Ministering: Pastor Aev
(Pastor in charge, Fruitful Vine)
Theme: The Holy Spirit
Text: Act 1:8
Message:
The Holy Spirit is one of the Trinity. 'Tri' means three.
Trinity significe - The God that is one but expresses himself in three.'
This has a little similarities with the traditional gods put up as god. Most of the gods they worship were molded as trio. They usually have the feature of having the image of a father or husband's stature, wife and another statue as child.
But this is not thesame with the Trinity, this representation is the kind that is one, that is the three are not different and all God.
Some believe that the Holy Spirit is not God. Some believe he is a power, a force that God uses.
The Holy Spirit is God, God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit works together as one.
This was demonstrated in the baptism of Jesus Christ in Matthew 3:16 and 17 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
The Trinity was fully represented.
Jesus speaking also says, baptism should be in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
This is because Trinity must be represented for the work to be complete.
The Holy Spirit is God can also be described in the fact He share same attributes with God:
1. God is Omnipotent: the Holy Spirit also share this attribute.
2. God is Omniscient: The Holy Spirit also share in this attribute.
1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
The Holy Spirit is all knowing.
3. God is eternal: The Holy Spirit is eternal too. We have experience the three dispensations of God. God the father, God the son and now we are experiencing the dispensation of God the Spirit but all are still thesame and are doing same work in the life of a child of God.
Let me give you a little illustration: Do you know that as a father, your son carries everything that have been constituted in you?
Yes, he does. He carries every features in you in such that when you die, you will still be in existence as long as your son remain, and so on from generation to generation as long as your seed remain you are fully represented.
4. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is blasphemy against God:
Jesus speaking says; this was when the Holy Spirit was not already given, He testifying about him said "
5. God is a person and so is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not an it as people refer Him. He is a person.
The Purpose of the Holy Spirit:
Just like it was recorded about the purpose of Jesus that He came to save sinners (Matthew 1:21 and John 3:16)
The Holy Spirit comes to testify about Jesus.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
It's the work of the Holy Spirit to testify about Jesus in this place.
If you want to be empowered to testify about Jesus you need the Holy Spirit.
There are different ways the Holy Spirit empowers a man:
1 He can empower you with several gifts to be able to testify about Jesus.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
2. The Holy Spirit helps you to recognize sin. The work of sanctification is done by the Holy Spirit.
If you received salvation and the Holy Spirit is not manifested in you, you are yet to be sanctified. Because it is the Holy Spirit that gives you the power to maintain Holiness.
3. He gives you the boldness to preach.
Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
It is difficult to preach without the Holy Spirit. Evangelism is possible only by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Some think going out for evangelism reduces their status. But this is because they have not been empowered by the Holy Spirit.
4. He produces the fruit of the Holy Spirit in you:
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
If you don't have the fruit of the Holy Spirit even Marriage will be difficult for you.
You cannot even relate with people.
For you to live well generally there must be love, peace, patience...it is the Holy Spirit that can sustain a child of God in this world.
5. The Holy Spirit guides you in decision making:
Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
He does this so that you can see clearly and not be confused on any thing.
When He guides he gives peace in your heart, when there is peace then there can be boldness. You first have inner peace, then you have boldness and then you are guided well.
6. He comforts you: Even in times of struggles He will make you stable.
7. He transforms you: He transforms you from sorrow to joy, weakness to strength, from mourning to rejoicing. If you are still struggling in sin it is because you have not allowed the Holy Spirit to take over your life.
Who can receive the Holy Spirit?
1. A repented believer.
2. A true believer of the word of God. ゚viralシfypシ゚viralシalシ
