The Move & Flow Of The Holy Spirit

Image
How is it that we are missing to see the Holy Spirit but on a hot and sunny summer day you can locate even a small cloud that’s miles away even at night we can see a small fire at the top of the mountain we can recognise that fire from kilometres away. So why can we not recognise the Holy Spirit when he moves if he is as big as a cloud and if he is like a fire in night. In their forty years in the wilderness the children of Israel didn’t have a say in the manner in place or position of where the tabernacle was to be placed. And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Exodus 13:21   So when the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire moved The Levites and Priest would go a three days journey ahead of the camp to set up the tabernacle onto the place where the pillar would stop. How many of us in our worship follow the Holy Spirit where He is going and what He...

Living In An Overflow of Praise

Image
Psalm 51: 15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.  Look at your life, take a quick glance on your life. Think about this, what has closed your mouth from declaring the work of the Lord, what has closed praise not to flow out of our lives.  Is it sin, grief, pain, anger towards God, torment, stagnation, tiredness, confusion, wrong words, busyness, jobs, the work of God to many things going on?  Without knowing, praise might have  stopped coming out of your lips, without knowing our mouths are filled with so many other things that have overshadowed the praise of God to stop flowing... Jeremiah 1:9 (KJV) Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. Isaiah 6:6-7 (KJV) Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched th...

The Spirit: Is Life of a Worshipper

Image
It doesn’t matter what instrument you play or what song you sing or that you stand at the back of the row and people don’t recognize you. The bible says out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and as a worshipper if your heart and life is full of his spirit then however you minister you minister out the spirit with which you are full off As a worshipper leading a choir or a church into God whatever you condition that you have will be carried into the crowd. If there is lethargy in your spirit that condition is forwarded into the people, you give what you carry.      If we can sing, speak or serve or do all we do by the spirit we are giving God an opportunity to create life because the spirit creates life wherever it goes. Jesus said “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. John 6:63 . If we all our ministry, songs, bible studies, homes are full of the spirit then the life of God is dispensed into people’s lives...

How Holiness Lost Its Place In Worship

Image
You know the Old Testament was cool but we don’t live there anymore we now live under the dispensation of grace, someone said as I talked about holiness and worship. You know Jesus died for our sins and what we are today is by his grace and I realized this kind of teaching has come with the same gospel of universal salvation. If you don’t know what that Is the gospel of universal salvation says everyone shall be saved at the end of the world including the devil himself will be saved because of God’s infinite grace. In their eyes holiness, sanctity, offering is of the Old Testament. How Holiness has lost in place in worship is because we have allowed some form of teaching which isn’t of God to fill and flood our lives and our families. Doctrines from within our churches but I don’t blame the church we should blame ourselves because we don’t know the word of God and what it says about who we are.   May we be like the Bereans who studied the word to weigh and understan...
