Sept 25                                                                    The Power of God’s Word
And we have received God’s spirit (not the world’s spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. -1 Corinthians 2:12(NLT)
EMBRACING THE SPIRIT OF GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you inclined to help others or satisfy yourself?
Are you bold to proclaim God’s word or do you play safe?
The people of God listens and hears God’s spirit
They follow his commands and faithfully live it.
It is the Spirit that tells us when we do wrong
He makes us recognize sin and not stay there long
God has freely given us many wonderful promises
We must allow the spirit to live in us so we won’t miss it.
Some Christians do not recognize the spirit of God living in them. If you have God’s spirit, you will get revelations from God. Derek Prince, a Christian preacher says that a believer hears God’s voice. The bible says that the people of God recognize his voice. How do they know his voice? It is God’s spirit dwelling in their hearts that helps them identify God’s voice. So, if God’s spirit lives in your heart, you will know it. The moment we believe in God and Jesus, the spirit of God lives in our hearts. Are you able to distinguish if it is God’s spirit in you?
PRAYER
Lord, live in me.
REFLECTION
What can you do to allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in you?
