SUNDAY SCHOOL DIGEST — THE SPIRIT EMPOWERED LIFE
Memory Verse: “Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.” — Romans 8:9
Bible Passage: Romans 8:1–11
A Spirit-empowered life is one that is fully yielded to the control and influence of the Holy Spirit. God seeks believers who are hungry for His presence and willing to fulfil His purpose. Such believers become channels through which God's power, purity, and life are revealed to the world.
1️⃣ RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT
✔️ A Worthy Vessel
God willingly releases His Holy Spirit upon believers who separate themselves unto Him and desire to be useful in His Kingdom (2 Tim. 2:19–22).
✔️ Hunger, Faith and Prayer
Receiving the Holy Spirit requires spiritual hunger, faith, humility, and intentional prayer. Believers must continually thirst for God's presence and power (Acts 1:8).
✔️ Looking Unto Jesus
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made it possible for believers to receive the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Those who identify with Christ can experience His infilling (John 1:32–33).
2️⃣ BROKENNESS — GOD'S TOOL FOR EMPOWERMENT
✔️ Releasing the Treasure Within
God desires His life and power to flow through His children. Just as the alabaster box had to be broken before its fragrance was released, believers must allow God to deal with pride, self-will, and every hindrance to spiritual usefulness (Mark 14:1–9).
✔️ Complete Surrender
Brokenness is the submission of our will to the Holy Spirit. As we surrender to God's purpose, His power becomes evident in our lives and service (2 Cor. 4:5–7).
3️⃣ A SPIRIT EMPOWERED LIFE
✔️ Walking in Obedience
The evidence of the Holy Spirit's power is seen in those who love and obey God, just as Jesus did.
✔️ Living Victoriously
A Spirit-empowered believer seeks God's mind, grows spiritually, overcomes sin, self, and Satan, and allows Christ to be glorified through every area of life.
CONCLUSION
The Holy Spirit is the seal of our salvation and the source of spiritual power. As believers, we must continually make room for His presence through obedience, surrender, and daily fellowship.
