Helper, that He may abide with you forever”
Even though the Father gave us the Holy Spirit to be with
us, and live within us, He (the Holy Spirit) requires our cooperation to carry
out His ministry in our lives. He doesn’t do His work in you, without you. This
somewhat accounts for the reason His manifestations could differ in the lives
of Christians. In some Christians, He’s manifested in a great measure, while in
some others, His work is suppressed; you rarely see the proof of the indwelling
presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. This ought not to be.
Cooperate with the Holy Spirit; be synchronized with Him.
Encourage His work in your life. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is manifested
in your life to the extent that you allow Him. The more you cooperate with Him
and encourage His work in your life, the more He manifests Himself in, and through
you. Remember, He’s your helper; so, you need Him. We’re the ones with the
assignment from the Lord; we’re the ones charged to go into all the world to
make disciples of all men. And He’s been given to us to help us carry out our
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. I acknowledge His presence in me, and I’m yielded to His leading and guidance today. I’m strengthened and rightly positioned in the centre of your perfect will, because I walk with the Spirit; His wisdom guides and propels me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
