SPIRIT OF THE LORD


"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the end of the earth."    (Acts 1:8)


Dearly beloved in Christ! Today we are going to meditate upon the Spirit of the Lord. We hear many things about the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. One important fact is that His coming will be so sudden like that of a thief who comes at night (1 Thessalonians 5: 2). Therefore, be prepared being filled with the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul says “Be filled with the spirit of the Lord.” The Bible says, our Jesus is so faithful to bless us (1 Corinthians 1:8,9). He will keep us strong till the day of Jesus Christ so that we will be blameless to meet Him. God will strengthen and perfect us. He is faithful to bless us in such a manner. 

How can we be made strong and perfect? I have heard people say, “If I serve the Lord, I have to go through troubles.” Such people lack courage even to pray considering that something untoward would happen. They are gripped with fear of men and evil spirits. However, the Bible says “For God did not give us spirit of fear, but of love, power and sound mind” to His children (2 Timothy 1: 7). 

Having been with the Lord Jesus Christ, after His crucifixion and resurrection why were His disciples timid? They were locked up in a room, troubled and doubting the power of the Holy Spirit. Exactly then, Jesus appeared saying, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you” (Acts 1: 8). Many people think the Holy Spirit is like a little dove (Luke 3: 21, 22). 
However, He is strong and mighty One (Isaiah 28: 2). 

Today, I pray that the Spirit of power will come upon you. God is going to grant all of His goodness to you on this wonderful day (Psalm 31:19). God is going to fill you with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and perform great and mighty miracles in your life. His goodness is in abundance and when you are filled with that, indescribable joy of the Holy Spirit will engulf your soul. Be of good cheer!

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

Please fill me with the anointing of the Holy Spirit and perform mighty miracles in my life. Help me to be a source of blessing. Grant me Your indescribable peace and joy on this wonderful day. Prosper all my efforts and make me glad.

In Your matchless name I pray.

Amen.
