Holy Spirit 18- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 5

Image
By

The fear we are talking about here is NOT the kind that makes you to be afraid, but this fear means REVERENCE, WORSHIP, HONOUR AND OBEISANCE. The Spirit of Reverence is responsible for the worship of God. He commands OBEDIENCE to the Will of God. The timidity of the Omnipotent is the commencity of sagacity. Pro. 9:10, Ps. 111: 10. There is a connection between 'The Fear of God' and 'WISDOM'.

The Holy Spirit has been given to us to make us HOLY. It is the Spirit of Reverence that conveys the Presence and Holiness of God to us. This ministry of the Spirit of Reverence is seriously needed in the Church of today  where immoralities and corruption are spreading like wildfire in the harmattan. The sadonic thing is that the Pulpit Ministers that are supposed to be the quintessential  portraits of the Reverence for God are not exempted from this viral infection.

The kinds of things that go on in some denominations are disgraceful even to be spoken about. No fear of God. No wonder stealing, kidnapping, bombing, corruption and other social ills have lingered for too long in our nation because our God seems to be as powerless as we are. MUCH PRAYERS, LITTLE RESULT. This is our present state. Men that can command deliverance to Jacob are very few.

You can't try anything funny in the old testament. God's judgment would have knocked you out. Aaron lost his two sons in a day and he was warned not to mourn their death because they brought strange fire into the Temple. Lev. 10 : 1-12. Moses didn't make it to the Promised Land because he didn't sanctify/reverence God before the people. Num. 20 :10-15.

There is a mighty struggle today when it comes to obeying God because we didn't reverent, hallow and honour Him enough.
There are many that bear God's vessel today with unclean hands and hearts. Many liars and 'propheliars' abound in the Church today yet, they forget that Ananias and his wife were evicted from this planet because they lied to the Holy Ghost. Act 5:3.

DEFICIENCY IN GODLY CHARACTER IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM OF PENTECOSTALISM IN AFRICA.

Is it any wonder that we are where we are today?

The Spirit of Reverence has been put in the 7th Dimension because of His importance. If you lack the ministration of the Spirit of Reverence in your life and have the others, you will be powerful but lack character.
As a matter of fact, the authority available at your disposal will be Minimal.

Many believers are defenseless today because they lack the fear of God. Ps. 34 :7
Have you read PS. 34:9 before? 'O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him'.
 Many benefits abound in fearing God; PS.103:11,13,17, Pro.10:27,19:22, 22:4.
 Even the Preacher in summary says 'Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man'. Ecl. 12 :13.

There are realms in God that will remain mysterious to you because your level of reverence for God is not enough to qualify you for such things.

Everything in the Kingdom is NOT a gift. There are things that are given as a reward of obedience.
Cooperate with the Holy Spirit- the God who is at work within you both to will and to do God's pleasure- as He enables you to Fear, Reverence. Honour, Adore, Worship and Adore God.

Worship is not about the songs we sing, it is about our lifestyle demonstrated in our reverence for God beyond the Four Walls of the Church.Selah.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
