(Sixth part)
Memory verse (Gal5: 18) “ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law ”.
When we are baptized in the Holy Spirit and we keep up the habit of building up our spirits, then it becomes easy to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The scripture says that after Jesus had been filled with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit led him into the wilderness (LK 4:1-19). You know what fills you that controls your life. When a person is drunk, he can do anything because of the alcohol. When people are full of food, it controls them and makes them sleepy. When people full of anger, lust, hunger etc they will do anything, because of what fills them. The same is true with the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me and he has anointed me to preach the gospel…… From the day the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus, he never returned to his father, (Joseph’s) house, he followed the Holy Spirit until he finished his mission on earth.
The Apostles in the upper room were filled with fear, but when the day of Pentecost came, they were filled with the Holy Spirit and the story changed. They were full of the boldness, faith, anointing and they went everywhere preaching the gospel, healing the sick, raising the dead. Surely they changed their generation. It’s time to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit in our lives, families, ministries and businesses. God send the Holy Spirit, to guide you, to comfort you, to help you, to empower you, to help you live a victorious life in this wicked world. As you follow the Holy Spirit, he will show you God’s plan for your life. He will help you to live the life God created you to live and to fulfill your purpose in life. He will show you right people to follow; he will show you traps of the enemy and help you overcome them.
As you follow him, he will help you as a husband to become the best husband you can be to your wife, he will help you to be the best minister you can be, he will help you to be the best father you can be to your children. Things will turn around when the Holy Spirit takes charge to lead your life in this world. He is a good leader. He is a good master. He knows your destination and he knows the way there. And he makes the way very comfortable for you. Thank you Father for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit.
Nice weekend and see you next Monday
