Scripture Reading: Job 32:1-9
Devotional
Verse –
“But there is a
spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them
intelligent” (V. 8)
Man in his
nature can only see the physical things but perceive spiritual things. Most
people have little or no understanding of the affairs of the spirit. Man needs
to realize that he is not just spiritual, but he is a spirit made in likeness
of God who is a Spirit (Genesis 1:20-27). It is important we know that man
receives from God through his spirit (John 3:27).
The word of God
says there is a spirit in every man but it is the breath of God that gives them
understanding. This talks about the impact of the Spirit in the life of every
man. It is by our spirit that we can connect with God because He is a Spirit
(John 4:24). We can therefore receive the ability to prosper by His breath
on us. His breath on us comes to inspire our mind to action. Our understanding
becomes receptive to information as the spirit breathe on us (Ephesians
1:17-18). This is how God empower us to prosper.
We will be able
to connect with God for this ability to prosper as we fellowship in His presence
regularly. This should be mostly personal time with God alone or with the
church (Psalms 84:7). That is why each of us as children of God should not joke
with the issue of fellowship with God. It is for us to contact revelation for
the strength of the spirit. This in turn makes us intelligence to prosper.
Peace!
PRAYER: Lord,
help me to enjoy the blessing of your Spirit
“YOU ARE HELPLESS WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE SPIRIT”
