THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT PT 2



Rev. Michael Benson  Ajayi
Acts 19:2. “He said unto them, have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.”

     The Holy Spirit is the most prominent personality to believers in the church- age unlike in the Old Testament where the Father was the most prominent , through Jesus Christ the concept of  sonship was introduced as a reflection of God’s desire for a family for which reason the Church was created .The church is a living mystical organism empowered by the Holy Spirit.
        He is the author of the scripture and the interpreter of God’s wisdom, the scriptures says in 1 Cor 2:9-10 NKJV But as it is written:".. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God” He was behind the writing of the holy scriptures through holy men and women ( 2 Pet.1:20-21) KJV says “ ... holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” .
,   He was involved in the creation (Gen. 1:2) He is the creator of the energy that drives the universe and actively  involved in the day to day running of governments through God's servants ( Moses and the 70 elders, Num. 11:14-17, 25-29 ,Joseph, Gen 41:38-44,)
     He is involved in social reorientation ( Eze. 36:26-28), and endows men with extraordinary entrepreneurial skills  through capacity building(  Ex 31:2-5 )
        Jesus is the word of God that became human flesh through the conception of the Holy Spirit (Lk. 1:35), it is easy to understand this when one considers that the text from this message is a  tangible manifestation of the product of an invisible but very powerful micro processor expressing the thoughts of the writer . Jesus preached by the power of the Holy Spirit (lk4:18) worked miracles through Him and was raised from the dead through  the Holy Ghost (Rom. 8:11)
           The old testament prophet Joel foretold of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the church in the last days (Joel.2:28) He gives the church privileged information about God’s kingdom (John16 :13) and empowers the believer with their individual  mystically coded prayer language to  avoid interference from the enemy(. Acts2:4, Rom,8:26). He is the generator of the spontaneous Christian Character needed to sustain relationships (Ga5:22-23). He is also the strength giver to do the extraordinary and our healer (Rom.8:11) and ready source of peace in a chaotic world (Rom8:5-6) and it is through His guidance that we fulfill the demands of the laws of God (Rom.8:4) and He is easily accessible to all who seek Him in faith. Luke 11:13 NIV says” If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"  As you read this now receive an undeniable encounter with the Holy Ghost in Jesus name.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

Image
 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
