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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
