HE IS OUR SEAL

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word
of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye
were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:13
READ
Ephesians 1:11-14
Eph 1:11 In whom
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the
purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Eph 1:12 That we
should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:13 In whom
ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy
Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is
the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, unto the praise of his glory.
MESSAGE
The Holy Spirit
guides you into all truth and sets you free. The greatest amnesty you can ever
receive is from Him. Besides all these, John 16:13 says the Holy Spirit will
show you things to come. He is a revealer of future events. There is hardly
anyone who does not want to know tomorrow. Quite a number of people have
ensnared themselves while seeking information about their future. Yet, they
keep a distance from the One who can tell them of tomorrow. Unlike agents of
darkness who can foretell by the spirit of divination, but provide destructive
solutions to problems, the Holy Spirit guides His own into future events and
provides appropriate solutions to problems identified. How much of the future
that is revealed to you is a function of your closeness to the Holy Spirit. How
close are you to the Revealer of secrets?
John 16:14 says
one major role of the Holy Spirit is to see that Jesus Christ is glorified in
all He does through and in His church. He is the Source of divine power
according to Acts 1:8, so if you really want raw, unadulterated power, go to
the Holy Ghost. Ephesians 1:13 says He is the one who seals believers in
Christ. Beloved, there is a seal over your life and that is the promised Holy
Spirit. When there is an unpleasant event in the life of God's children, the
Holy Spirit effectively plays the role of a Comforter. While the best mortals
can do is to sympathise, it is the Holy Spirit who knows exactly the level of
hurt we are going through and who also knows the best way to provide comfort.
Are you hurting presently? Is there something amiss that is causing sorrow in
your heart? Look up to the Holy Spirit today and He will comfort you. Take
heart beloved, it is well with you. That pain shall give way to joy. Are you
weeping? Dry up your tears right now because the Lord is saying to a User of
this Devotional,
“Sing O barren, thou that didst not bear;
break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child:
for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married
wife, saith the LORD.”
You shall laugh last, it is well with you
ACTION POINT
Spend 30 minutes
thanking the Holy Spirit for being your seal and comforter.
