You would have
to forgive me for an irregular blogging pattern, all this owing to the tough
schedule I go through and so much packed for the weekends and the weekdays that
there is not time left to just sit, think and relax and then write.
Nevertheless I can’t
wait to share what I heard this Sunday at church!!! This Sunday was more on the
Spirit of the Lord in us. For those of you who haven’t accepted the lord Jesus Christ
as your personal saviour and called him into your heart, I suggest you do soon!!!!!.
The privileges of having the Spirit of the Lord in us are immense. And it right
about encompasses everything that is there to trouble in this life.
The many privileges
of having a the Spirit of the Lord in us are-
1.
When we look at Daniel, he seems like one of
those brave men of the Bible who feared nothing even when the whole world was
against them, literally. In Daniel 4:8, 9 we see that,”... and no secret
troubleth thee”. Now for the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar to have said that
would require substantial proof and experience. Thus by this small yet very
significant example, we learn that when the Spirit of the Lord resides in us
then nothing in this world troubles us.
For if anything, even in the minutest level is bothering us, all we have to do is,
like Daniel... PRAY!!!!!. As mentioned again in Daniel 6:10, “Now when Daniel
knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being
open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a
day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.” He gave
thanks.. T-H-A-N-K-S.. Thanks... we don’t do that do we? We rather spend the
time, grumbling or figuring out a way to
get over the problems knowing for fact that the one who made the universe can
take care of it all.
2.
We are
able to anything, even if it is impossible. In Phillipians 4:13 “I can do
all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Why does Paul say so? It is
because it is not the strength in me that does the miracles but the Spirit of
God in me.
3.
Having
insight, intelligence, wisdom and understanding. Daniel 5:11 “There is a
man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of
thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was
found in him;..” When we have the wisdom
and intelligence then our way of thinking and approach to situations changes.
4.
We learn
to live like Christ. We slowly shed away old and bad behaviour and imbibe a
Christ like approach to life. The change just happens, and before you realise,
you already start detesting your old life. Why? You are changed now.
5.
We live a
mortal life of which is devoid of worries (as we submit everything to Him to
takes care of it all) and we shall be
living an immortal life of everlasting joy.
So then cast
your cares upon him and know that with the Spirit of the Lord within you is
doing marvelous thing in you and through you.
Have a blessed
week ahead!!!!!!
