Acts 2:32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.
People are very strange in their behaviour sometimes and one wonders why? I suppose because when people do not agree with the way we think they must be strange. What sometimes makes things worse is when the strange behaviour is not because of facts but rather in the traditions that they follow that keeps them comfortable in those traditions. In the church we find many traditions and beliefs that have no biblical foundation but rather the practise that keeps people comfortable because of limited or no change taking place that may require people to actually change spiritually. When we worship the way things are done rather than worshipping our Triune God I think we have missed the point. Do not move the Baptismal font!!!
Yesterday was Pentecost Sunday, a highlight festival in the church, when the Holy Spirit came down in power to fill and mobilise the people of God to become witnesses to the things of God. We celebrate the day, yet we sometimes need to be reminded that the same Holy Spirit then is the same today, and when we believe that we are baptised, anointed, filled, refreshed, empowered by that same Holy Spirit, then we must live what we believe. My prayer is that you believe this and because you do, you will live who you are in Jesus Christ, who loves you.
Be encouraged today to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells in you to be a witness to God in this world.
David
Point to ponder: Jesus Christ has given you the Holy Spirit.
Question to consider: Are you a Holy Spirit witness?
