DAILY GRACE
WEDS. 9TH NOV, 2016
TOPIC: THE HOLY SPIRIT 2
TEXT: ACTS 1:8
Dearly beloved, l pray for you that the power of the Holy Spirit from on high will descend upon you now in Jesus' name.
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Let's Continue from where we stopped yesterday;
2. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALSO A PERSON: This is to say that He is a living being who has feeling (can be grieved and happy too).
He possesses the great authority and power, but He is much more than the power which He possesses and is eminently worthy of respect and honour that we render also to God.
The following truths show that He is a "person";
a). Personal pronoun is used for Him in the Bible (John 14:16-18; 6:13-14)
b). He possesses the basic characteristics of a person such as intellect to think, sensitivity to discern and will to decide and make choices (Rom. 8:26, 1 Cor. 12:1).
He has the mind that knows what is in the mind of God-the Father, and God the Son (Rom. 8:27).
c). He is not impersonal. The following names were ascribed to Him, in order to symbolise the ministries He performs, even though He is much more greater than them (wind, rain, oil, fire, apron, water, heavenly language, etc).
d). His personality was expressed in 1 Cor. 12:11, Acts 16:6; 19:6; 13:2; 5:3-4).
The work of the Holy Spirit is unlimitable in a believer's life. He is a gift from God to live in believers and be with them forever, imparting their spiritual life and given grace to be established in faith (Acts 2:38-39, John 7:37-39).
The Holy Spirit is a free gift of God to us and our children' children. Hence, He is also an added advantage to every believer. He is a sure everlasting helper, guider, comforter, tutor and instructor given to you.
The question is, would you allow Him work freely in your life? The key is to trust and obey Him. *For those that are led by the Spirit of God are God's children*. You must be leadeable as a child of God, that you proclaim to be, otherwise you are none of His but only a rebel. May God grant you understanding and cause you to live to please Him. Enjoy your day!
Personal Confession: Holy Spirit, l choose to allow you work freely and unhindered in my life and destiny henceforth in Jesus' name.
Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
