Message: Creating Room for the Holy Spirit
Minister: Pst. Levi Odumodu
The Holy Spirit is our Helper, Strengthener, Provider, and Saviour. His voice is still and gentle. Distractions make His voice difficult to hear. Believers must intentionally create room for His abiding presence through spiritual discipline and fellowship with God. Abraham became a friend of God because of his obedience and relationship with God according to James 2:23.
1. Living a Life of Gratitude (1 Thessalonians 5:18, Luke 17:11-19, Psalm 92:1-2)
Believers must practice thanksgiving continually instead of complaining. Complaining weakens sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and hinders His voice.
“1 Thessalonians 5:18” declares: “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Thanksgiving changes spiritual atmospheres and becomes a weapon during difficult seasons. In “Luke 17:11-19,” Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one returned to give thanks. The thankful Samaritan received complete wholeness.
“Psalm 92:1-2” says: “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night.”
2. Complete Surrender (Matthew 16:24, Genesis 12:1-4, Mark 14:35-36)
Believers must surrender their will, emotions, desires, and plans completely to God.
“Matthew 16:24” says: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”
Surrender requires leaving personal agendas behind. Abraham demonstrated this in “Genesis 12:1-4” when he left his country and family in obedience to God. Jesus modeled perfect surrender in “Mark 14:35-36” when He prayed: “Not what I will, but what thou wilt.”
