Influence of His Spirit

Text: Genesis.2:7 (KJV)

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

In our world of today, there are so many kinds of influences; some are positive, while others are negative.  The truth is that we see a lot of people under the influence of so many things from drugs to friends, but the most powerful influence anyone can ever experience is that of the Holy Spirit. I tell you, it is one of a kind. From our scripture above, we can see that the Lord breathe his Spirit upon us in the creation, which is moving us today. We are meant to use this Spirit of life to impact and influence others positively through our behaviour and reactions on matters. This Spirit of life is actually our strength as Christians, and it is by this Spirit that we can live the life that Christians are meant to live. The Spirit of life is so amazing, and it makes great impact by influencing our minds and will into doing the right thing, and He purifies our thoughts from evil. John3:6- That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. I tell you, the difference between a believer and an unbeliever is the presence of the Holy Spirit, and we are meant to utilize Him. For us to enjoy Him to the fullest, we need to have a revelation of His personality. We should remember, His breathe is the life we are living on.

Interestingly, when Jesus was about to die, He promised that He was going to send the Holy Spirit as a teacher and a comforter, which He did. John 14:26- But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Our new birth in Christ changes our carnal mind into the Spirit of Christ, and this is by the help of the Holy Spirit. We need to keep yielding ourselves to the Word of God and prayers as to experience this change and transformation from within. Jude1:20- But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. I tell you, it is by the influence of the Spirit that we get the fruits of joy, peace, love, etc. and this means that the Spirit is a quickening spirit. So, I encourage you to keep praying for the Spirit to fill your heart so that you can manifest His nature in your life in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Oh Lord, help us to yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit so as to pick divine signals in Jesus name.

2. Father, open my eyes to the leading of the Spirit of God at all times, so as to bear the fruits of righteousness, in Jesus name.
