LESSON OUTLINES
1. The significance of the Holy Spirit
2. The ministry of the Holy Spirit
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is God's seed of power in a
believer, planted at his baptism (of the Holy
Spirit) and growing to bring forth the fruits
of power (Acts 1:. This power
supernaturally makes the believer to become
a true witness of the word e.g. the initially
timid, easily shaken like a reed PETER turns
out to be an active, powerful, immovable
Rock and witness of the word (Acts 2:1-47;
4:10-20).
He is also the Consuming Fire of God, which
distinguishes the true believer (Matthew
3:11-12). He is the divine Wind of God's
Church and the enabling Grace behind a
fruitful and rewarding Christianity (Ezekiel
37:1-10, 1Corinthians 2:4, Luke 4:14-18).
THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The ministry of the Holy Spirit, amongest
many, includes the following:
1. He quickens our mortal bodies (Romans
8:11), which makes it illegal for any sickness
or disease to dwell there, but instead turns
it to partakers of God's divine nature
(Matthew 3:12, 2Peter 1:4).
2. He guides into all truth (John 16:12-13) by
enlightening the understanding of the
believers on all issues of life. He is, therefore,
our only insurance against the deadly and
enslaving grip of ignorance. By this divine
guidance, we will always have solutions to
every problem that may confront us.
3. He reveals things to come (Acts 21:4,
10-12).
4. He reminds of things taught (John 14:26)
especially in the times of need e.g. the Lord
Jesus in His encounter with the tempter.
5. He reproves the world of sin. The sinner
gets conviction not by gimmicks but by the
Holy spirit (Zechariah 4:6).
6. He reproves the world of righteousness
by making them to live righteous in the
midst of a perverse generation.
7. He reproves the world of judgment (John
16:11).
8. He testifies of the truth, which makes it
easier, therefore, for a true believer to
decree a thing, and it is established unto
him (John 15:26; Job 22:28).
9. He intercedes for the saints (Romans
8:26-27).
10. He gives spiritual gifts unto hungry men
and women who earnestly covet them
(1Corinthians 12:4, 11).
CONCLUSION:
The Holy Spirit is unique in significance and
His ministry is comprehensive. It is
dangerous for any true believer to run the
pilgrims journey without Him. Put His house
in order, that is your body, which is His
Temple so that He can dwell there.
Pray accordingly in Jesus' name.
