🔥HOW TO RESPECT THE HOLY SPIRIT (GHOST)🙇‍♂️

Some of us need to learn how to respect the ancient spirit of the only True God and Triune deity - Holy Spirit.

Your biological parents that you call daddy and mummy today might of course be so close to you as friends that you can tell them almost anything. 

But you see, if you pass your boundaries, you'll be shocked they'll tell you "oo ti koja ibawi tabi nino o" - "you are not yet beyond scolding or spanking". 

To tell you to know your place not just as a dear son or daughter, but respect them as your parents because you aren't age mates. 

If you permit familiarity with your parents, you will definitely be a spoilt brat (child). 

You see that same Holy Spirit that Pastor Adeboye calls his Daddy to show the intimacy or familiarity as a friend but much more the respect he has for the Father as His dear son; is what most young believers have bastardized or regard today without any sign of respect at all.

Should we say it's because of the level of knowledge? What do we know that's beyond what the Fathers knew? Is it not the same Bible or Scriptures? Is it not this same God of our Fathers? Is it not the same Spirit in the Old Testament and New Testament? Come on. 

Of course, He can be your comforter but if you don't regard Him as your teacher ehn, you will go astray like a lost sheep. 

If you permit familiarity with your teacher, you will be a stubborn student that can hardly be corrected. 

If you only see Jesus as your saviour, friend or lover and not your master or Lord, you are missing it big time. 

Even Jesus being God in man, the person of the Godhead; haven't you seen in the scriptures how He honours, respect, highly esteem, humbles before and submits to His Father before men?

That He is one with God - the Trinity does not connote His overfamiliarity. He did the same for His biological parents (that He's even spiritually greater than), can you imagine? Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever more. 

If you don't know Jesus, you can't know Christ. Respect the God that came in flesh as Man (Jesus) and is made whole as God in Man (Christ). 

If as a sister, you (only see and) regard the Holy Spirit like you do to your friends and fellowship sisters who you call girlfriends without any iota of respect like Mama, you are wrong and might be blind when He tells you to accept the proposal of that poor but rich in future brother o.

If as a brother, you only see the Holy Ghost as your MOG (Man of God) and not as your guy (padi), you may find it difficult to know that thin but heavy in future Sister you are to marry o. 

If you only see the Holy Spirit as an all round authority like your Spiritual Father and you don't tell Him everything about yourself every now and then, I'm sorry, deep secrets of the Kingdom (and His Father) may not be revealed onto you. 

Even for those in relationship (like what our generation is missing), if what they see about their spouse is a friend, brother or sister not the biblical Wife (submission and respect) or husband (provision and love - care and attention) that our parents imbibe and have had long lasting marriages ever till today; you may keep struggling. 

That is the foremost key to relating with the Holy Spirit. 

Know how to balance and switch to the mode of the Holy Spirit. It will be based on your own spiritual mood and need too. Whenever you are in need of comfort, He'll do so as a friend and brother or sister. 

Whatever you don't know as a student, He'll teach you as a teacher based on your relationship though - distant or close. 

When you are lost, He'll guide and direct you. When you misbehave and feels condemned, He'll intercede on your behalf to the Father through Jesus.

If because you are conversant with the gifts of the Spirit on you, given by the Holy Ghost and you despise the Holy Spirit, don't be shocked you'll lack fruits. 
If you get too familiar with fruits of the Spirit and you despise gifts, don't blame God you don't manifest gifts o. 

You'll be shocked it's the same Spirit functioning upon and within. But you'll miss it on either one if you don't respect both manifestation of the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus cried "Abba, Father" (Mrk 14:36) and "My God" (Mrk 15:34), He didn't command or demand as a friend would but He cried as a dear son (or daughter) would; the same way the Holy Spirit (Ghost) cries for and from within a believer (Rom 8:26, Gal 4:6). 

Let down your ego and cry by the Spirit in you to the Father - Abba Father (Rom 8:15, 1Cor 14:2). Learn to respect all the Godhead. Jesus Christ is God. Holy Spirit (Ghost) is God. Learn to respect the Holy Spirit (Ghost).

DON'T GET DISCONNECTED, STAY ON COURSE

It is of no fallacy that there is no boundary, blockage or distance barrier of any sort to the access or manifestation of the Spirit. And indeed, there is no medium whatsoever that the Holy Spirit cannot use to demonstrate enormous power, no matter how unimaginable or unreasonable it may be ( Mantle - 2Ki 2:14, Hem of garment - Matt 14:36, Handkerchief and Apron - Acts 19:12, Shadow - Acts 5:15).  You might have heard of testimonies of men about the move of God's power, either through Social Media (despite the different locations - countries and continents across the globe), Audio or Video Messages and many more. Also, it is not bad or devilish for believers to have spiritual books, messages, write ups etc on their phones, laptops or any technological gadgets.  Doing these does not serve majorly any other purpose than to use them to build up ourselves spiritually and get imparted by the anointing of the Men of God. Which has helped us to access the unreachable materials

LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE (a promised reference to Timilehin David's similar letter years ago)

If you are reading this, it is to show how highly God has proposed and buoyantly vouched for you as the apple of his eyes. To a royal diadem, a rare gem, the good thing I'll find whose worth is beyond rubies, the brightest star in the sky I'm staring at and looking forward to embrace her shining light, my other half, the fairest among women (just like my fairy mum) whose heart is golden and cannot be bought by the worth of earthly treasures, one whose stance would cause the fall of a thousand men, and her walking steps draw the gaze of mighty men. To my future wife, whose eyes I would love to fix my gaze, whose cheeks I would love to caress, whose succulent lips I would love to taste like the honeycomb and beautiful body I would love to glue onto like the magnet on the day of matrimony. Your smile is a beaming hope, your laughter a contagious joy and your teeth like the bright spring in the sunny day. I hope reading this won't make you think I am carnal because

EXAMINATION TIPS FOR BELIEVERS

  The secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well - John D. Rockefeller.  As believers, the kind of success that God wished that we manifest in is different from that of unbelievers. It is success that supercedes man's (self) ability; one that is traceable to the enabling power of God; one which can be drawn, associates and is enabled (in and) by the Spirit, so that we cannot boast of our power, knowledge, skills and every of our ability but by the strength, quickening and enabling power of God. This is applicable to all spheres: Business, Work, Education etc including Ministry. But due to the course of this writing, I'll be centering on exams especially students that are believers. If you aren't one of them, make a quick deliberate decision and be convinced of your salvation, else, you are missing out amongst Christ's family (and the benefits of being a Son, a few of what I'll be sharing here).  According to Josh 1:8 - KJV:This book of the law sh

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE YOU DON'T KNOW

You might want to wonder, does LOVE have any other side (just like a coin though single but having two SIDES)? Do I not know about the entirety of love or does it still transcend beyond the description and exposition given to it by Apostle Paul in 1Cor 13?  Do you know that, just the way you can't decipher all that God is even though He fully demonstrated His nature of love by becoming a Father and sacrificing Himself (the Soul - Jesus the Christ as His only Son) for humanity; you can't also comprehend all that Love is because God is Love? Now, let me bring clarity to avoid confusion. What do I mean by the OTHER SIDE OF LOVE? Like everybody else will think, the answer to that question would be the painful side of love or the sacrifices of love or the challenges that may befall one because of love etc. But that's not where my target is, instead it is the most neglected nature of Love - BALANCE. When you hold a coin or are given a coin what attracts you the most i
