HOLY SPIRIT, MY SENIOR PARTNER 2

8^TH , JULY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  2 Kings 16, 2 Kings 17, Acts 26:24-32, Acts 27:1-12, Psalm 81:8-18

FIRE SCRIPTURE:   Acts 8:26-39

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another [a]Helper, that He may abide

26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is [a]desert. 

27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 

28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 

29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”

30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 

32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:

“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.”

34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” 

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 

36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”

37 [b]Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.”

And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 

39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.

First, you should be addicted to God's word. You know the will of God through His word. The Holy Spirit, as your Senior Partner, will remind you of all that Jesus taught you. He will give you understanding and the grace to do the Lord's bidding. Second, you will have the Holy Spirit as your Senior Partner by living a consistent life of purity and obedience. Make the Holy Spirit your guide, teacher and director. He is all-knowing. Submit to His leadership and guidance in your business, career, marriage and ministry. Are you a preacher? Get your sermon from Him. He knows those who will be in church and their needs.

Third, you should build your day to day and moment by moment relationship with the Holy Spirit. When you are consistent with this, He will become your Senior Partner and reveal the Father, the Son and Himself to you more deeply. Similarly, your level of infilling will increase and you will manifest greater dimension of anointing and miracles.

In addition, you can make the Holy Spirit your Senior Partner through evangelism. This is sometimes called corporate partnership. In Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion was accomplished by the collaborative effort or partnership between the Holy Spirit and Philip. In Acts 8, the Bible says, "Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him."

 

I would like you to know that it was the Holy Spirit that gave Philip the strategies for converting the Ethiopian eunuch; He guided Philip to preach Jesus to the man and baptised him with water. In the end, the man said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Acts 8:37). Beloved, partner with the Holy Spirit and harvest souls for Christ in these last days.
