What are the 7 powers of the Holy Spirit?

          The Holy Spirit is not merely a mystical presence but the very breath, wisdom, and power of God working in and through believers. Isaiah 11:2 offers one of the clearest biblical outlines of the Holy Spirit's attributes, describing seven distinct manifestations—often called the seven powers or spirits of the Holy Spirit. These powers were fully embodied in Jesus Christ and are given to believers to live godly and victorious lives. Isaiah 11:2 (KJV)     " And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. "           Let’s look at each power in detail: 1. The Spirit of the Lord           This is the foundational presence of the Holy Spirit—the sovereign power of God that rests upon a person for divine assignment. It represents God’s anointing, approval, and presence.   ...

Life is meant for a divine purpose

  I was going through my family photo album until I came across a picture of a beautiful young damsel. She was so young that I could not recognize her, and the fact that her picture is in the family photo album made me curious to know who she was. I was amazed to find out that the beautiful young teenager was my aunt, but she is so old now that you can not believe she is as beautiful as the one in that picture.    I found out that immediately after a person is born, he starts by embarking on a journey of three important stages, and each of these stages determines whether life lived up to its divine purpose or not.   The stages are: The teenage stage:     You might wonder why I skip the infant or toddler stage of life. But at that stage, the newly birthed life is cared for, nurtured to grow, and protected at all costs because life at that time can not possibly do anything on its own. The parents do not only give birth to life, but they also become the guide ...

Who is the great provider in the Bible?

     Something is happening and that thing is conquering nations by destabilizing their economy because it affected many people's means of livelihood, and caused a high rate of poverty. It is a hard time that even the rich can not help themselves talk more of helping the poor. What is this thing and why is it eating deep into mankind's means of survival on Earth? But in all my findings, I found that it is no other thing but time .    From my little conversations with elderly people concerning this present time of challenges and difficulties everywhere, most of them do say that this present occurrence was not like this during the early 90s. But time has come and gone, and a lot of things which has not been seen or heard before are happening.   At this point, time changed everything in our nation that there is hunger without expectation of how the need will be met. Unknown sicknesses are everywhere without a medical idea of what could be the cause or the cure...

The stone the builders rejected

  Rejection is a painful experience that should not be wished for anyone. Nobody deserves rejection irrespective of who the person is because it is an abominable act to reject the work of God's creation. But there is no doubt that a man came into this world and was rejected and killed by those who were to love and protect Him. He did nothing wrong to warrant the hatred, bitterness, and rejection from His people because His crime was that he was the son of God from the family of an ordinary carpenter. Matthew 13:55-57   His people never believed that God's only begotten son would stoop so low to come out from a poor family since Isaiah spoke so highly of His birth and mission on Earth in Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7.  So, they expected the messiah to come from a rich and respected family, but they were not God who worked mysteriously.   For no just cause, His background led to His rejection and persecution, but it did not stop Him from living up to God's divine will for Him whi...

Glorifying God in the fire

    Mrs. Onyinye Anene was a devoted Anglican who passed through a lot in life. She had several surgeries that affected her health condition, which made her visit different hospitals and live most of her life on drugs. But in all, she remained thankful and faithful to God regardless of her circumstances. In pain, she was committed and never questioned God but kept on believing Him for His visitation, and in pain, she evangelized, showed love, and became a source of happiness to many.      At that stage in her life, she was passing through the fire of health crises but instead of questioning God, she glorified Him in her fire. She once said, " What am I living for again if I miss the opportunity of seeing Jesus on the last day? ".  She had an undeniable hunger for God even in her fire.     Many people pass through the fire of pain as a result of their circumstance, problem, affliction. Isaiah 24:15: " Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, eve...

Who exactly is Jesus?

  Most people do not care about who you are, whether you are famous or not as far as they do not know exactly who you are. Also, where I come from, people can stop you along the road to ask if you are the son or daughter of a particular person they know probably because you resemble someone who could come from that family.   I was surprised during my conversation with an old friend of mine. He was in his 80s and a Christian too but did not know who Jesus was. His question was, how did God have a son, is He married to have had a son? I was surprised because he goes to church, says a word of prayer in Jesus' name, and still does not know Jesus.   It is quite shameful in Christendom today that the majority of so-called Christians do not know who Jesus is. To them, it is the name of a famous person in Christianity whose name should always be mentioned at all times for things to work out well for them. Some will say I do not know Him but let me call His name because someone el...

Benefits of living by the Word of God

  I have never seen nor heard that God disappoints those who live their daily lives in His word. Because the word is actively working to identify who says it, the purpose why He said it, and the power behind the said word. Isaiah 55:11   Everyone can say a word. It might be a promising, boasting, or curing word to someone, but those words have no benefit to whom it might be said about. People make promises and fail, boast about life, and end in shame and curse to cause others suffering, which proves that there is nothing significant to benefit from the human's word.    From the above scriptural reference, God openly spoke about the efficacy of His word to reveal how realistic it is when living daily upon it. In His word, He guarantees us everything good as we journey to unfold the mystery behind our existence on earth. Is that not a whole lot of benefit?   When we obey and live by following God's word, we benefit from Him because He created the world and everyth...

Ancient of Days meaning

  A boy's encounter with the ancient days   A young little boy who was so passionate about the things of God had a life-changing revelation about the ancient of days. In his dream, a man in white apparel came to him with an invitation to meet someone at the mountaintop. Out of curiosity to know who the person was, he dressed up and followed this strange man carrying his school bag with a bottle of water inside the bag.    On their way to the mountain, he saw beautiful magnificent buildings built for Christian gatherings, but those buildings were from different denominations but were built around the mountain. When they got to the mountaintop, he saw a small abandoned hut, the strange man who led him to the top gave him a seat and left with a word that " Papa will soon join you".      Shortly, an old man dressed in ancient attire walked towards him, his eyes were closed, and he used his walking stick to direct its path to where his seat was. The old man...

Benefits of praying at 12 midnight

  We all already know that there are evil activities that take place at midnight, and our safety lies in the power of our prayers. Since the kingdom of darkness operates at midnight, it is our duty as Christians to also stay awake to wage war against their schemes in our lives, destinies, and everything that concerns us.    The enemy can operate at any time; that is why the word of God urged us to stay vigilant at all times because our enemy, the devil, is never tired of trying to harm us. 1 peter 5:8   We will be discussing the benefits of midnight prayer. Prayer should be part of our daily lifestyle because, in the Bible, we are instructed to pray without season according to 1 Thessalonians 5:17    So, the reason for the midnight prayer is that it is the time evil is at work, and to pray at that time is to avert those evil activities from having any effect on our lives.    Acts 16:22-40 revealed the benefit of midnight prayer when Paul and Silas...
