SOME FUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Psalms 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

King David had the honor of being the first person to make know to us the intention of the Godhead to allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within us as an individual, not a prophet, in a permanent state. This was only a revelation to King David. This was to happen after the price for sin was paid and the triumphant resurrection of the Lord had occurred. The Holy Spirit was a promise made to the New Testament believers. It was a priceless honor given to all who believe in the lord Jesus Christ. It is pertinent to note that King David had more than once experience momentary prophetic utterance of event that would have been a reserve for the Major Prophet, Why would David plead with God almighty not to take away the Holy spirit from him, but the holy spirit was not living within man at that time so why. David must have repented and forgiven before he penned this psalm. God influenced his thoughts and inspired him to utter Him, the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it is right to say the writing of those psalms was not immediately after the visitation of the prophet. Days or even months must have elapsed, and he had prayed and asked God for forgiveness before this time, hence the prophetic revelation of the gift of the Holy Spirit that will dwell within man. Let us remember God will never reveal His thoughts to a man with unconfessed sin in his heart, for God is a Holy God.

Comes in a measure: The spiritual thing about this wonderful person is that it comes in measure ad one can build on this measure to the brim, hence being full of the holy spirit. Luke 4:1 And Jesus, being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

ACTS AS A GUIDE: still in the book of Luke, we see the word LED. Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God; they are the sons of God. He does not lead many today. That is why we make a lot of mistakes concerning decisions in our personal or matrimonial life. The cramming the whole bible is not how we are led but the place of the holy spirit is to lead us into the will of God concerning our personal choices if we are willing.

EXCLUSIVE GIFT TO ALL BELEIVERS Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

A PROMISE KEPT: Acts 2:3-4 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

LIVES WITHIN YOU: Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

A PERFECT COMFORTER: John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

A TEACHER WITHIN US: John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

I want to stress and emphasize a basic fact; that the Holy spirit is a person and not a force. He is the third member of the Godhead. see John16:13, again He was used in Jesus announcement not It. That is why he can talk to you, guide you and comforts you. Do you have the holy spirit living in you? if not now is the right time as you read this.

MARANATHA!

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total turn out will come from the North. 35 percent do no go to church, the rest belongs to one denomination or the other. Now tell me, have they pr

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS[2]

  MUST ATTEND A CHURCH THAT BELIEVE IN PROSPERITY . The pupilt is what tranforms and build a man. When a pupilt is powerful with the word of God it translates into the life of the people in the pews. When a pastor receives a word concerning healing, prosperity, faith in God, whatever he receives when delivered like a good messenger, not missing it it will robs off on the congregation; that is a church. It is not all the time that God may have a specific word for the church , but it rests on the pastor to give the word like he ought to. See  Romans 1:16,  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. When the word from the pupilt is weak it will give birth to lukewarm christian who are neither strong nor weak. see  Revelation 3:16,  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.If you are really active in your local church then w

THE CHRISTIAN STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS

  Today, we round up this series. I hope the Holy spirit will expand these seeds in you, for indeed, the word of God needs illumination through the working holy spirit. Teachers only ignite the flame and the Holy spirit illumines it to those who are willing. Jesus, our lord and savior, refers to the word of God as the seed which the sower sows, but what makes it grow is the holy spirit which you invite through meditation on the word and allowing it to guide you on every day.   Joshua 1:8,  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. May God bless you as you read. WHAT IS INYOUR HANDS IS ENOUGH FOR GOD TO STAR T. What should always elates the christian is that God does not place a high demand on us in any way; God Started and completed, the work of salvation.  Hebrews 12:2 ,
