(Second part)
Memory verse (Jn 14:16-17): " And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you ".
Many God’s children seek help where it is not. We seek last what God commanded us to seek first. Many are running to wrong sources. Many are seated at dry wells, many have built themselves dry cisterns and they have forsaken the fountain of living waters. How many have trusted helpless men for solutions. Jesus told his disciples that God was not going to leave them as orphans, i.e. hopeless and helpless. There is help for everyone who believes in Jesus Christ and that help is the Holy Spirit from God.
The Holy Spirit is the help you need because He is the Spirit of truth. He searches all things even the deeper things in the heart of God. He is the true helper because he knows the things you need to know, he knows the things to come, so you can trust him to guide you into your God ordained future. He is the help you need because he’s the one who can give you true comfort when you can’t find it anywhere else. He is the true help you need because he is the one who can strengthen your inner man with mighty power. He is the help you need because he is the one who can help you to overcome the works of the flesh that always steal you peace and joy.
Man’s help is limited but the Holy Spirit is unlimited. There are things that are impossible with men but there is nothing impossible with the Holy Spirit. Man is limited in his potency, but the Holy Spirit is omnipotent. Man’s knowledge is limited but the Holy Spirit is omniscience. Man’s presence is limited but the Holy Spirit is omnipresent. Some men are willing to help you but they’re not able while others are able to help you but sadly they are not willing but I have news the Holy Spirit is both willing and able.
Jesus left the church in the hands of the Holy Spirit, to guide it, to lead the church, to correct the church, to equip the church, to strengthen the church. So lean on him and your life will be different. Begin to trust him for everything and you won’t be disappointed. Learn to fellowship with him all the time and you won’t miss out on his help.
Tomorrow’s subject: “ The helper lives in you ”
