WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU CANT SURVIVE

WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT......

Searching the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, you realise a truth, a profound truth, an undeniable truth: No man and woman can have any tangible impact in the Kingdom without the Spirit of Life.

 The Bible says " the Spirit gives life and the flesh profits nothing. The Bible is just a story book when the  Spirit of Life is absent in the preacher or the one who reads the Bible.

The Bible said the following about John, the Baptist "for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord" Luke 1:15-16

Please understand that you can be highly successful according to human stardard without the help and ministry  of the Holy Spirit.

Any preacher that tells you " without Jesus Christ you can't be rich in gold, silver, dollars.naria, yens, euros, pounds is ignorant of the dynamics of wealth creation on the  earth.

The Bible says the produce of the earth is.for all-even kings are enriched by it. God has put in His creation everything needed for comfort and wealth. The Earth as a planet is a gold mine to anyman/woman who has faith to harvest it's wealth to him/herself.

"Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. Eccl 5:9

Also, you must know that you can have the largest Church in the Universe yet the Lordship of the Holy Spirit is absent in your congregation..

You may  preach beautiful sermons and talk about Chtist without the Spirit of Christ and multitudes may still gather to hear you.

The Bible says in the last day, men will gather to themselves preachers who will tell them what their itching ears wants to hear. 
It means that some preachers will not tell their listeners the truth written in the Word rather they will use certain portions of the Bible; quoted out of context to coat teachings and interpretations that pleases their listeners but does not get such listener closer to God.

Luke 1:15-16 says John the Baptist will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before his birth.
But the part l love most is " ...FOR HE WILL BE GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD....

Wow, it means greatest has different dimensions and measures. The Bible spoke of two men, kings to be precise, and l will allow the Scriptures to speak for itself.

And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. Acts 12:21-24 and Daniel 4:1-28

These are beautiful stories of two Kings who were worshipped by men on earth but when measured on heaven's scale, they were found wanting.

True greatness in the Kingdom is discovering the purposes and plans of God for you and executing them through the leading and anointing of the Holy Spirit. 

You can either run your ministry by Kingdom principles or by the principles.of the world.

Satan was.ready to give our Lord Jesus fame, riches, glory if only He would bow down and worship. 

The Enemy does.not mind if you run your ministry as.long.as your practice is based on fleshy satanic principles and not the principles.of the Kingdom.

Many men are great in the sight of men, they are highly esteemed by men but in the sight of God, they are mere men who have achieved so little or nothing for the Kingdom.

Your greatest and most important audience is the Almighty and Christ, your Saviour.

"Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Psalm 24.

It's not enough to have clean hands which is the part seen by men but we must also have a.pure  heart which is seen only by God but manifest outwardly through our actions.

We cannot bear fruits that endures without the Holy Spirit. Truly, we are saved because Christ became our substitute.and our righteousness is of the Father  and not by mere works.

But the same Apostle Paul who got the revelation of Righteousness by faith wrote that we must walk in the fruit of the Spirit and obey  the Spirit leading to inherit the Kingdom.

The righteousness of Christ is not a license to continue living a life of disobedience to His Word.

We must cultivate a relationship of absolute obedience to the Spirit to please the Father 
TO BE CONTINUED.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth.. Jesus Christ , the LORD said in John 6 " I can of myself do nothing, every of my actions is initiated by the Spirit. Jesus. Christ ensured that His thoughts, mind and heart is filled and full of the Word of God so that whatever He says and do, it is an offs
