GRIEF NOT THE SPIRIT
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 12TH APRIL 2017
TOPIC: GRIEF NOT THE SPIRIT
SCRIPTURE: And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you - Ephesians 4:30-32
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 5:19
DIGGING DEEP: It is said that the secret of greatness is in the greatness it self. The secret of God's Children is in the Spirit of God in them. Without the Holy Spirit in us, we are nothing but ordinary. A natural man has no capacity to push or change things in the realm of the Spirit.
The spirit of an unregenerated person is the lowest ranking spirit, that is why the devil and all his hosts uses such a one as their cheap instrument. The Bible described God as the Father of all spirits (Hebrews12:9) that is to say that the Spirit of God is the Capital and highest Spirit of all spirits. So having the Holy Spirit automatically pulls you into the highest place in the spirit realm and that is part of what was captured in Ephesians 2:6 that we are seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places, far above principalities and powers. This is who we are, we are a Supernatural force in earthly vessel's, we are not just mere mortals but God's children and members of the legislative council of heaven. But sadly, many believers don't know who they are and who/what we have in us. And that is why many keep grieving the Holy Ghost.
Our text says "do not grieve the Holy Spirit" so emphatic and equivocally stated. So what do we do that will grief the Holy Spirit:
1. When we refuse, and disallow the expression of godly seeds in us: vs 31states that "...all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice..." These are satanic seeds, if we still allow our body to flow in the direction of these and more we grief HIM.
2. When we refuse to Love one another: vs 32 "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted..." God wants us to love. A Love less life is a lawless life. A love less life is a God less life. So we grief HIM if we don't express the Love of God to others. And part of it is preaching to the unsaved one's and so on.
3. When we still harbor unforgiveness: "...forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." We grief HIM if we don't forgive others. Un-forgiveness is one of the worst attacks on spirituality. It reduces punctures our Spiritual power and deflates relationship with God.
4. We grief HIM when HE talks to us and we don't listen.
5. We grief HIM when HE prick's our spirit and we don't respond.
Finally, beloved the Holy Spirit is a sensitive personality that expresses the emotions of the Father to us and this makes us understand what God feels. We must not grieve HIM.
I pray that our sensitivity will be enhanced like never before in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord, any character in me that grieves the Holy Spirit i throw them off now in Jesus' name.
Father, i want to have a sweet relationship with your Spirit today and always in Jesus' name.
