ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT
…but be filled with the Spirit
Ephesians 5:18
Main Text:
Nothing in this world can be compared to the presence of the Holy Spirit in a man’s life. The big difference between a believer’s life and that of unbelievers (those who are yet to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour) is the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Joy of the Lord can only swim into your life when you are filled with the Spirit of the Lord. Sorrow and bitterness of heart can never be expelled except you allow every space and vacuum in your life to be filled with His presence.
The truth is you are in charge of your life. You can either allow or disallow the presence of the living God. Your lifestyle and attitude will go a long way to determine if the Lord will love to reside in you. If you truly want the joy of the Lord to radiate through your life and take over you, you will have to permit the divine presence of God in your life. If the Lord is there, the devil will have no room to operate. If you are experiencing unending seasons of pain and sickness, all you need to do is to invite the God of all comfort to take charge and dispel every appearance of evil and fear in your life. If your marriage is not what you dreamed it would be, call on the Spirit of the Lord to sanitize every corner of your home and work on the heart of your partner and in-laws. With God filling your heart and your home, you will soon discover that the devil can only threaten but once he knows you are permanently on the Lord side, he will back out. Beloved, let His power from on high fill your home and your plans. Start dwelling on His word and give Him room to rule over your life. You can’t remain the same after a genuine experience with the Spirit of God.
Prayer: I will not reject your presence in my life O Lord.
