 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26 NIV

Is there anything that seems impossible to you this morning? Are you having difficulties in organizing your finances at the end of the month? Are you struggling on how you will be able to pay all of your bills on time?

Did you sleep awake because you were thinking of where you will get money to pay your tuition fees and at the same time to support your life at college? Do you have a teenage who has been behaving so badly in such a way you feel like you are starting to give up on him/her? 

Do you face difficulties in your love relationship whether marriage or struggling with a person who you think will be your lawful husband or wife? Is there any sickness which comes and go? Do you have any kind of addiction or spiritual bondage which cause you to lack the total peace in your soul?

This morning, God wants you to know that there are things which are impossible to men, but with Him all things are possible. He can make a way where seems to be no way, He can open the doors which no man can open and shut the doors of attacks from the enemy which no man can do.

Start your day by confessing that with God all things are possible; meditate these words in all this day till the hour you will go to sleep. Speak them in your spirit, believe that with God all things are possible. Walk in faith knowing all things will work together for good to you because you serve the God who can do everything.

HE SHALL CALL YOUR NAME

Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

John 5:28-29 NASB

One day you will hear a voice, it will be not like the normal voice which you used to hear throughout your life. This one will be specific for you, another person who has laid on your side may not be able to hear if he didn't have Christ in Him.

This voice will call your name that you need to wake up from your deep sleep for everlasting life. Jesus will call your name, He will call you from where you will sleep and you will be resurrected to inherit the everlasting life.

This is the will of God for you who believe in the Lord Jesus in this life. You have hope that your name will not be cut off in afterlife; on that day God will call it and the Spirit of Jesus will help you to raise up for everlasting life.

This morning, God wants you to know that your name has been written in the book of life. He will call it in the day that Jesus will come back to judge the dead and the living; and take His spotless and blameless bride, which is the church of Jesus Christ in this world.

God wants you to continue being faithful in your walk with the Lord. He wants you to continue putting your trust in Him no matter what life brings. Continue trusting in His holy name and one day He shall call your name and there you will know that your work was not in vain.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I'm coming before you by the blood of Jesus. Lord I'm asking that You may remember me in the day of your coming. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

OBEY HIM

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

John 14:23 NIV

Living Christian life is a battle, being a Christian means trusting the Lord in everything even if you don't see Him. It means to forgive even if you have the right to get revenge. It is not about you, but what the Lord wants for your life and His purpose for you.

It means less of us and more of Jesus, which in other means allowing God to lead us in the places which our own mind can't go. Our victory is obtained when we submit everything to the Lord, the rate which you submit yourself to His will, is the rate which you will win your wars in life.

It means staying away from sin, avoiding pride and live an honest life before God and men. This may cause constant wars within ourselves without mentioning what we face daily with the devil. Sometimes there are those desires to be confirmed with the things and the people of this world. Many choose to compromise from this precious faith after being criticized with friends and family.

This morning, God wants you to continue love and obey the teaching of Jesus Christ. He wants you to continue keeping the faith and be faithful in all things. He wants you to know that the battle is not yours but the Lord's. 

He will fight for you and stand by you if you will continue staying on your course. He will be with you and in you, He will work with you and through you. He will help you to overcome sin, living a godly life and make the right decision and choices. 

Sometimes He may feel like He is million miles away, but He is very near to you than your mind can perceive. Trust Him in the morning, obey Him in the afternoon, keep loving Him in the evening and praise His holy name in the night. God bless you.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may give me strength to love you more and more in each new day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

KNOWING HIM

“Be in harmony and at peace with God.

    In this way you will have prosperity.

Job 22:21 GW

There is great need of knowing God in the Church of Jesus Christ right now. People are moving back and fro that they may get to know something about Jesus, see something what the Spirit of the Lord can do in the lives of people.

Some people use this err in the history of the church to gain their own profit. They do the ministry for the sake of their own selfish desires. Many like to be seen, known and sadly many have entered into competition with the people of this world. Shamefully some of these people call themselves servants of God, but dirty the Church with their evil deeds.

The Bible is clear that the Lord would pour His Spirit in these days. That's why we witness even small children speak in heavenly language, young men and women teach the word, and great multitude of young people turn to the Lord. Forsaking their old ways and proclaim that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of their lives.

This morning, God wants you to know if you will seek Him diligently, you will find Him. You will find the whole truth about God, Jesus and His Spirit. You will understand what you suppose to live and act before all people. You will know the true teachers and the false ones.

The Lord will give you the ability to discern between the Spirit of God and the spirit of antichrist. You will be able to tell the difference between a true and false prophet, committed believer and the one who is for his own stomach. The Lord will bless you in the city and the Lord will bless you in the country.

You will have peace for yourself, peace which will be transferred to all who are around you. You will live with hope knowing that when you die, there is a place prepared for you. This God who cared for you while you were still in this earth, He will continue to do so even when you die after being received in His kingdom. What experience, what a joy we have in Jesus Christ.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may help me to know you more and more in each new day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

ROUND-TRIP TICKET

 Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones.

Jude 1:14 NLT

A Christian woman was once taking to a servant of Christ about the assurance of her salvation in Christ and said, " I have taken a one-way ticket to glory and do not intend to come back.'' To this the man of God replied, " You are sure going to miss a lot. I have taken a round-trip ticket.

I am not only going to meet Christ in glory, but I am coming back with Him in power and great glory to the earth. When Jesus Christ returns from heaven to destroy the Antichrist, judge the nations, and establish His glorious Kingdom on earth, He will not be alone. He will be accompanied by a great crowd; made of both angels and  redeemed human beings. All believers in Christ have a round-trip ticket. [THE END, p.g 385-386, Mark Hitchcock]

Every sinner is eligible to this round-trip ticket by means of repentance. We have many folks in these tradition religion who call themselves Christian but they still deny the second coming of Christ. Some agree with the truth, but don't do anything to prepare for it and many believe they will be saved when they die.

This morning, God wants you to know that now is the time to get your round-trip ticket. He wants you to know if you will die in sin, you will get one-way ticket to Hades where they will be no coming back. They will be judged with sinner and cast into the lake of fire where they will be crying and gnashing of teeth.

Get your ticket today, Jesus Christ is the ticket to see the Father, no one will see Him except through Him. If you have got your ticket, I just want to encourage you to continue living a holy life that your ticket may be valid till the day of His coming.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may give me strength to keep the word of your patience till your second coming. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

SHALL PASS

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,

And He who formed you, O Israel:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name;

You are Mine.

 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

Nor shall the flame scorch you.

Isaiah 43:1-2 NKJV

There are people who we met sometime in life and thought that they will be with us forever. These people had a great impact of our lives and meant a lot to us in such a way we couldn't know how will live without them.

Seasons came when we passed through difficulties and no one knew that we could make it, but at the end of the day those times passed. Good things came and go, and bad things came and go too. Friends came and left we get to know new people, environment and understand new things.

In all that circle of life there is a constant factor which is the same in all environment. God is there when you are down, will be there when you are up. He will be there in your darkest night, will not leave you in the bright of the day. He will be there in all days, and all the times.

This morning, God wants you to know that do not give up because that season shall also pass. Whatever you are passing through now, it is not by accident there is a purpose for that so just learn from that season. God will help you to get through no matter what the devil has brought you through.

Be encouraged, God is in control over your life. All things will work together for good to you; just continue to trust God and God will be with you in all seasons of your life. Start a day with hope knowing that God is going to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may give me strength to endure all seasons in my life. Knowing that You are in control. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

JESUS MIRACLES DOER

You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Acts 10:38 NASB

The Gospel is full of people who received miracles from the Lord. There was a woman with the issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, and when she touched the garment of Jesus was healed. (Luke 8:43-48)

There was a blind beggar Bartimaeus who received his site from Jesus. We see there the servant of Roman Centurion who was healed only by the word of faith from Jesus. There is a record of His friend Lazarus who was raised from the dead. We see Jesus calms the storm, by rebuking the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. (Mark 10:46-52, John 11:38-44, Mark 4:35-41)

He preached Gospel to people of all status and while doing so; He fed the five thousand men without counting women and children by five loaves of bread and two fish. He healed many who were sick, rebuked demons and cleaned the leprosy. He died on the cross, and on the third day He rose from dead and He is alive forevermore. (Matthew 14:13-21, Matthew 8:1-4, 14-17)

This morning, God wants you to know that if Jesus did all of those miracles for them, He is going to do for you too. Our Jesus saves, praise be to His name! He is going to rapture you from your present miserable situation and place of safety. 

He is the God of miracles, signs and wonders. The last time I checked He is still working full time to insure the safety of all those who have put their faith in Christ Jesus. He has been there from the beginning, He had never stopped or retired from His work of saving mankind from sin and hell.

Put your trust in Him this Sunday,  He is on His way to bless you and anoint your life with fresh oil of His Spirit. God bless you.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your Word. Lord I just want You to know that You are welcome to take your place in my life. Have your way Lord in me, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

THE DAY I MADE  UP MY MIND

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38 NIV

God is calling people all around the world daily, that they may go to Him. He sends His ministers of the Gospel to preach the Good news to all nations; that they may be saved from the sin and hell. He never gives up calling people of all languages and tribes that may repent.

This repentance invitation one day came to me, the Gospel was preached and it touched the inner most parts of my heart. I knew that I was separated by God and I desperately needed a Savior. My life was open before the Gospel of Christ, and I saw how of a sinner I was and how bad I needed salvation.

That day I made up my mind, I decided that I will follow Jesus for the rest of my life. Jesus washed my sins away, He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day. He taught me to live by faith, He built in me the desire to serve Him and help others to know the truth about the Gospel.

This morning, God is still calling you to commit your life totally to Him. Maybe you are a Christian, but lately you have not given your best to the Lord; for some reasons you have been compromising with the standards of this world. This is the your call, that you need to renew your vow to the Lord and walk in obedience to His word.

If you are still separated with the love of God, I'm here to tell you that Jesus is the way! He can reconcile you with the Father, give you a new beginning and happy ending if you will continue being faithful until the end. Make your mind today who you are going to serve, if this world which is going to pass soon or the Lord God the Father of Jesus Christ. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I have made up mind that I will serve you for the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

DEAD IN THE LORD

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

Revelation 14:13 ESV

Believers have been given to live the life of faith, leaning on the Lord, and trusting in His holy word. I'm one of the believers in this world right now: but I have the same testimony which other believers on the other parts of the world have, that God has never failed me yet.

There is a day I will die, there is a day you will die. If you are in Christ Jesus you will die in Him but if you are not of Him you will die in sin. Jesus is the only way to the Father, no one will be able to see the Father except through Him. All what we possess in this world right now, will be left behind and we will go with nothing but for believers will have Jesus.

One thing I have decided in this, that I will trust in the Lord till I die. I will keep the faith till that day my name will be called back by the God of glory, the Father of Jesus Christ. The Bible shows that if we die in the Lord will rest from our labors, whatsoever good we did in this world, will follow us.

This morning, God wants you to be faithful until death. He knows that it is the faith in Him which has brought you this far; without keeping faith in His name, the enemy would have taken you away long time ago. He wants you to continue being faithful, to continue staying in the battlefield fighting for your soul.

He wants you to continue treating everybody right, knowing that your deeds will follow you. If you will die in the Lord, blessed are you! You will inherit the kingdom which your Father has prepared for you since the foundation of this world. Keep the faith, and finish the race knowing that He will never leave nor forsake you.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may give me strength to be faithful till death. Help me to treat everybody right, and continue contending for the faith till I die. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

LIVING WATER

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

John 7:37-39 NIV

Man that is born of a woman has many desires which he needs to see fulfilled in his lifetime. In every stage of development of a person, there is constant desire to get more and more in life. There is thirst in a man which can not be filled with anything.

Jesus talked about the living waters first in the fourth chapter of the book of John. Jesus asked a Samaritan woman for a drink, and the woman replied by saying,''“You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans). Then Jesus answered her by saying, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(John 4:7-10)

Then Jesus continued by saying, ''“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life,(ve.13-14).” Jesus meant that the Holy Spirit will fulfill all the desires which the heart of man needs.

This morning, God whats you to know that His Spirit can fulfill all the desires of your heart. If you are filled with the Spirit of God, rivers of living water will flow from inside of you. This living water will heal others, brings life and light to the world.

There is contentment in the Holy Spirit, there is joy which no man can explain. You will experience a love of God which no woman can offer, there is peace which even money and wealth can not bring. Earnestly desire to have the infilling power of Holy Spirit in your life and you will work in victory always.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word. Let Your living water flow over my soul,

Let your Holy Spirit come and take control Of every situation that has troubled my mind, All my cares and burdens on to you I roll. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

FILLED WITH HIS LOVE

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Romans 5:5 NLT

There are those of us who came from rejected past, hurt with every kind of people who we came across in life. We have people who have been abused since their childhood, some were sexually abuse and mistreated with close members of the family.

This created in them low self esteem, they lived the life of fear. The fear of rejection was common in them and other decided to be people pleasers that they may gain acceptance. Due to daily torments of their past, the concept of love in them because like scientific fiction, it was something which they will not get in their lifetime.

The Bible talks about the Spirit of God, the Spirit who fills the hearts of believers with His love. The Bible says, ''Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love drives out fear. It is punishment that makes a person fear, so love is not made perfect in the person who fears. So we see it is the love of God which can drives away all the fears of your past, knowing that you are forgiven and their is condemnation for you again.

This morning, God wants you to ask His Holy Spirit to pour His love in you. You need to know that He is the one who can fill your heart with the love of God. The love of God will take away the fear in you, there will be confidence that God will take care all of your needs and the evidence in your spirit that at the end of the day victory is yours.

The love of God casts out fear, it gives a person confidence, it comes with the peace which surpass all understanding. It is the love which changes a sinner to a saint, a looser to a winner. It is the love of God which teaches us to love others like the way we love ourselves. Give the Holy Spirit a chance in your life, and it will never be the same again.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your Word. Lord I'm asking that You may pour your love in me through the Holy Spirit whom you have given me. Fill me by your love that fear may gain no access in me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

HE IS NOT WEAK

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

Acts 4:31 NIV

In the fulfillment of time, the Lord Jesus started His earthly ministry in Nazareth by saying these words: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He said that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him, and He anointed Him to proclaim good news to the poor.(Luke 4:31)

This means the anoint which Jesus had during His ministry was not from himself, but it was the Spirit of God who enabled Him to do everything. Peter the Apostle witnessed this when He was in the house of Cornelius, ''how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.''(Acts 10:38)

When they accused Jesus that He was casting demons by using Beelzebul, the prince of demons. Jesus answered them by saying,''“Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.  If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Matthew 12:25-26, 28)

This morning, God wants you to know that the Spirit of God is as powerful as God the Father and the Son. He is not a weak part of God, He is God Himself in the form of Spirit. He is the Spirit which govern the Godhead. He is the one who performs all the works among men and changes the lives of multitude who obey the message of the Gospel.

The Spirit of God is not weak, He is more powerful than you can think and imagine. He the one who anoint powerful men and women of God for ministries. He is the one who perform signs, miracles and wonders through servants of God. He is the mouthpiece of God, He speaks the message of the Gospel through many who work for the kingdom of light.

Most of  tradition Christians think that He is of no importance, but I'm hear to tell you that He is the coordinator of everything which we do under the sun. If you want to succeed in spirit and flesh, you need to have Him every second. To the Spirit be the glory.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I'm coming before You by the blood of Jesus. Holy Spirit have your way in me, come and fill me with your presence. Come and teach me to walk according to the word of God and to live in His will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

HE UNDERSTANDS HOW YOU FEEL

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

John 14:16-17 NASB

Holy Spirit is the person, He can love, hate, feel, rejoice, grieved and and quenched. He loves those who love Him and those who seeks Him diligently will one day find Him. Since He is the third person of Holy Spirit, He has characters which a individual person can have.

When the Lord said He will come to help us, He meant that the Spirit will understand all things which we are going through and able to help us to overcome them. He knows how you feel, He was inside of Jesus and He knew exactly how Jesus felt. 

When Jesus felt compassion of the multitude and did miracles before them; it was the Spirit of God who felt what Jesus did and gave Him power to do those miracles. Jesus was one percent a man but in the mean time because He was full of the Spirit of God, He was one percent God too. 

This morning, God wants you to start your day by sharing with the Spirit of God everything which grieve your soul. He is the person who you can listen to, He is the friend who you can trust. He is the relative who can not betray you, He is closer to you than your own heart.

You may be asking yourself how can I share things with someone who I can not see or even feel? The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God. What you need is to have faith that the Spirit of God lives in you. Start by saying words like Good morning Holy Spirit, Hi the Spirit of God, I welcome you in my heart, may you please come that we may talk.

When you say those kinds of words, start sharing all that makes you sad. Tell Him about people who take you for granted, things which you struggle to forgive. Share with Him about all bad memories which kept on roaming in your mind. Then ask Him for advice and that He may talk to you. If you will need to go somewhere this morning, just ask Him to go with you and tell Him you will continue with your discussion later and He will understand and wait for you.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may give me the grace of hearing your Spirit. Help me to have faith that He is with me and He understands all hardships which I face in this life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

THE LEADING OF HOLY SPIRIT

During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”  After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

Acts 16:9-10 NIV

This was Paul's Second Missionary Journey, Paul was travelling in Roman provinces and the Spirit of God had forbidden him preaching the Gospel in Asia. Later he reached to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. (Acts 16:6-7)

The Spirit may have led Paul and his companions in any of a number of ways: vision, circumstances, good sense or use of the prophetic gift. Then we see during the night Paul got a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." The Bible says after Paul had seen the vision, they got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called them to preach the gospel to them.

God closed the doors of the first few cities because He had an open door for them in Macedonia. In Macedonia (present day Greece) is where the Church of Philippi was born, and the church of Thessalonica. This shows that sometimes the Spirit can show us the way of our lives and ministries by closing some doors, allowing some friends to leave and make us to loose some influence that He may take us directly to our purpose.

This morning, God wants you to be sensitive to follow the leading of the Spirit. It is not necessary the Spirit of God will speak to you through vision at night, or maybe a prophet or prophetess in your local church. But sometimes He uses small voice in your spirit, circumstances and good or bad sense.

He will not give you peace to do or go on with the plan which is not His. He will give you peace to do all the things which are according to His will. One thing to remember is that the Holy Spirit does not go against the scriptures. Any kind of leading which He will give you, will be according to the word of God.

That's why we measure or discern dreams, visions, revelations and ministerial works of people by the word of God. Anything which someone who calls himself/ herself a Christian do will be measured and confirmed by the word of God. Meaning that someone can not say or do anything which is against the Scriptures and claims that it is from the Lord.

One thing to remember when it comes to discern spiritual things, you need to know and understand the word of God more accurately than a tradition Christian. You need to be in the Spirit in order that you may discern the spiritual things. You can not use experience, your own feelings or carnal mind to discern spiritual things. May the Spirit of God be with you always.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your Word. Lord I'm asking that You may help me to understand the leading of your Spirit. Give me to hear Him more clearly, to understand His movements, and to follow His timing. I love You the Spirit of God. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Morning with Ebenezer

LEARN TO HEAR FROM INSIDE

 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

John 16:13 NIV

God spoke with the people in the Old Statement through different ways. One day He called Elijah to the mountain, and the Lord passed by, then a great and strong wind tore the mountains apart and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind.

After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire a still small voice. God spoke with Elijah in a still small voice that day. This was the prophecy that in the New Statement God will speak with people through a small still voice of Holy Spirit. (1 Kings 19:11-14)

There is a great advantage for people of God to learn to hear from inside of their spirits. The Holy Spirit is always giving basic instruction about this life and reveal secrets of God in our spirits. One of the work of Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus in us. He glorifies Him in our spirits that we may understand the work of Jesus on the cross and His all plan of salvation.

This morning, God wants you to start learning to hear the voice of Holy Spirit inside your soul. If you will start listening to Holy Spirit from inside, your life is going to change. You will no longer depend on advice from friends who have mislead you all those years. You will not follow the ways of your parents which have proved failure and caused the whole family to go against the will of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit will teach you all the truth you need to know about the Gospel. He will reveal the things yet to come to you if you will be attentive to listen to His voice. He will tell you which people you need to associate with and the ones you need to stay away from.

He will help you make sound decisions, and alert you before evil come in your way. He will teach you to love God, to love your neighbor as yourself and to walk in honest and purity. He will help you to understand your purpose in life and give you strength to go after it.

GET WISDOM

Wisdom is the principal thing;

Therefore get wisdom.

And in all your getting, get understanding.

Proverbs 4:7 NKJV

There is a certain quantity of wisdom that comes with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says wisdom is the principal thing, this means wisdom should be first thing in your life in order you may succeed in everything you do. We see that Jesus was anointed by the Spirit of wisdom, Jesus did not anoint Himself but was the work of Holy Spirit.(Isaiah 11:2)

Holy Spirit anointed people with the Spirit of wisdom to do different things in the Bible, (Exodus 28:3,31:2-4). Joshua was filled with the Spirit of wisdom when Moses laid hands on him, (Deuteronomy 34:9). Stephen was filled with wisdom of the Spirit and people could not stand up against him as he spoke, (Acts 6:10)

Wisdom will help us to make sound judgments, make good decisions, and choose good choices. For ministries wisdom is needed with their daily dealings with people and the problems which God uses them to solve. Leaders need wisdom that they may not show partiality and maximize the gift of every individual in their circle of influence.

This morning, God wants you to ask Holy Spirit to anoint you with His wisdom. There are many choices which you made somewhere in your life which caused a lot of pain. If you would have the wisdom of God you would choice otherwise and never experience what you had.

Wisdom will help you to manage your finances well, to know where, when and how you will use your funds that you may not stuck in the future. It will help you to prioritize the first things first and put the last things last. May God grant you wisdom.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer...

Jehovah God, I thank You for your word. Lord I'm asking that You may grant me wisdom through the power of your Holy Ghost which works in me. Teach me wisdom, and help me to apply it in my daily life that I may succeed. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

HE CAN DIRECT YOUR STEPS

And Paul and Silas passed through the territory of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the Word in [the province of] Asia.

And when they had come +

opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.

Acts 16:6-7 AMP

Nothing just happen, when the season comes, every purpose stands. God did not just left the world hanging somewhere in the space and continue with His business. He did not create a man and leave Him to live like the way he felt like it will be good.

He is the designer and author of every human story ever lived. He left His Spirit in this world that He may be the source of life and direct the steps of those who will put their trust in the creator of heaven and earth. Paul and Silas were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the Word in Asia, later they tried another place, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.

This shows that the Spirit was in control of everything Paul and Silas did. They were in flesh but they received all the directions of their lives in the spirit from the Holy Spirit of God. Paul and Silas finished their work and they died, but the Spirit did not die and He is still at work even to this day. 

This morning, God wants you to let the Spirit of God to direct your steps. There are many things which you wanted to happen to you this year but they did not happen. In one way or another you are disappointed because you asked God to prosper you in those things, but still things went wrong.

I just want to encourage you that God permitted them to go south or not to succeed because He had a better plan in mind. He knew that if you will end up with that man who you were believing God for; you will end up in abusive relationship that's why he did not allow that relationship to stand. Be encouraged knowing the Spirit of God is in control over your life.
