“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Luke 11:11-13 NIV
I had a chance to go to one of the super center last night, people were so busy trying to grab this and that for their loved ones. Later I discovered that today is a Valentine's Day, and hence many exchange gifts as the sign of love which exist among them. We human, give gifts and receive gifts, we give love and receive it too. This shows that we care for each other, regardless of our evil nature.
The Holy Spirit has been given in the Church as the gift. Anyone who believes have been given Him the measure of the Spirit inside who acts as the helper, comforter, counselor, advocate, Intercessor, strengthener and standby. This gift was given by God to a lost man, after Jesus redeemed this man from sin, he needed power to overcome that sin and to be the witness of the change which he experienced in Christ, and thereby the Holy Spirit was needed to fulfill that purpose.[John 16:7]
Maybe you have seen people being filled with the Holy Ghost, you have seen the gifts of the Spirit operating through different men and women of God. You have been asking yourself how will I walk in such power and anointing like others? How do they got such power and understanding the things of the Spirit? They say that God has given His Spirit to the believers, so what should I do that I may experience how it is like to be led by the Holy Spirit?
This morning, God want you to ask Him to give you His Spirit in your life. God wants you to stop wishing, but to start praying. God wants you to know that if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ that he died and God raised him from dead, you qualify to ask for His Spirit to come over your life. He will help you to overcome sin and every kind of natural behaviors which are against the word of God.
The Spirit has been given, and as many as who ask, receive in every single day. What are you waiting for? There are testimonies of people who were filled by the power of the Holy Spirit inside their bedrooms, bus stops, while taking showers, in their cars, trains and many more places. You don't need anyone to lay hands on you, if you don't have any. What you need is simple faith, that the Word says, if we ask God for His Spirit, He will give Him to us..
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
Heavenly Father, I thank Your Word. Lord I'm asking that You may help me to put at work all that I hear You through your Word. Help me to be obedient to follow your commands and keep your laws. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
