God only works through a man who is open and ready to be
used by him. God raise the nation of Israel to cleanse the land of Canaan. He
sent Israel to go to Canaan for that purpose.
Text: Judges 7:16 – 22, 2 Corinthians 4:7, Ephesians 1:13 - 14
It is expedient for us that we always obey God and follow
his instructions like Gideon did. When ever God gives any man an instruction,
he expects him to follow it vividly because it is through that obedience that
he (God) works for us.
From the story in the book of Judges Chapter 7, the breaking
of the pitchers and lighting of the lamps by the children of Israel in the wart
front was simply adherence to God’s instructions. And the children of Israel
defeated their enemies because God was with them.
The power of the Holy Spirit is one thing we (the church)
cannot do without, it is the power that keeps us.
Several things can
stop an individual from releasing his or her light, it could be sin, our
attitude, our way of life, doubt and many other things. The Holy Spirit can
make our light shine more, he can release our light if we accept him with all
our heart.
The Holy Spirit reaches the heart, touches it and changes it
for the better.
The church started with the Holy Spirit. The
transformational power was what we started with and this power makes huge
transformation in our lives.
Every believer need the baptism of the Holy Spirit so that
the light in us can be spread to everyone we meet daily.
The spirit helps in prayers, ministration, understanding of
the things of God, miracles, prophecies and a lot of other things.
The Spirit of God changes our lives, it gives us spiritual
energy, it also gives us that connection with God that helps us understand him
and do his will.
