  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

GOD ON EARTH

GOD ON EARTH

Joel 2:27-32
Devotional:- "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions” (V. 28)

    God gave His word to His people through Prophet Joel that He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. This prophecy became fulfilled from the day of Pentecost. Before this time, the Spirit of the Lord rested on few people who are used by the Lord to carry out different assignments for God. God gave a promise that He will pour out His Spirit on all to cone to be on earth and live on earth through men.

Since the day of Pentecost, God the Holy Spirit has been permanent on the earth just like Jesus was on the earth physically at a time. The strong revelation here is that God is on earth in men. This is a mystery that God is on earth through human vessel (1Corinthians 3:16). That is why you as a spirit filled believer should know that you are a divine vessel of God.

Friend, wherever you are, God is there through you. It will therefore be wrong and grieving to the Holy Spirit by living as mere men (Ephesians 4:30). Many have grieved Him because they do not understand Him. Many take Him to be for the church time, outside that, they live as men and disobey the Holy Spirit at will. Please recognize you are a carrier of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to recognize you in me always.

“The world has not known God because you have not known Him”
