HOLY SPIRIT, MY SENIOR PARTNER 3

9^TH , JULY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  2 Kings 18. 2 Kings 19:1-13, Acts 27:13-44, Psalm 82:1-8

FIRE SCRIPTURE:   Acts 8:26-39

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.

Dearly beloved, so far, we have learnt that meeting the Holy Spirit and learning to know Him in an intimate way is the greatest experience a believer can have. Let us now consider why you should make the Holy Spirit your Senior Partner.

First, you need to make the Holy Spirit your Senior Partner so that after experiencing His baptism, you can receive His help for further infilling and for His fire. The Holy Spirit is your indispensable ally, but your relationship with Him as well as making Him your leader is important in determining how much of His blessings you are able to receive. According to the Book of Ezekiel, there are different levels of infilling: ankle level, knee level, waist level and the overwhelming level. When you make the Holy Spirit your Senior Partner and fellowship intimately and consistently with Him, He will move you from the lowest to the highest level of infilling. By so doing, your effectiveness and results in life and ministry will be exponential.

Second, when you make the Holy Spirit your Senior Partner, He will make His immeasurable power available to you to fulfil your purpose and scale hurdles in life and ministry. Also, you will be able to access His fruit and gifts and be well equipped to excel in ministry.

 

In addition, when you make the Holy Spirit your Senior Partner, you will not lean on your own understanding but will acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path. Every believer needs divine guidance to succeed in life. The Holy Spirit is your best guide for correct direction in life.

Moreover, you need the Holy Spirit's comfort and help constantly. He will bear your burden and clear your path of all obstructions when you make Him your Senior Partner.

 

Finally, the Holy Spirit is all-knowing. He is your Teacher and Illuminator. When you make Him your Senior Partner, He will give you deep insight and understanding about the Scripture. The Bible says that He will teach you all truth (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit as your Senior Partner will also protect and defend you. Isaiah 59:19b says, "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."
