RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. LET HIM TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. SATURDAY, JUNE 4TH 2016.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8).

There’re people who, as much as they desire to serve God with their lives, find themselves struggling with several things that eventually get them miserable in life. The reason for this is clear: it’s either they don’t have the Holy Spirit, or they’re not yielded to Him. If indeed they’ve received Him to live in them, He’s not in charge of their lives.

No one can successfully live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. He’s the One that brings the power of God into your life to strengthen you, and for you to live effectively as a Christian. He teaches you the Word, so you can know God’s perfect will, and then guides you to live in, and fulfill, your destiny in Christ.

With the Holy Spirit, your potentials are limitless. His presence in your life makes you energetic, fervent, efficient, excellent and bold. He’s not a mere power or influence; He’s the power of God, the active personality of the Godhead. Let Him take charge of your life, and there’ll be nothing you can’t do. He’s the help and power you need for all things. He gives you the dynamic ability to effect changes, and the divine enablement to accomplish any task and change hopeless situations.

Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13). He knew that with the Holy Spirit, he had all he needed to live the transcendent life, and gloriously fulfill his divine destiny in Christ. No wonder his submission in 2 Corinthians 3:5 AMP: “Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God.”

Become sufficient in His sufficiency. Yield to Him to work through you, and walk in you, and your struggles will be over. When He takes charge of your life, you’ll experience success, increase, progress and victories only.

CONFESSION

God hasn’t given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind! The Lord is my help and my ability. He’s my strength and my sufficiency; therefore, I can do all things by His power that works in me mightily. I’m effective and effectual in the communication and expression of my faith. Glory to God!

Further Study: || John 16:14 AMP He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. ||

|| 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. ||

|| Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. ||
