OPEN HEAVEN 24th DECEMBER 2019 TUESDAY: THE PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT

MEMORISE: But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. – (Romans 8:11)

BIBLE READING: EPHESIANS 1:11-14 (KJV)

11. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will;

12. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

GOOD MORNING BELOVED, COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON FROM ALL OF US HERE

DAILY CONFESSION: Nothing can keep me bound where God doesn’t want me. I live in divine liberty and soar higher and higher above whatever challenge, physically or spiritually. The grace of God is abundant in and through me because I am the product of grace and the alpha and omega is in control every day I live in Jesus name. Amen!

MESSAGE:

When our Lord Jesus Christ was leaving earth, He promised that He would send us a Comforter who would teach us all things (John 14:26).

That Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, came on a certain day of Pentecost, and He has been with the Body of Christ ever since then (Acts 2). The Lord sent Him to serve as His representative in our lives, and His ministry in us is so invaluable.

His presence in a man’s life is transformative and empowering, so much so that those who don’t have Him or who are not full of His presence do not know what they are missing. He is such a precious partner in accomplishing the will of God for our lives in this world.

When a person becomes born again, the fellow suddenly begins to feel an unusual peace within. That is the effect of the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in that person also begins to sound an alarm whenever he or she is about to commit a sin.

Such a fellow has a choice to either ignore this warning or take heed. If you are a child of God, I am sure you experience this whenever you are about to commit a sin.

My advise is that you yield to His warning, because the Holy Spirit can be displaced from a person’s heart. If you often ignore His voice, you will soon realize that you cannot hear Him anymore.

If you continue living in sin, He will leave and other spirits will take His place (Matthew 12:43-45). May you never experience this in Jesus’ Name.

Not only does the Holy Spirit help us to live a holy life, He also teaches and helps us to pray (Romans 8:26). Prayer is a way of communicating with our heavenly Father, your relationship with Him will become strained, and you will soon find yourself doing things that are contrary to His will.

Hence, it is important to pray regularly. However, many Christians would rather talk about prayer than pray. The Holy Spirit always nudges us to pray. Whenever you feel this nudge, please go to a separate place and pray.

Sometimes, it’s not that you don’t want to pray, you just don’t know what to say when you start. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in such moments. Lastly, what distinguishes our lives as Christians is the fruit of our character.

The Holy Spirit influences our character through the manifestation of His fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23). He helps us to live a life filled with love, joy, faith, patience, peace, gentleness, goodness, meekness and temperance.

Consciously cultivate a relationship with Him and He will manifest more of His precious works in your life.

In this festive season, let the Holy Spirit guide your steps, speech, actions and motives.

HYMN 

WHEN THE POWER OF GOD

1. When the power of God descended

On the day of Pentecost,

all the days of waiting ended,

they received the Holy Ghost.

CHORUS:

O Lord send Thy pow’r just now,

O Lord send Thy pow’r just now,

O Lord send Thy pow’r just now,

And baptize every one hour.

2. Tongues of flame came down upon them

and they preach’d the word in pow’r,

Listening multitudes awakened,

turn’d to God that very hour.

3. We are waiting Holy Spirit,

we are all of one accord,

Lord fulfil just now the promise,

that is given in Thy word.

4. Fill and thrill us with thy presence,

grant the blessing that we need,

Flood our souls with wondrous glory,

while the pray’r of faith we plead.
