The Holy Spirit Book - Day 9

The Fruit of The Holy Spirit 

Joy:  We are not talking about the joy of this world produced by the human mind, jokes, drunkenness and the like. It last for a moment and when it passes it often leaves sadness and unbearable pain.

The joy of God is a permanent state of grace before the Lord and constant satisfaction from deep within our heart and last forever. No one can take it away from us-no pain or suffering.


I remember how I used to drink and go clubbing in other to have joy but when the party was over and I would put my head on the pillow, the sadness would fill my heart again and I would start crying.
Until the day I found the Holy Spirit and He brought  true joy to my heart , in a way that I don't need a drink or a party to be happy but now I have constant joy in my heart,  even when things goes wrong, we still keep going.

The Holy Spirit can give you the same joy, seek him wholeheartedly and he will come.



God Bless You

Holy Spirit book - Day 8

The Fruit of The Holy Spirit

Love : I would define it as giving without expect anything in return.

Before a person can love they need to know where love comes from. 

God is love.  For us to understand the real meaning of love is it essential that we know God. 


"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"(John 3:16)

When you have the Holy Spirit, you have love and this love is what has lead many of us, pastors and wife's to leave everything to go around the world to lead people to salvation through the Lord Jesus.

If you say you love God, you should love others as well,  for how can you love God whom you don't see and despise those whom you see.

I believe that many people have not yet received the Holy Spirit for failing to apply the greatest commandment that is: 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind... You shall love your neighbour as yourself'
Matthew 22.37,39

What about you? Do you love God more than anything? 


This Sunday we will be showing our love towards Him, it will be G-Day in every Uckg around the world. 
Where will you be?  Post your comments bellow telling us.


God Bless You

The Holy Spirit Book - Day 7

 The Fruit of the Holy Spirit

There are nine qualities, but one fruit, is interesting that Paul see them all as one, in other to make it clear they do not exist individually.  "For example, no one can show love without joy, for they are inseparable.
If a person shows joy, for example, but does not show love in his life, his joy is not a fruit of the Spirit, it may be produced by external circumstances, but it is therefore a false joy."

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is:

1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Longsuffering
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self-Control

If you have the Holy Spirit you cannot have one and not have the other, either you have or you don't.

Do you agree? Leave your comments!

You Can do it!

The Holy Spirit Book Challenge - Day 6

'God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit

 and in truth' John 4.24

I remember when i had my experience with the Holy Spirit. It was all new to me. I was talking to God, confessing my sins, telling Him how small i felt for the mistakes i had made in my life, and suddenly something began to change inside of me, i did not even know but I had been baptised with the Holy Spirit. When i spoke to an assistant about what had happened, he then told me i had been baptised with the Holy Spirit.

Today, we see people so worried about what they will feel, how it will happen and if they don't feel anything or cry when seeking the Holy Spirit, they think that God is not with them etc...

Remember we must worship Him in Spirit, that means with our mind, in a intelligent way, not with the feelings of the heart or emotions but with a clear understanding. Even when you don't feel anything it does not means He is not with you. He promised so He is there right now all you have to do is to believe and don't worry how it will happen or what you will feel, just believe and receive the Holy Spirit in your life.

We continue tomorrow

God Bless you.

The Holy Spirit Book Challenge - Day 4

God The Holy Spirit

"Who is the Holy Spirit and what is His role in the plan for salvation?
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God the Father and God the Son. He has worked, and will always work, in the heart of those whom God chooses for His purposes. He comes upon such people to enable them to do the will of God."

As we spoke in the previous article Jesus had always been with God from the beginning, but when he come down to earth, He took the human form and lived as a man. He felt what it is like to be a man living in this world. The temptations that we go through everyday. I believe that, He saw how hard it would be for us, to remain in the ways of God and do His will, if we did not have the Holy Spirit guiding us.

Therefore He said: " I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever...I will not leave you orphans;...John 14:16-18 NKJV

Only through the Holy Spirit that we can take possession of the abundant life that Jesus has promised, only when He is free to act in our life that He is able to help us.

Have you been struggling  with temptations? Do you fell like you cannot make it?

Send your request and we will be praying for you.

Always remember that if you ask God for the Holy Spirit to help you, He will come and give you the strength  that you need, why not do it right now!

We will continue tomorrow

God Bless you

Holy Spirit Book - Day 3

God the Son

"Before He was born of the virgin Mary by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit, He had already been sitting on the throne of glory, for it is written:

 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1.1-3"

That is something that many people has not understood, specially muslim, they think that Jesus come into existence when He come into this world. He has been with God from the beginning.

 He left His glory in other to become the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

However in other to be saved you need to believe in the Lord Jesus with all your heart, I always remember the verse that helped me to really change:

"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16.24-26

Those who want to receive the Holy Spirit should put him above every thing in these life, really believe in him whole heartedly for He cannot come in your life as long as you love your life or anything more than Him.

What or whom in your life you cannot live without?  Surrender it to Him now and the Holy Spirit will come upon you.

We continue tomorrow....

God Bless you

The Holy Spirit - Day 2

God the Father

"With just a word from His mouth things that did not exist came into being."

Bishop Macedo from The Holy Spirit book

It is amazing how everything that was created by God, was created by His Word and the same Word promises that He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh at the end of times.  Joel 2:28,29

Therefore do not doubt, the Holy Spirit will be poured out upon you.

Receive the Holy Spirit there where you are right now.

We continue tomorrow...

God Bless You

Every day i will be posting a message related to the Holy Spirit from what i read from the book.


Todays Reading:

From Introduction "The Holy Spirit cannot be used for personal gain"

Why do you want the baptism with the Holy Spirit? 

Chapter 1 : The Trinity "The secret things belong to our God" Deuteronomy 29:29

In short there is a lot of things we could say and talk about but i would start by :

1st: The intention of your heart when seeking to receive the Holy Spirit.

2nd: No doubts should be in your heart when seeking the Holy Spirit, for instance: 

When will the Holy Spirit come? etc... 

The secret things belong to our God, just do what you have to do.
