MFM Daily Devotional July 8, 2022 MESSAGE
Yesterday, we established the fact that you need to make the Holy Spirit your senior partner in order to succeed in life and eternity. Today, we shall examine how you can make the Holy Spirit your senior partner. First, you should be addicted to God’s word. You know the will of God through His word.
The Holy Spirit, as your senior partner, will remind you of all that Jesus taught you. He will give you understanding and the grace to do the Lord’s bidding. Second, you will have the Holy Spirit as your senior partner by living a consistent life of purity and obedience. Make the Holy Spirit your guide, teacher and director. He is all-knowing. Submit to His leadership and guidance in your business, career, marriage and ministry.
Are you a preacher? Get your sermon from Him. He knows those who will be in church and their needs. Third, you should build your day to day and moment by moment relationship with the Holy Spirit. When you are consistent with this, He will become your senior partner and reveal the Father, the Son and Himself to you more deeply. Similarly, your level of infilling will increase and you will manifest greater dimension of anointing and miracles.
In addition, you can make the Holy Spirit your senior partner through evangelism. This is sometimes called corporate partnership. In Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch’s conversion was accomplished by the collaborative effort or partnership between the Holy Spirit and Philip.
In Acts 8, the Bibles says, “Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?
And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.” I would like you to know that it was the Holy Spirit that gave Philip the strategies for converting the Ethiopian eunuch; He guided Philip to preach Jesus to the man and baptised him with water. In the end, the man said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Acts 8:37).
Beloved, partner with the Holy Spirit and harvest souls for Christ in these last days.
