RHAPSODY
OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY SATURDAY 5TH AUGUST 2023.
When
you study the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, you’ll come to the realization
that indeed, the whole Bible is an epic of the Spirit. Moses, by the Spirit,
wrote, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth…And the Spirit of
God moved upon the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:1-2). This extraordinary
person of the Godhead—the Holy Spirit—is introduced to us in the very
beginning. In the book of Proverbs, we read about His intent which was to dwell
in us and have fellowship with us.
The
writer, by the Spirit, pens that the Spirit’s desire wasn’t to live in heaven
without us, but to be with us, and in us (Proverbs 8:30-31). In the four
gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John— the Lord Jesus gives us an even greater
light to tell us who the Holy Spirit is, and in Matthew 12:32, He warns against
offending the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who brings the presence
of God to us and communicates the love of God to us. You can’t read the Bible
and miss who the Holy Spirit is.
Over
in the Epistles, Paul also highlights, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption” (Ephesians 4:30). Those who
haven’t received the Holy Spirit often find the epistles confusing. If only
they knew that the epistles are an effusion of an extravagant discourse of the
Christ; they’re a compendium of extraordinary truths for today. In other words,
they have a message of the now, not by way of the timelessness of the message,
but by way of the timelessness of the man of whom He speaks. And the only way
to have a full grasp of this discourse is by the Spirit. How important it is to
recognize and be fully yielded to the ministry of the Spirit!
PRAYER
Dear
Holy Spirit, I acknowledge your ministry and presence in my life, as you guide
me to know and walk in the realities of the Kingdom of God. I thank you for
your presence in me, for you’re the captain of my life. I follow as you lead me
to fulfil my destiny in Christ. Through your ministry, dear Holy Spirit, I’m
demonstrating the glory, wisdom and excellence of divinity, bearing fruits of
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Matthew
12:32;
32 And
whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but
whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Proverbs 8:30-31;
30 Then I
was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing
always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights
were with the sons of men.
Acts 5:32
32 And we
are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath
given to them that obey him.
