Introduction
Unknown to many Christians, one critical essence of us being saved (born again or recreated) by God in Christ in this World is to DO the WILL of GOD in Christ for us, individually and collectively in this World.
The Bible reveals thus:
For by grace are you SAVED through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, CREATED in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that WE should WALK in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10, take note of verse 10).
Again, the Bible reveals thus:
Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK out your OWN salvation with fear and trembling. For it is GOD which works in YOU both to WILL and to DO of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12,13).
Jesus Christ our ultimate Rodel Model for living victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily on Earth said thus:
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to DO the WILL of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work. (John 4:34).
Therefore, He taught us how to PRAY thus:
After this manner therefore PRAY you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your WILL be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).
And the Bible reveals thus:
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE as HE (Jesus Christ) is, so are WE in this world. (1 John 4:17).
Now, know and note:
1. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows the WILL of GOD in Christ for your life in this World. Nobody else! True!
The Bible reveals thus:
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God has REVEALED them unto US by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches ALL things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that WE might KNOW the things that are freely GIVEN to US of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-12).
2. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to TEACH you the WILL of GOD in Christ for your life in this World. True! Nobody else!
But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit) which you have received of Him ABIDES in YOU, and you need NOT that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches YOU of ALL things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him. (1 John 2:27; John 16:13-16).
3. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly PRAY the WILL of GOD in Christ through you in this World. Nobody else! True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Likewise the SPIRIT also HELPS our infirmities: for WE know NOT what WE should PRAY for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself makes INTERCESSION for US with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the WILL of GOD. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:26-28; 1 John 5:14,15).
4. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly LEAD you according to the WILL of GOD in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!
The Bible reveals thus:
For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of GOD, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).
5. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly EMPOWER you to DO the WILL of GOD in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!
But you shall receive POWER, after that the HOLY GHOST is COME upon YOU: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Philippians 2).
6. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly HELP you when challenges shows up against you in doing the WILL of GOD in Christ in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!
The Bible reveals thus:
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your PRAYER, and the SUPPLY of the SPIRIT of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:19)
7. Only the HOLY SPIRIT of God knows how to truly COMFORT you when unpleasant circumstances shows up against you in doing the WILL of GOD in Christ in this World. Nobody else! True!
The Bible reveals thus:
But when the COMFORTER is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the SPIRIT of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: (John 15:26).
If you recall part of the Lord's Prayer stated above, Jesus Christ taught us to pray that the Kingdom of God (that is, the Holy Spirit of God presence, principle, power and possessions) comes and your WILL be done. (Matthew 6:10; 2 Corinthians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 1:24).
This means that until the HOLY SPIRIT comes, the WILL of God cannot be known or done on Earth. True!
That is why again, Jesus Christ instructed thus:
But SEEK you FIRST the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).
Do you get it?
When we first seek the Kingdom of God (the Holy Spirit), every other thing will be added unto us. True!
Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled on how to seek first the Kingdom of God (Holy Spirit) thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you PRESENT your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be NOT conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of God. (Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 2:15-17; Philippians 4:8,9).
Kindly, read from me again as I inform you about the first characteristics of knowing and understanding the WILL of GOD for you in 2017. Get your family and friends to read this and to follow this series. What a priceless blessing it will be to them.Thank you!
Welcome in advance into your NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS in 2017!
