Text: Ephesians 1:3-14
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Let’s say you are on an adventure to explore an Island with some friends and you happen to have a telescope with you, it gives you an advantage of vision over others. You can see objects from afar whenever you use the device.
Believers in Christ who are filled with the Holy Spirit have so many advantages afforded by the Holy Spirit in a world full of darkness. Being in Christ you are seated with him in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come- Ephesians 1:21.
Let’s assume you want to buy a smart phone and in order to demonstrate your commitment to the seller, you pay a deposit in advance. In a similar manner the Holy Spirit is the Father’s deposit in every believer who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of our purchased possession to the praise of God’s glory- Ephesians 1:14.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth that gives the advantage of guidance into all truth and reveals what is going to happen in the future- John 16:13. So many people are eager to know what the future holds. In Christ you are covered because that is the advantage of the Holy Spirit.
Live in complete obedience to the will of the Father, habitually fellowship with the Holy Spirit and begin to enjoy his special advantages.
Prayer Nugget: Father, from today, help me to always enjoy the Spirit’s advantage in Jesus name.
