The Spirit was before time began.
From creation, He was found brooding upon the face of the waters.
It seems as if nothing has the capacity to live without His brooding
The scripture, says it took God seven days to complete creation work
However, in the realm of man it’s looking like seven days but from eternity it must have taken heaven’s time
For example the scripture records in Rev. 10b “whose names are not written
in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”
Meaning that even before Jesus died on the cross in time, He has already been slain in eternity.
Taking a cue from my Father Apostle Edu’s message “the eternal studio”
The core of the message being that anything man plays out in time is
something already existing in the eternity of God
Gen.1.2 “And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters”
Are you a believer?
Do you know the Holy Spirit and do you have a personal relationship with Him?
He is the Life Giving Spirit
The earth and the world at large is deluged with so great darkness and dearth.
Even the staleness and stench of its fall from the physical down to the spiritual has sunken deep.
The Holy Spirit is the solution to the deadness of the world, the panacea to the despondency among mankind.
Then the presence of the Holy Spirit inside of us makes all the difference
John.14.16 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever”
One of the purposes of such abiding is to facilitate partnership and fellowship
Partnership comes from recognition and a knowing of who the Spirit is.
He has us at heart, He also has the prosecution of God’s will on earth at heart too.
So, partnership with Him would mean partnership with God and His eternal purposes.
And because He understands us, He is able to relate with us.
Note that when we give ourselves to the holy Spirit in Priesthood; we allow for His life to be dispensed.
The higher the intensity, the more the life being dispensed.
The Holy Spirit
It is outstanding to know that the Holy Spirit is a person.
Also, He does have emotions although He is not an emotional God.
His presence was very expedient for us to become like Christ
And so, Jesus when He was about to leave the earth gave us a surety of the coming of the “Alaos Paracletos”
A comforter of the same kind
He takes the things of Christ from the spirit and makes it a reality towards us as mortal men.
Hence, we are able to interact, relate and touch, comprehend and understand the spiritual things of Christ.
Aided by the cross, he lays hold on the substance of Christ and makes it real to us.
He makes Christianity organic and living.
The person of the Holy Spirit is very significant in our Christian walk with the Lord.
We must grasp that having no walk with the Holy Spirit is similar to having no walk with Jesus.
This is because He is standing in the stead of Jesus.
He reveals nothing else to us but Jesus.
He is our helper, our comforter, our teacher and everything.
These truths cannot be more overemphasized; they are really strong.
Conclusion
The believer has a flavor to give to the world, a light to shine out to the world.
Matt.5.13 “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?”
It then behooves us to know, that the only person that makes the believer give the right flavour is the Spirit
The more we allow Him find expression in us the more life we can give
What we have received is the ministry of life, and if so be it that we received a ministry then we have to minister
Hopefully as God depends on us life and not death.
