Topic: You Need The Holy Spirit.

Memory Verse : John 16:15. Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is mine and reveal it to you.

Bible Reading ‘ John 16:12-14 TPT. Key Verse: v12.

“There is so much more I would like to say to you, but it’s more than you can grasp at this moment. But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will unveil the reality of every truth within you. He won’t speak his own message, but only what he hears from the Father, and he will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. He will glorify me on the earth, for he will receive from me what is mine and reveal it to you.

When Jesus Christ lived on earth as a man, he came for a purpose and that regulated everything he did while on earth. By the time his work of preparing for his early disciples for the work that laid ahead of them was done, he began to prepare their mind for the next phase of his assignment. They were very uncomfortable with the fact that he was about to leave to return to the father. They enjoyed his presence and wanted the party with the most popular man that ever live to continue. Because they were sorrowful, Jesus began to let them understand first that his going was to prepare a place for them and those that will believe through their work, so that they can also be with him and the end of their earthly journey. “My Father’s house has many dwelling places. If it were otherwise, I would tell you plainly, because I go to prepare a place for you to rest. And when everything is ready, I will come back and take you to myself so that you will be where I am.” John 14:2-3.

All he was saying didn’t make much sense to them because of the pain of loosing his physical company. Now he had to take a step further to assure them that once he is gone, he will ask the father to send the Holy Spirit to continue with them from where he stopped. That was the reason they had to wait in the place of prayer right there in the upper room till they were filled. From that day, everything about the early disciples changed. Where they lacked boldness, they received it to the point that Peter who denied Jesus when he was about to be crucified, boldly stood to defend the gospel and preached the message of his life at Pentecost, and about three thousand souls were taken into the kingdom in a sweep. ““Then God exalted him to his right hand upon the throne of highest honor. And the Father gave him the authority to send the promised Holy Spirit, which is being poured out upon us today. This is what you’re seeing and hearing!” Acts 2:33.

Even in our own days the Holy Spirit is still at work to keep us company through the journey of life. He is here to teach us things of the kingdom, so that we can have understanding. He is the revealer of all things that are true from the presence of the father. His presence in our lives is a promise kept, as he provides us comfort through his timely instructions in every situation we find ourselves. Today we need to realise that the greatest gift God gave man outside Jesus who died for our sins is his Spirit. We have to value his presence and take best advantage of him to have a good life. In doing this, we have to overcome every distractions and laziness as to develop a close walk with him. This will certainly make our lives less stressful and more productive is every department through the wisdom of God he makes available to us daily, when we walk with him. “When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father!” John 15:8.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for keeping your promise and giving me your Spirit to live by. Help me to build a close relationship with your Spirit in my daily life. Thank you for making my life most fruitful and rewarding in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 18:1-14.
