MFM Daily Devotional May 13, 2022 MESSAGE
Yesterday, we started looking at the Holy Spirit, the power of the believer. We mentioned that for believers to be effective in their lives and service to God, the power of the Holy Spirit is compulsory because that is God’s divine ability and authority given to believers to enable them to live godly lives and also to be productive in their service to God.
The disciples of Jesus Christ received this power and they became different men. Instead of going into hiding like cowards, as when the power had not come, they preached the gospel with boldness and damned the consequences. Thousands of souls were won to the Lord (Acts 2: 41), and they were able to perform miracles, signs and wonders (Acts 3: 1-8). They got the power and were able to fulfil purpose, making heaven very proud.
In the same way, if we hope to accomplish the will and purpose of God concerning our lives, we need to see the Holy Spirit as our source of power and strength. We need to depend absolutely on Him and allow Him to lead and guide us. James 1:5 says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” When we walk in the Spirit, we are relying on His power to accomplish God’s will.
If we do not walk in the Spirit, we will fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5: 16). And John 6: 63 tells us that the flesh profits nothing. It means that when we do not walk in the Spirit, we are only walking in disobedience and our work will not yield any profit. Child of God, may your work not be profitless, in the name of Jesus.
