The holy Spirit, the great teacher and instructor.
It’s the dream of every student to do what they want, rather than what is required of them. We often want to have fun like everyone else, to be free to go places and explore all the worldly locations our instincts desire, but at the expense of our commitment and faith. Just as a gym instructor pushes their trainees to be disciplined and focus on their set goals and commitments, even when it’s inconvenient for them, so too does the Spirit of God teach, instruct, and lovingly compel us to do what is necessary as children of God.
Many times, He introduces tests and exams to evaluate the limits, strength, ability, faith, compassion, selflessness, and hospitality of the student’s response to His training. He gives that student reasons to pray when they feel too comfortable or have no reason to pray. He is strict with those He dearly loves and has a great mission for. Just as the higher classes increase in intensity and expectation, He also increases the level of training for such students.
He is loving, understanding, and aware of anyone who desires Him and seeks Him as their teacher and guide. He’ll tell you what to do in times of crisis. He will guide you on where to focus when preparing for an examination (Life’s issues, trials and temptations). He teaches, and He tests. How can you know the progress of a student who has not been tested? How can you score a student who has not written any exam? So, he conducts trials to test and examine His students.
Speaking from personal experience, I have learned much from Him. When I disobey, problems always follow, which seem to be the result of my failure, accompanied by its respective feelings. This is not because He is not forgiving or loving, but because, as a teacher and instructor, He does His job perfectly. He is impartial and shows no favoritism. If you fail, you will face the consequences of failure. If you neglect, you will experience the results of negligence.
What have you done with the holy spirit that you’ve received?
It’s not about just receiving a gift; it’s about using him as a weapon for exploits. There is no discrimination in the grace one receives, nor is God partial. The amount of grace you receive is directly related to the size of the vessel you present to Him. When God is pouring out His blessings, the size of your cup, your willingness, faith, and submission, determines the measure of grace you’ll receive. Do not underestimate what God can do through you if you fully submit your vessel for Him to use. His power and grace have no limits, but it’s up to you to be open and ready for His divine purpose.
Your Spirit-inspired words are also scriptures.
Just as the words spoken by the vessels and messengers of old are scriptures, the same Holy Spirit who spoke through them has never stopped talking, nor will He. He speaks every day through us, aligning with the words He has spoken through the apostles and prophets of old. The authentication that our words are truly the words of the Holy Spirit lies in the alignment with His past messages.
Therefore, learn to write and to share.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart of gratitude for those who have received the Holy Spirit. Thank You for guiding, teaching, and empowering them through Your Spirit. May they continue to grow in obedience and strength, learning from Your loving discipline and walking in Your ways.
For those who are seeking or in need of the Holy Spirit, I ask that You fill them with Your presence. Open their hearts to receive Your guidance and wisdom. May they experience the transforming power of Your Spirit, finding strength in times of trial, and comfort in times of need. Lead them to walk in Your truth and embrace Your purpose for their lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
