TOPIC: ROLE OF THE HOLY GHOST IN THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER
TEXT: John 14:16-17
KEY VERSE: Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

We are in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit but many believers are yet to derive full benefit of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Church. The Holy Spirit was sent by Jesus as helper and guide to the church in this troubled era. Some of the roles of the Holy Spirit in the church are: 

a. To guide believers into all truth (John 16:13). He is called the Spirit of truth who reveals the truth about God, His word, His salvation, His judgment and every truth of righteousness that will prepare the believer for heaven.
b. To teach all things (John. 14:26). He is our teacher. He illuminates and expounds the word of God for our perfect understanding and spiritual maturity.
c. To comfort (John 16:7). To comfort us in time of needs, tribulation and trials while God works out a solution.
d. Brings all things to our remembrance (John 14:26). “All things” means not only spiritual matters but also secular issues.
e. To testify of Jesus (John 15:26). The Spirit works within us to do what is necessary to deepen the awareness of the presence of Jesus in our lives, and love him more.
f. To convict us of sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:8-11). He is the voice of our conscience that rebukes us whenever we do wrong.
g. He guides us into all truths (John 16:13; Rom 8:14): He leads us by inner witness.
h. He shows us things to come (John 16:13-15). He is the one that gives the revelations of Jesus.
i. He is the Christian seal. Mark of God’s ownership (Eph. 1:13 – 14). 
j. He is our sanctifier (Rom. 15:16; 1 Peter 1:2). An experience subsequent to salvation.
k. He intercedes for us (Romans 8: 16 – 17)
l. He is the Giver of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:7–11). He distributes spiritual gifts to believers to profit the church.
m. He produces His fruit to enable us develop Christ-like characters (Gal. 5:22 – 23).

Thought for the day: God cannot be served in human strength. Let the Holy Spirit lead and direct.
Song for the day: Spirit do it again … Do it again in my life
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 12-14; Luke 9:37-62

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
