Today's Focus: You need to know that nothing MOVES in Christ until the SPIRIT of God MOVES!
In God's scheme of things, nothing MOVES until His SPIRIT moves. This is an obvious truth that is yet to convincingly and consciously be established in the hearts of so many genuine CHRISTIANS (Christ's followers) in this World, who are daily impatient and hasty to succeed in life. True!
The Bible reveals to us that he or she that is HASTY, do not BELIEVE. That we should not be slotful, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the PROMISES of God. (Isaiah 28:16; Hebrews 6:12).
Do you know that GOD Himself did nothing in the beginning until His SPIRIT moved first. The Bible reveals thus:
In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was WITHOUT FORM, and VOID; and DARKNESS was upon the face of the deep. And the SPIRIT of GOD moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be LIGHT: and there was LIGHT. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (Genesis 1:1-5; Isaiah 60).
Don't be deceived friend, with reference to the scripture above:
1. Know and note today that until the SPIRIT of GOD moves on your behalf the "WITHOUT FORM" of your life cannot be truly addressed on Earth, for your life to divinely take shape in Christ purposefully in this World. True!
2. Know and note today that until the SPIRIT of GOD moves on your behalf the "VOID" of your life cannot be truly filled up on Earth, for your life to divinely stay calm in Christ peacefully in this World. True!
3. Know and note today that until the SPIRIT of GOD moves on your behalf the "DARKNESS" of your life cannot truly vanish up on Earth, for your life to divinely lighten up in Christ powerfully in this World. True!
The things of God to be done on Earth cannot be done by man and man alone, but by the SPIRIT of GOD moving on behalf of man and moving man. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Then He answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the Word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, NOT by might, NOR by power, BUT by my SPIRIT, said the LORD of hosts. Who art you, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? You shall become a plain: and He shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, GRACE, grace unto it. Moreover the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have LAID the foundation of this house; his hands shall also FINISH it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts had sent me unto you. For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the EYES of the LORD, which run TO and FRO through the whole Earth. (Zechariah 4:6-10; Philippians 2:12,13; 1 Samuel 2:1-10; Hebrews 4:14-16).
That is why Jesus Christ counselled us to PRAY and seek FIRST the KINGDOM of God (the move of the Presence and Power of the SPIRIT of God) and His Righteousness and all those things (we need) will be added unto us. (Matthew 6:9,10, 33; Isaiah 60).
Therefore,
1. Don't move BEFORE the Spirit of God for any reason and in any season of your life in Christ in this World. Don't!
2. Don't move BEHIND the Spirit of God for any reason and in any season of your life in Christ in this World. Don't!
3. Don't move AHEAD of the Spirit of God for any reason and in any season of your life in Christ in this World. Don't!
To get divine results based on the Word of God:
1. You have to learn to WAIT for the Spirit of God to move par time par your situation.
2. You have to learn to move WITH the Spirit of God par time par your expectation.
3. You have to learn to move BY the Spirit of God to par time par your Challenges.
Unfortunately, only those genuine Christians who have grown into spiritual maturity become SONS and DAUGHTERS of God in Christ indeed in this World. That is:
1. Who have sacrificially SEPARATED them from the World, can be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to discern His (the Holy Spirit's) stops and moves par time. True! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
2. Who have sacrificially RENEWED their minds with the Word of God from the traditions, principles, ways and manners of World, can be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to discern His (the Holy Spirit's) stops and moves par time. True! (Romans 12:1,2; Colossians 2:8-10).
3. Who have sacrificially saI'd NO to the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life that drives the World, can be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to discern His (the Holy Spirit's) stops and moves par time. (1 John 2:15-17).
And so forth.
That is why the Bible reveals that for as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14).
In others words,
1. They are the spiritually MATURED ones that are really and truly living by FAITH (vis-à-vis by divine GRACE) in Christ in this World. True! (Hebrews 10:35-39; Romans 4:16).
2. They are the spiritually SENSITIVE ones that are really and truly understanding what God has prepared for them that love Him in Christ in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 2:9-16).
3. They are the spiritually ELEVATED ones that are really and truly enjoying divine GRACE (the empowerments and supplies of the Holy Spirit) par time in Christ in this World. True! (Galatians 5:18; Philippians 1:19).
If I may ask you,
1. When last can you say you truly HEARD from God by His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in you? (1 Timothy 4:1-5).
2. When last can you say you truly LEARNT from God by His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in you? (1 John 2:27).
3. When last can you say you are truly LED by God through His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in you? (Romans 8:14).
4. When last can you say you truly PRAYED with God by His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in you? (Romans 8:26-28).
5. When last can you say you truly OVERCAME sin for God by His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in you? (Romans 8:9-13).
6. When last can you say you are truly GUIDED to truth of God by His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in you? (John16:13-15).
7. When last can you say you are truly COMFORTED by God by His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in you?
And so on.
The HOLY SPIRIT of Christ within you in this World is your one and only divine ADVANTAGE and ADVANCEMENT in Christ in this World. Therefore,
1. Genuinely desire to cooperate with Him in Christ in this World, no matter what.
2. Sincerely learn to hear Him in Christ in this World, no matter what.
3. Humbly learn to obey Him in Christ in this World, no matter what.
You could shortchange yourself so much doing otherwise. Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:7 called Him a "TREASURE in our earthen vessels (bodies)".
Can you say the same thing being a Child of God in Christ in this World all this while?
Think about it and do something about it.
Today's Focus from Scripture:
But you are NOT in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the SPIRIT of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man have NOT the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell IN you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken YOUR mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:9,11,14).
Take note, take heed!
Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.
God bless you.
