THIRST FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT – Thursday June 25th 2020
Memorise: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing. John 15:5
Read: 2nd Kings 6:1-7 (KJV)
6 And the sons of the prophets said unto
Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence
every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he
answered, Go ye.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy
servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan,
they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into
the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed
him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron
did swim.
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out
his hand, and took it.

Revival
comes through total obedience to the word of God. This is why the Bible
admonishes us to preach the word and spread the good news of our Lord Jesus
Christ as a matter of urgency.
However,
Christians should wait to be sent forth and must never go alone, that is,
without the Holy Spirit. Luke 24:49 says:
Open Heaven 25 June 2020 – Thirst for the Holy Spirit
“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”
Romans
10:17 says “So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” At the hearing of the word of
God, the corrupt and sinful mind immediately begins to be a self-analysis,
followed by personal conviction and repentance. Romans 10:14 says “How then shall they call on him in whom
they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not
heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” However, all these will
not yield the desired results unless the work is accompanied by the power of
the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8 says
Open Heaven 25 June 2020: [Thursday] – Thirst for the Holy Spirit
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses
unto me both in Jerusalem. And in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Open Heaven 25 June 2020 Thursday Prayer Point
As we
strive to populate the Church building, we must remember our greater duty to
prepare the people of God for heaven through the correct and unbiased teaching
of the word of God. As you make up your mind to live in obedience to His word
and take every opportunity to share the Gospel with at least one person daily,
do not go without the Holy Spirit. every Christian needs the help of the Holy
Spirit to fulfil the will of God for his/her life. As you earnestly seek to be
filled with the Holy Spirit, prayers will be answered, in the mighty name of
Jesus.
Prayer Point
Father, please fill me with the power of the Holy Ghost to win souls
for Christ, in the mighty name of Jesus.
