Live habitually in the Holy Ghost

An abode is a place where one finds solace, rest, and peace of mind. A place where one lives. The Bible has many references to this effect. He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High (Psa:91:1)  In my Father house are many mansions (John 15) My house shall be called a house of prayer (Matthew 21) and the list goes on.

In most of these references, not one refers to God as the house in which the believer should dwell. But the Apostle Paul made us understand that God the Holy Ghost is a dwelling place for the believer. He says

"But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). (Gal.5.16 Amp.)

He says walk and live habitually in the Hily Ghost. It is one thing to walk with the Holy Ghost but another thing to live in the Holy Ghost. In other words, in Him, you live, move, and have your being. The totality of who you are begins and ends in Him. He says to make this a habit.

It means you respond to, are controlled, and guided by the Holy Ghost.

Don't forget, that was what Jesus told us he was coming to do.

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John.16.13)

Are you walking habitually in the Spirit? Are you living habitually in the Spirit? To do that? Stay in the word of God - Let it not depart from your mouth, stay in prayers, stay in fellowship with the Father in the place of worship. Love your fellow man.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

    Thank you Sir for shedding more light on this topic . To walk in the spirit means to respond to, controlled by, and guided by the holy spirit.

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
