But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. – 1 John 2:1(NLT)
GREATEST ADVOCATE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you been supported by someone all the way?
Does anyone ensure that you don’t go far and stray?
Is there someone passionate about your concerns?
Give up your worries for Jesus is your faithful friend.
When you sin, an advocate pleads for your case
He is passionate to fight for you each and every day
The greatest advocate who is so faithful, is Jesus Christ
He wants you to know that he is concerned for your life.

When you have been exposed to much traumas, you will be able to comprehend the degree of helplessness that may be brought about by the painful experiences. One of the hardest thing to deal with when traumatized is the fact that many don’t feel the pain you are going through and have no compassion or understanding of the effect it has on your total being. This can be very discouraging. A support system is vital when we go through much suffering but it may be hard to find this kind of help.
The bible tells us that the greatest advocate is Jesus Christ. He totally understands what you are experiencing and he is there to plead for your case to God.

But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative-that is, the Holy Spirit- he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. – John 14:26 (NLT)
WORKINGS OF THE SPIRIT
A poem and essay by ILMA
As soon as we believe that Christ is our Savior
We are anointed with power and valor
God expects his people to bring Good News to the poor
He sent them to free those who are oppressed by the cruel.
The Holy Spirit lives in the hearts of those anointed
He reveals the gifts to each one who are appointed
God’s people are used to release all those enslaved
His Spirit brings peace and Jesus assures that they are saved.
What does God’s Spirit do in our lives? The spirit is our teacher, our counselor, our helper and our guide. John 14:26 says he is our Helper and brings us to memory all things we need to learn. He also helps us in our weakness (Romans 8:26).
The bible says that God’s people are anointed by God’s Spirit to bring Good News to the poor, release the captives, let the blind see and let the oppressed free. Apparently, this is what is expected of all Christians.
PRAYER
Lord, remind me to use my anointing for your glory.
REFLECTION
What does the anointing of the Spirit do in our lives as Christians?
