JOY

  JOY John 16:16-24  Devotional:- “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.” (V. 20) NKJV God’s word says when sorrow endures till a night, joy comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5). This is an assurance and evidence that what is called sorrow is not a permanent situation in the life of a child of God. This is because it is certain that when a night comes, morning is always the next. The night is evidence of the coming morning. This is evidence that what you are going through right now will soon result in joy. In fact, the tougher it is, the closer the joy. May you see it. The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope in our lives. Jesus said, our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall suddenly become a thing of joy. Jesus likens it to a woman who is in labour. Women in this state often feel as if the end has come. But ...

HOLY GHOST BAPTISM

HOLY GHOST BAPTISM

Scripture Reading Joel 2:28-32
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) NKJV

    For a man to regularly enjoy the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he must be baptized in the Holy Spirit. To be baptized in the Holy Spirit is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is because; it takes a cup that is filled up to overflow. To be inspired by the Holy Spirit is to be used by God to flow to others. The word of God says out of our lives shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:36-37).

Baptism of the Holy Spirit is what a believer must experience regularly. In Acts 2, the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit. In Acts 4, they were filled again. This is because, as we exercise ourselves in this world, we need to be refilled again and again. Not because the Holy Spirit can decrease, but it is our level of connection that needs to keep increasing.

To receive the Holy Spirit is by asking in faith that Jesus will baptize you (Luke 11:13). To be baptized is to be fully immersed into the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is everywhere. So, as soon as you ask, He comes into you. He then gives you the utterance to speak the language of heaven (Act 2:4, 1 Corinthians 14:2). Just continue to speak till you are totally immersed. Then, He will always inspire you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, envelope me into your spirit afresh

“IT IS WHAT FILLS YOU THAT DRIVES YOU”
