THE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT
Romans 8:14 KJV
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”.
The day we got born again, a Spirit was released into us which is the Holy Spirit. From that day, our whole lives were to depend on the activities and the leading of this Spirit. Whereas before now, God led and dealt with His people by various other means. In the Old Testament, God led His people by the pillar of fire by night and the pillar of cloud by day; He did this to establish the fact that every child of God needs to be led by the Lord Himself.
It is not just enough to be saved, but also very crucial to be led by the Spirit of the Lord in our daily lives and journeys. So, when He introduces the Spirit of God into our lives upon new birth, that Spirit is meant to replace the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire as well as all other means by which God led His people back then. This indwelling Spirit of God is the very person of God and Jesus in our lives. He is the third person of the God head that now lives in us to lead, guide, direct and instruct us as though it was Jesus physically walking with us here on earth.
As you well know that God is a tripartite being. He is God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are not three separate entities, rather they are the three different manifestations of one God in the lives of His people. There was a time when God dealt with His people directly as God the Father on the days of Adam, and then the person of Jesus came and lived here on earth, teaching us how to live life as believers.
He lived for thirty-three and a half years and died, and when He died, He released the person of the Holy Spirit to dwell in us. This Spirit was to replace Him. He is to act in the same way Jesus would have acted when He was physically present here on earth. Now take a look at the four books of the gospels and how Jesus walked with the disciples here and then you can imagine how the Holy Spirit is meant to walk with us. Receive grace to recognize the person of the Holy Spirit and to walk with Him accordingly in Jesus Name.
Action Points
i. Ask the Lord to reveal to you the person of the Holy Spirit that you have in you.
ii. Ask the Lord to teach you to relate with the Holy Spirit.
iii. Whisper these words to the Holy Spirit; “Holy Spirit please help me relate with you, in Jesus Name”.
Prayer
-Lord I establish a closer walk with you from now forward in Jesus Name.
Nugget
It is not just enough to be saved, but also very crucial to be led by the Spirit of the Lord in our daily lives and journeys.
