HOW TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT: DIVINE APPOINTMENT

Anchor Scripture: John 6: 63
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: . . . ."

Focus Scripture: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." - Jeremiah 1: 5

Admonition
Greetings from the Throne of Grace.

Another way, and which I considered the most potent and authentic means of receiving the Holy Spirit is by special divine appointment.

The other ways of receiving the Holy Spirit which we discussed earlier are often prompted, and could be obstructed and corrupted by man. That is the reason many people who have received the Holy Spirit and enjoyed His grace by manifesting may suddenly become empty and ordinary because of one thing or the other which they did contrary to the dictates of the Holy Spirit and because of which the Holy Spirit has ledt them. That's why we often read in the Bible that "the Spirit of God left him."

However, when the Holy Spirit is bestowed on someone by special divine appointment, they are often more resilient, potent and persevering. The most amazing thing about this means is that no matter how bad or sinful what the beneficiary did, the Holy Spirit doesn't live them. A handful number of men in the Bible enjoyed this special grace. They include, Samson, Jeremiah and our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

People who enjoyed this grace are usually chosen before they were born at all and they oftentimes have special assignments to execute for God. They may be aware of their being chosen and the required assignment or not. The percentage of these people who FINISHED STRONG is higher than that of people who got the Holy Spirit, but not through special divine appointment.

Finally on this this morning, it must be made clear to us that no matter how we got the Holy Spirit, what's mostly important is that the Holy Spirit of God is one and comes from God, the Father. Another thing we may need to be clear about is that there is no big or small Holy Spirit. It is either you have Him or not. So, it is futile praying "I want more Holy Spirit". Rather, our prayer should be "I want to grow in the Holy Spirit of God."

N. B. Please, pray that God will consider you for special divine grace and appointment in Jesus Christ's mighty name. Amen. 

WE MUST FINISH STRONG TOGETHER!

Till we meet tomorrow again on this beautiful journey of  FINISHING STRONG together, please, keep keeping on in Him.

Jesus loves you!

Hold On To Your Faith

Anchor Scripture: “ Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:” – Job 13: 15a Scripture References: Job 23: 8 – 12 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Another word for faith is TRUST. So, this morning, God is calling us to trust Him whatever our situations might be. The natural man will instinctually try as hard as possible to avoid pains and discomforts. However, the book of Job 5: 7 speaks a truth that is a common heritage of all humans. It says, “ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” And Job 14: 1 corroborates this truth, saying,  “ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” These are truth which no man has been able to disprove. Resting on these Scriptures, I do tell people during Bible classes that there is no man without his own trouble, no matter how little . And this is true irrespective of whom you are, what you have and or where you were born; we all have our own measures of troubles. The pro

UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD: Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Anchor Scripture: Isaiah 55:8   For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”   Focus Scripture: “ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3: 5 Scripture Reference: Numbers 14: 39 - 45 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit made known to us that what is called the Will of God is God’s plan or Wish for us as His children, and that these cannot be changed by anyone or anything if we stick with Him. Sometimes, we tend to believe in ourselves because of some things such as talents, ability, resources, knowledge and or wisdom. Because of these things and many more, we take decisions without honouring God in our thoughts. At the end, God makes a mess of whatever venture we embarked on. Such was the Israelites in Numbers 14: 39 - 45. As said yesterday, just as each man has a thought or will for themselves, so is God for every man.

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Walk in the Spirit

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ” –Galatians 5: 16 Scripture References: John 3: 1 – 8, 16 - 19; Romans 1: 18 – 32, 1 – 14; Galatians 5: 16 – 26; 1 John 2: 15 - 17 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit of God admonished us to watch the companies we keep because our association with them could make us do things that are contrary to the Kingdom’s choice. And an example was given of Jehoshaphat. May God help us in Jesus name, amen. Today, we are being told to “Walk in the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit was given to us as Guardian to help and keep us in and on the way to the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is a teacher, meant to teach us right from wrong and He helps us in making the right choices. Most often,
