SWEET INFLUENCES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON YOUR CHARACTER

Scripture: Galatians 5: 22- 23

 

In this series of our Quiet Time, we study ways in which the holy spirit can change the life of a believer by pouring out His sweet influences on their life thereby transforming regular life into something far more beautiful. 

 

“ But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

                                                                                                                                          

Galatians 5: 22-23 


Under the sweet influences of the Holy spirit, you have the supernatural ability and grace to bear the fruits of the spirit. Without the influences of the Holy Spirit you will be an ordinary man; full of greed, selfishness, lust, impatience, discontentment, suspicion, mistrust and evil thoughts and pride. 

 

When you come under the influence of the Holy Spirit, you develop a completely different set of character traits. You virtually change into a different person. 

 

Instead of lust, you are full of love


Instead of discontentment, you are full of joy and peace


Instead of impatience, you are full of longsuffering and gentleness


Instead of wickedness, you are full of goodness


Instead of mistrust and suspicion, you are full of faith


Instead of pride and arrogance, you are full of meekness and temperance. 

 

Naturally, human beings are not full of love and joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.

 

Allow the Holy Spirit to influence you and bring out these wonderful character traits. Embrace every experience in life as a God given opportunity to bear fruit.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
