HOW TO BE LED BY THE SPIRIT

 

Jude 1:20 KJV
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost”.

Once again, not everyone can be led by the Holy Spirit. The reason is that not everyone is developed in their spirits enough to discern and perceive His leading in their lives. The level of spiritual maturity of a believer determines if he will be led at all, and it determines the extent to which he is led. There are various levels of spiritual maturity, and God depends on our individual maturity to provide us the leadership that we need.

It is our responsibility to develop and build up ourselves into a full grown and mature believer. Jude says we should build up ourselves in our most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit. This suggests that each time we pray in the Holy Spirit we get to build ourselves. When the Bible uses the word “yourself”, it is definitely referring to your spirit. Praying in the spirit is the building of the human spirit. The book of 1Corinthians 14:4 says “he that prays in an unknown tongue edifies himself”; and part of the meaning of the word “edify” is to build. It is from the word “edifice”.

In the spirit, we are at various levels of being built. Some are at the foundational level of building, many have reached the DPC level while many are at roofing stages of their building. Whilst many may have gone very far in the building up of their spirits, yet no one of us has completely built themselves to the point where they do not need any further building exercises. The building of our spirits continues till Jesus returns for us. But note that the extent to which our spirits have been built is the extent to which God can lead us. Receive grace for the buildup of your spirit in Jesus Name.

Action Points
i. Train your spirit through prayer today, by spending plenty of time in praying in tongues.
ii. God doesn’t lead everybody, He only leads people with mature spirits. Never stop praying until you have really matured, in fact, until you leave this world.
iii. Ask God for stamina for continuous and long praying on a daily basis today.

Prayer
-Lord, I thank you for today’s word in Jesus Name.
-Lord, please bless me with sufficient stamina to pray through in the spirit in Jesus Name.

Nugget
The level of spiritual maturity of a believer determines if he will be led at all, and it determines the extent to which he is led.
