can I cover everything in my mind.


The Holy Spirit intercedes for us and when we "speak in tongues" He helps us pass our messages in codes and volumes to and from heaven.
He covers the ground we can barely touch.


The Holy Spirit does not disturb, neither does He bring confusion, those who tend to this attitude and dispositions and claim it is the Holy Spirit cannot be speaking the truth. All evidence in the New Testament about the Holy Spirit had order associated with it. Especially when He manifested in individuals.


Remember it is a day to day work, He doesn't finish His work just at a moment. Neither does He just appear in a crusade or meeting. He works in and with us everyday.


Do we have the evidence of Him in us.


Check!


Galatians 5:22, 23 & 25
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.


I see us awakening in the Spirit, all areas of our life will reflect His presence.


You have helped us Good Lord. Glory to Your name.


PRAYER
Loving Father I submit fully to the leading of Your Spirit. Lead me Lord and help me do exploits in all areas of my life. I am an asset in Your hand, Lord glorify Yourself. 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

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

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
