THE SPIRIT UPON...........
" And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hands; but he told not his father and his mother what he had done."Judges 14:6
This is what Samson did to the young lion that attacked him.
From our openning verse, you will discover that the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson and he became another man.
The description " the Spirit comes upon" and the " indwelling presence of God" are two different discriptions of the same HolySpirit. Most times people tend to confuse both and use these descriptions interchangably without understanding.
The "Spirit within" is also called "the indwelling of the HolySpirit". This is the experience of salvation. When a man receives Jesus into his life( the new birth), the Holy Spirit comes in and abide in him (1John 2:27a, Romans 8:11a). By virtue of the fact that the Holy Spirit lives in him, life is given. The person becomes alive in Christ. This person is a living tabernacle of the HolySpirit....Hallelujah!!!
The Spirit that comes upon is the same HolySpirit but this time, He comes upon. When you observe closely when the Spirit came on Samson, he killed the lion without difficulties. The Bible showed us the same thing with David, that he became like another man... This shows that Spirit upon is the anionting to accomplish specific task with ease. This is for service. In the Old testament, the Spirit of God came mightily upon men that were used of God like Samson,David,Samuel and the prophets. They don't have the indwelling presence of God because humanity as of that time was seperated from God. The Spirit could only come upon them to use them to fulfill certain tasks. They were not bornagain and so they were not saved.
Jesus made it possible today that we have the indwelling presence of God and Spirit upon. The Spirit of God come upon us to fulfill God's purpose for us and also lives in us. We are children of God. We are more than a conqueror because the greater one with His greater abilities lives in us......Hallelujah..God bless you all.

Correction is not Critcism

By
Correction and criticism seems to be alike when we use them to express our opinions towards people, but a deep study revealed that they're not the same. Let's go and study some things about them starting with their definitions. Criticism - An expression of disapproval of something or someone on to the basis of a perceived fault(s) or mistakes. From this definition you will notice key words like (1)expression  of disapproval, (2)based on a perceived fault or mistakes. Criticism is also synonymous to condemnation, disapproval...Etc.. Correction -  is a change that makes something more accurate than it was before. It's a change that rectifies an error. Key words are change, makes accurate. Synonyms are improvement, amendment..etc.       DIFFERENCES - Criticism reveals the fault or mistake while Correction reveals the improvements from the fault or mistake. - When you receive Corrrection, it will point to a better outcome. Criticism will only show you t...

...YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY...        "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Rom10:10  Our opening verse says ".....with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.." The word confession in the new testament is derived from the Greek word "homologia" meaning to speak the same thing in agreement with another. This means that you should agree with, and say what the Word of God says about you or your situation. Just like God said in the beginning "let there be light" and light appeared, so has He given you the ability to speak, to create things (bring those into being). Don't damage your destiny with your mouth but declare the Word to your world. Never talk failure. ............God bless you all...
