LEARN THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth… (John 16:13).

There’s something very important you must understand in your walk with God: receiving the Holy Spirit doesn’t automatically mean you understand His ministry. The Holy Spirit was given to lead you, guide you into all truth, and help you fulfil God’s destiny for your life. But you must yield yourself to Him and study the Word to learn about His ministry in your life.

Without Him, the Scriptures remain veiled, but through His ministry, you receive understanding and are able to discern God’s perfect will. This was evident in the early Church. Before the Holy Spirit came, their understanding of Scripture was shaped by the traditions and reasoning of the average Jew. But after they received the Holy Spirit, they began to learn and understand the Scriptures in a new way.

Even then, their understanding was progressive. For example, the inclusion of the Gentiles in salvation wasn’t clear to them at first. When Peter the Apostle went to the house of Cornelius, a Roman centurion, there was contention. They questioned him for going there. That shows their understanding was still limited even after receiving the Holy Spirit.

It was through the ministry of the Apostle Paul that the revelation of global evangelism became clear. He brought the understanding that salvation was for all—reaching to the ends of the earth just as the Lord had said. The mystery that the Gentiles were included in the Gospel of Christ’s salvation was unveiled to him by divine revelation.

The Holy Spirit is your teacher; as you study, He opens your eyes, expands your understanding, and brings you into deeper revelation of God’s truths.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who teaches me and guides me into all truth. As I study your Word more, my understanding is enlightened. I grow in wisdom and revelation, and walk in the fullness of your purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. [45] And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Ephesians 3:4-6 KJV
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) [5] Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; [6] That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

John 14:26 KJV
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.

YOUR MENTAL LIBRARY

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? (Matthew 9:4).

Did you know that we have far more responsibility for our destiny than most people realize? What happens in your life has a lot to do with you—your decisions, your words, your thoughts, and the structure of your mind. Much of what your life turns out to be is the making of your mind.

The Lord Jesus posed a striking question in our opening scripture: “Why do you reason the way you do?” That question goes to the root of many people’s challenges. Their reasoning is their undoing. You reason the way you do because of the information you’ve received over time. That’s your mental library—the “books” on the shelf of your mind.

The thoughts you’ve imbibed, the things you’ve listened to, and the ideas you’ve accepted are what shaped your life. You’re the product of the information you’ve taken in. You can’t think beyond what you’ve consistently heard and meditated on. This is why meditating on the Word is vital for every Christian. Aside from the refinement and elevation of your mind, it results in unending, undeniable prosperity and good success (read Joshua 1:8 AMPC, 1 Timothy 4:15 AMPC).

Some say they listen to the Word, but without meditation, they neutralise its impact with contrary thoughts and influences. The Lord Jesus said people make the Word of God of none effect through their traditions (Mark 7:13); beliefs and ideas handed down from society, upbringing, and environment. But meditation seasons and synchronises your mind with the Word.

So, be deliberate about what you allow into your mind, your mental library. You’re the character of your thoughts: Proverbs 23:7, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he….” Therefore, fill your heart with the Word until it becomes the dominant force in your thinking. Let it shape your reasoning, your responses, and your worldview. Don’t leave your mind to chance; build it with the Word.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that renews my mind and shapes my life. I guard my thoughts and give myself to the Word, allowing it to dominate my thinking and guide my decisions. I reject every influence that contradicts your truth; I walk in wisdom, and my life produces results that glorify you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Philippians 4:8 KJV
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

MAKE FULL PROOF OF THE LIFE IN YOU

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry (2 Timothy 4:5).

In 1 Timothy 6:12, Paul, by the Spirit, gave a most remarkable admonition, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life….” Eternal life is your present-hour possession in Christ Jesus. However, God didn’t give you eternal life for it to remain a doctrine you confess.

Rather, He wants that life manifested in and through you. He wants you to make full proof of the divine life in you. Bring it into evidence. Demonstrate it. Let it be seen in your life. The life you’ve received in Christ isn’t dormant; rather, it responds to your consciousness and your participation.

Philemon 1:6 says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Every so often, acknowledge that the life of God is in you. Your consciousness or certainty of it produces boldness; boldness to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, knowing that nothing shall by any means hurt you, just as the Bible says. Your words, your actions, and your responses become the proof that the life in you is real.

The Lord Jesus said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17-18). These are some of the proofs or signs that accompany those who have eternal life.

We’re victors in Christ Jesus, triumphant always, in all things and in every place. The life in you brings healing, deliverance and transformation to those in need. When you speak, things change. When you act, the divine life is manifested. This is your calling: to manifest the life of God so clearly that it becomes undeniable. And as you do, your life becomes a testimony of His power, His nature and His glory. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of eternal life in me. I make full proof of this life today, expressing your nature, manifesting your power, and walking in dominion over circumstances. My life is a testimony of your glory and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PASTOR CHRIS

IF YOU HAVE JESUS, YOU HAVE LIFE

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1 John 5:11).

Christianity is the unveiling of a present reality: Christ in you; His life, glory, righteousness, wisdom, dominion and grace unveiled and revealed in and through you. This is real. Christianity isn’t a religion. It’s the very life and nature of God imparted to you in Christ and lived through the power of the Holy Spirit.

This life isn’t something you’re going to get when you get to heaven. The Apostle John states it as a present truth in our opening scripture: “...God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” Then he continues in the 12th verse, “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” This is absolute.

You can’t have eternal life any other way. If you have Jesus, you have it. Read His words in John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” He had said earlier in John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

Then He made a most profound declaration in the 26th verse, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.” This helps to understand why Jesus is, Himself, eternal life and the only One who can give it: “…we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life” (1 John 5:20).

Remember His words in John 14:6, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Being born again, you’ve come to the Father through Jesus Christ and have received His life. Therefore, be ever conscious of His divine life in you (1 John 5:13). Let it go beyond doctrine to consciousness and experience. Eternal life is what makes you superior to Satan and the limitations of this world. It’s why you have the capacity to live above sin, sickness and death, and live from God instead of trying to reach Him.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the reality of eternal life in me. I don’t live by assumptions but by the truth of your Word. I walk in the consciousness of this divine life, expressing your nature and manifesting your glory, righteousness, grace and truth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
1 John 5:11-13 KJV
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Colossians 1:26-27 NIV
the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. [27] To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

1 John 5:20 NIV
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

ABOVE THE ELEMENTS OF THIS WORLD

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances? (Colossians 2:20).

As a child of God, you’re not subject to the elements of this world. This isn’t mere rhetoric; it’s the revelation of your nature and position in Christ. The Bible says you’re dead with Christ to the rudiments, the elemental principles of this world. That means they don’t govern you; you reign over them.

Always remember that being born again, you’re not of this world. You’re superior to Satan and the disabling influences of this world. You’re not subject to the same limitations of the unregenerate man. There’s a higher law by which you live: the law of the Spirit of life, and it overrides the natural laws of this world.

For example, when faced with harsh weather conditions, the natural response for the natural man is to yield and say, “It’s too cold,” or “It’s unbearably hot,” and then adapt to such natural elements. But faith responds differently. You rise above it. You declare your dominion over the elements of this world.

When you’re confronted with an unfavourable condition in your health or finances, don’t accept them as final. Don’t live by the projections of so-called economic and medical experts. Rather, respond on the basis of God’s Word. The Word of God is the governing principle of the divine life in you; it overrides the natural laws and elements of this world.

The Apostle John affirms, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them…” (1 John 4:4). Act on the Word. Refuse to be limited by natural conditions. You don’t have to deny their existence, but you must prohibit their authority over you. The Lord Jesus said, “…be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

He overcame the world, its systems and elements. And when He did, you were in Him. Walk in this consciousness and consistently manifest victory, dominion and excellence over the systems, structures, and elements of this world.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the life of victory you’ve given me in Christ. I’m not subject to the elements of this world, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is at work in me. I walk in dominion and exercise authority over circumstances, systems, structures and principles of this world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as [if] alive in [the] world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances?

EXPRESS YOUR FAITH

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10).

Faith isn’t passive; it’s something you practice. If you don’t act your faith, it will not work. Faith is more than “believing,” so don’t stop at believing. The Word shows that believing is from the heart, but its expression must be deliberate: with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

There’ll be no salvation until you vocalise your faith. And salvation is much more than salvation from sin. It includes all the blessings that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ consummated for us. So, when you receive truth from God’s Word, don’t wait for circumstances to align before acting on it. Respond immediately.

Express your faith by aligning your thoughts, your words, and your actions with what God has said. God’s Word tells you who you are, what you have, and your ability in Christ Jesus; act accordingly and don’t wait for sensory confirmation. The Bible says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).

This means your life isn’t governed by what you see, feel, or experience in the natural; it’s governed by what you believe, and believing must be practised. If the Word says you have eternal life, then you live like one who has eternal life. If it says you’ve overcome the world, then you function from that position of victory.

The Word says you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; make that your constant confession. Faith is expressed in words and action. Don’t negotiate with feelings or circumstances; establish the Word. Affirm your faith. Some people acknowledge the Word but don’t. practise it. But faith works through expression.

James 1:22 makes it clear, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only….”Doing the Word is practising your believing, expressing your faith. It brings the reality of the Word into manifestation in your life. It strengthens your faith to produce greater results. This doesn’t mean you’re trying to make God’s Word true; it’s already true. You’re simply aligning yourself with it and allowing its power to be manifested in your life.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for your Word, which builds my faith and directs my life. I express my faith today by aligning my thoughts, words and actions with your Word. I walk by faith and not by sight, and I see your Word produce results in my life continually, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
James 1:22-25 KJV
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Hebrews 11:1 KJV
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Mark 11:23 KJV
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

The Essence Of The New Birth

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me… (Galatians 2:20).

The New Birth isn’t a moral upgrade or a spiritual enhancement of the human life; it’s the impartation of a new life that replaces the old. Christianity isn’t about refining the natural man; it’s the introduction of the divine life that supplants the human life.

The Lord Jesus made it unequivocal: “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). To be born again is to receive a new origin. It’s the birth of a new creation. The life you received in Christ doesn’t coexist with the human life you were born with; it supplants it.

That’s why the Apostle Paul declares, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me....” The old identity, sustained by human life, has been brought to an end. Now, the life that’s operative in you is the God-life: “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11).

You don’t have two natures functioning side by side. You have one nature—the divine nature. This aligns with 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Many live below this truth because they’re more conscious of the human life than the divine life within them. But when you understand that the God-life in you has replaced the old life, your thinking changes. You no longer approach life as a mere man; you function from your divine nature, living in righteousness, dominion, and victory without struggle.

This is the essence of the New Birth—God in you, expressing Himself fully, naturally, and consistently through you.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the reality of my new life in Christ. I rejoice, knowing that the human life has been supplanted by your divine life in me. I live in the consciousness of this truth, expressing your nature, walking in righteousness, and manifesting your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
