Who Is The General Overseer? by Gloriouspa(m): 5:01pm On Aug 18, 2013
The General Overseer as being referred to in today’s ministry of the gospel is someone who controls, gives order and as well oversees all the affairs of a church. In this end time period, most of these founders of some churches or ministry does so to enrich their pockets. Some established the churches as a means to survive in the hardship the world is passing through now. Some of these churches were established by the self acclaim General Overseer by showcasing and arranging fake miracles in other to pull crowd and become rich quickly. The gospel nowadays has become an avenue to get rich quickly by some people as some do not have what it takes to become a servant of God.

For anyone to be called a servant or a man of God such person must be filled with the Holy Spirit. It is the duty of the Holy Spirit to teach, direct and orders the path of any true and genuine child of God rightly. Holy Spirit is the spirit of God that was sent to us after our Lord Jesus Christ has left the earth. Holy Spirit will also teach, guide, direct and reveal the hidden secrets and as well tell us things to come in future. {John 14:26}.

Holy Spirit is a gift from God. It is given freely to anyone who walks rightly before God (Luke 11:13b). A genuine (Christian) child of God must be filled with Holy Spirit and such person must be able to communicate with God on daily basis. Any Christian without Holy Spirit will live a life of his own and such person will definitely go contrary to God’s commandments and instructions.

The Holy Spirit is the General Overseer of a true and genuine church of God as mentioned in {Acts 20:28} “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood”.

Mind of God
One of the things that Holy Spirit does is to tell us the mind of God. He reveals the hidden secret unto us as directed by God (John 16:12-14).

Boldness
When you are filled with Holy Spirit, you’ll have enough confidence and boldness to face any challenges ahead of you and as well tell others about Jesus Christ. This was demonstrated by Peter and John in the book of Acts 4:19-21.

Power
In the book of Acts 1:8, “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.” Power will be given after which we have received the Holy Spirit. This is to enable us tell others about the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ability to sin no more
The moment you received the Holy Spirit, sin will become your enemy. A true and genuine child of God will find it difficult to do that which is not right before God. The Holy Spirit tells us when you are about to take wrong decision or go contrary to the will of God.

In many churches/assemblies today, things were done according to the discretion of the self acclaimed General Overseer and not the direction of the Holy Spirit who owns the church. No wonder the bible recorded it in the book of Revelation about the seven churches in Asia. When they were reviewed by God it was only the church in Philadelphia that met God’s standard because they listened to the instruction of the Holy Spirit. In many churches today things are done with carnal minds and not by order or direction of the Holy Spirit anymore.

In everything we do or plan to become in life, we need the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is the one that can help us to achieve our dreams or pursuit in life. In every situation of our lives, we need Holy Spirit to overcome the troubles of life and to do things rightly before God in other for everyone of us to make heaven.
