DIVINE HELPER
Dearly Beloved, I bring you greetings in the name that is above every other name, Jesus Christ the Son of the living God and our soon coming King. Welcome to the first Sunday in the month of February, oh what a mighty God we serve. My prayer for you is that in this month of February, you will experience uncommon grace and mercy in the name of Jesus. Favor shall attend all of your ways, so go about your daily activities expecting uncommon grace to show up for you and it will manifest. This morning, I want to discuss with you on the ministry of your Divine Helper. You were not created to live this life all by yourself and because God knew that in this life, we’ll be faced with diverse challenges and difficulties, He gave us the Holy Spirit, our Divine Helper.
“But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.” (John 14:26 AMPC)
Our text gives us a very robust description of who the Holy Spirit is to us, and still it does not even fully capture everything. Indeed the Holy Spirit is of vital necessity if we must live successfully as believers on this earth. Jesus said in John 16:7 that it is to our advantage that He goes away so He can send the Divine Helper to be with us.
Therefore in order for us to truly enjoy this advantage and the ministry of this amazing Divine Helper in our lives, then we must learn to fellowship with the Holy Spirit in worship, and in tongues. We must make praying in tongues a part of our daily lives. He is there to help us through every situation. There is absolutely nothing we cannot engage the Holy Spirit about, be it about family, career, business, marriage, children. He is a very present help at every time we need Him. He will also tell you about the future, so you can stay ahead of the curve. Make a habit of fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues, and He will transform your life.
This week I declare acceleration in your life. The things hitherto you have been trusting God for will happen speedily in the name of Jesus. I will hear your testimony. God bless you.
Maranatha!
In His Royal Service,
Dr. Mike Okonkwo
