PREACHER: BRO. ANDY SAM
Joel prophesied that on the day of the Lord the spirit would be poured on all my people. On the day of Pentecost God gave us all gifts to fulfil this prophesy. Today’s theme suggests that someone was making a command, our first leaving a question on our minds to answer; who made the command and to whom was it directed to.
This request was being made by the disciples of God to God our father and Christ the saviour. Secondly, God needed to send us someone and on this day of Pentecost we find this spirit come on God’s people leaving the third person with us.
The Holy Spirit is the founder of the church. He guides the people of the universal church, transforms and leaves us with his fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. He gives us a new life (john 3 & Romans 10), comforts us internally, prevails and glorifies Christ, chief witness of Christ, convicts us of our sins and intercedes on our behalf. (Acts 2:11) but the greatest of all is that he gives us all salvation. How fortunate we are!
The fruits of the spirit produced are;
Love which is about strength being devoted to the well being of someone.
Joy about a brothers success and not envy or hatred.
Peace, harmony, order amidst turmoil, strive and temptation.
Patience
Kindness described by the Greek word pestotis. It means to be soft spoken, ill-tempered, cultured and reflects in character and conduct.
Goodness kind, generous, virtuous and benevolent.
Faithfulness in Greek means kistess means living whole heartedly, being confident, assurance trust and rely in God all he does.
Gentleness means to be even balanced, kind and gentle.
Self control suggests we are moderate in indulgence of sin
Beloved take this message and remember to be good.
