BEHOLD  THE  COMFORTER

TEXT: JOHN 16:1-15

KEY VERSE: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (JOHN 16:7).

There is no other time that we seriously need the Comforter than in this present age. Christ, who knows the end right from the beginning, has promised believers of all ages the ministry of the Holy Spirit also known as the Comforter.

The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the divine Trinity sent by both the Father and the Son to the world. The text for today reveals how Christ spoke of the need for the Comforter.

Jesus Christ was very compassionate with His followers as He warned and foretold what would befall them by the time He ascends to heaven. It is normal for believers to be unjustly maltreated, persecuted, excommunicated and even killed for their faith. When the Comforter comes, He will enable Christ to help us without any limitation. The Holy Spirit will convince sinners and call them to repentance. He will show the standard of God’s righteousness to everyone who believes.
Christ’s death on the cross connects us to the Father who forgives and makes us righteous. We experience God’s riches and grace through salvation, entire sanctification and Spirit baptism. Thereafter, the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth, helps us to discern right from wrong while we patiently learn from Him and receive the power and enduement to undertake the great commission.

Whatever the trouble, persecution, difficulty, problem, calamity, sickness, disease, displacement or deprivation we may be facing presently, the great Comforter is here to help us pass through all these with joy and gladness. The Holy Ghost is available to all sanctified believers today. Reach out to Him in faith and be immersed.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Holy Spirit is the believer’s Companion and Comforter through earthly sojourn.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
