LOVING BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, 1 John 4:7-13

MEMORY VERSE: John 14:26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT: He is the third person in Trinity. The Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as God. He has feelings, emotions and will. John 16:13-14, hence a person, not a force or things as some belief holds.

How do we know that the Holy Spirit is a person? We know this by the characteristics or attributes.

  1. The Holy Spirit thinks and knows. 1 Corinthians 2:10
  2. The Holy Spirit can be grieved. Ephesians 4:30
  3. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us. Romans 8:26-27
  4. The Holy Spirit is our comforter and counsellor. John 14:16, 26. John 15:26.
  5. The Holy Spirit makes decisions according to His will. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11.
  6. The Holy Spirit can be sinned against. Isaiah 63:10
  7. He can be lied to.Acts5:3
  8. We are to Honour Him. Psalm 51:11
  9. We are to obey Him. Acts 10:19-21
  10. The Holy Spirit empowers God’s people. Zechariah 4:6
  11. The Holy Spirit guides us. Romans 8:14
  12. He was involved during the creation. Genesis 1:2
  13. He teaches us. John 16:13.
  14. The Holy Spirit is Omniscient. 1 Corinthians 2:10-11.
  15. He is Omnipresent. Psalm 139:7
  16. He is eternal. Hebrew 9:14
  17. The Holy Spirit leads us. Luke 4:1.

How can the Holy Spirit help us to love?

  1. The Holy Spirit helps us to love our enemies. Luke 6:27-28
  2. The Holy Spirit helps us to love the sinner while we hate the sin. See the case of Mary Magdalene.
  3. The Holy Spirit helps us to speak the truth in love. Proverbs 15:1
  4. He helps us to speak with maturity and wisdom. Acts 25, 26.
  5. He keeps us away from anger.
  6. The Holy Spirit helps us to do the impossible. Matthew 22:37-39.
  7. The Holy Spirit produces love. Galatians 5:22. The rest of the qualities describe the first (Love). This love (Agape) helps us to love someone who mistreats us.

SCRIPTURES TO CONSIDER:

Luke 4:18-19, Acts 10:38, 2 Corinthians 3:17, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, Romans 13:8-10, Rev 22:17, Matt 27:37,

PRAYER POINT: OH LORD, MELT US TOGETHER IN ONE LOVE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

 

JESUS THE SOON COMING KING.

SONG: HE IS ALIVE AMEN /2X, JESUS IS ALIVE FOREVER, HE’S ALIVE AMEN.

CONFESSION OF SIN; HEB 10:17 

AND ALL THEIR SINS AND INIQUITIES WILL I REMEMBER NO MORE.

ANCHOR SCRIPTURES: MATTHEW 24:36-39, MATTHEW  25:13.
MEMORY VERSE:1ST JOHN 5:11.

GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON.

 WHO IS JESUS CHRIST?

He is God himself that became flesh and dwelt among His creation; what a mystery. He came personally to deliver His creation; the creator humbled Himself to deliver the creation from the ocean of sin.

Our Lord Jesus Christ left transgenerational footprints of love, peace and joy to humanity. The Holy Scripture says, greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus Christ the soon coming king died for the whole world. Why? So that we will reign with Him eternally in His kingdom. Beloved, please repent today and drop every habit and character of hellfire in your life.

A man can receive nothing except it’s been given to him from above.

Jesus Christ is the divine gift from above to humanity to deliver humanity eternally from the satanic nature of sin, addiction, unforgiving heart as well as bitterness towards your fellow human being. The Holy Scripture says, he that loveth not his brother abideth in death. (1 John 3:14).

PROPHETIC PRAYERS.

  1. Holy spirit my everything,  give me the grace not to be left behind at the end of my race in Jesus name.
  2. Grace upon grace to love Jesus every day of my life, oh Lord let it continue to be upon me in the name of Jesus Christ.
  3. Holy Ghost fire,  detach my destiny from the evil pattern of my father’s house in the name of Jesus. AMEN.

A call to surrender:

Brethren, Jesus Christ our lord and saviour love you. Invite him into your life today. Surrender totally to him and be eternally free.

Remain Spirit-filled in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 Your friend and brother in the school of the Holy Spirit,
