ALWAYS REMAIN IN THE SPIRIT, FOR GOD IS SPIRIT
Bible Ref: Revelation 1:10
Greetings to everyone and to all faithful children of our Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father. I thank God for such a wonderful day and that His grace has always been sufficient for us.May His name be praised always.
This morning I would like to share with you a short message that is in line with the theme for the year. As believers and followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his precious blood,has brought us to a constant fellowship with the most high God, it is important for us to know what we ought to do to continue in this great calling.
From the above bible reference, we can learn how important it is for us as children of God to remain in the Spirit for that is how we can hear from the God.
The question one may ask is how can we remain in the Spirit?
From my point of view, I think the answer to this question can be found in the verse 9 of this chapter. One of the ways to remain in the Spirit constantly reading of the word of God and searching for the truth.
In other words, having quality time for the word through the help of the holy Spirit.
Another way we can always remain the Spirit is meditating upon the word we have read, making it practical in our life, abiding by the word through the help of the Holy Spirit and living by it day and night.
It is also important for us to know that our great weapon as children of the Lord is PRAYERS.Effective communication with the Lord, seeking the face and direction of the Lord in all our activities is an important key in remaining in the Lord.
In light of the above listed ways to remain in the Spirit, I will urge all of us to be aware of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and the need for us to remain in Him.
We were bought by the precious blood of Christ as a results of the greater love of the Father who before the foundation of the world loved us.
Its my prayer, the good God who is rich in grace and mercies will help us all to understand the need for us to remain in his Spirit so we can always hear from Him.
God bless.
