Rhapsody of Realities TeeVo Devotional 26th August – Trust The Spirit’s Ability

(Don’t Put Your Trust In The “Brains” Of This World)

TO THE BIBLE: Zechariah 4:6
“So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.”

LET’S TALK
Some people try hard to succeed through their own natural wisdom. They are well-schooled and vastly-knowledgeable, yet true success eludes them. This is because they function from the mind, the sense-realm, which, even at its best, is still greatly limited. The mind is never enough; true success is by the Spirit.

The world may describe you as a “super brain” or a genius; it makes no difference. The wisdom of this world profits nothing. Success isn‘t by might or by power, but by the Spirit of God.

If you’ve been trying to succeed by your own power or ability, it’s time to quit the struggle. It’s time to put aside your own human wisdom and principles and start relying on the strategies and wisdom of the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:5 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.” The competence, ability, wisdom, and knowledge by which we function are of God; therefore, don’t trust your physical strength or natural intelligence. Trust the Lord.

How are you going to grow that cell or fellowship group? How are you going to achieve your goals? The Lord says, “It’s by my Spirit!” Success is by the Holy Spirit.

You’d become a mystery to others and a wonder to your generation, as you walk with the Spirit and allow Him to guide you in your affairs. Take the ministry of the Spirit seriously, as there’s no Christianity without the Holy Spirit.

If you want to go past religion, if you want to know the reality of the Kingdom of God and the reality of the glory of God, you’ve got to know and relate with the Holy Spirit as a person. He’s the key to extraordinary success.

Pray:
Dear heavenly Father, I acknowledge and appreciate the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life. He teaches me all things and brings to my remembrance all that I require to live the divine life. Through my fellowship with the Spirit, the realities and glories of the Kingdom are manifest in my life, and I experience the manifestations of the Spirit in my daily walk, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
