THE SPIRIT UPON

Friday 21st January 2022- day 19 of prayer and fasting 

Judges 7:5-7 So he brought he people down to the water. And the Lord said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink.” Then the Lord said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand...”

God was revealing the spirituality of life. Separation and drinking of the water at the river (relationship with the Holy Spirit) is what determined their deliverance and victory in the battles they fought.

Acts 1:4 Wait for the Promise of the Father,...

Jesus commanded the disciples to wait because He knew that a relationship with the Holy Spirit is the key to manifestation in the Christian life.

Regardless of being conceived in the womb by the Spirit, Jesus never started His ministry on earth until the Holy Spirit came UPON Him (Luke 1:35, Luke 3:22).

John 1:32 “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained UPON Him.

Much as we are born of the Spirit and have the indwelling presence of the Lord, what makes us have dominion and relevancy in our calling is the Spirit UPON.

Jesus permitted the Holy Spirit to permanently rest UPON Him and this is what gave Him a distinction from men of God in the past generations.

Ephesians 4:30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,...

The advantage we have as believers is the indwelling of the Spirit (Christ in us). However, it is the SPIRIT UPON (you in Christ) that determines our manifestation which is influenced by our relationship with the Holy Spirit.

That's why the Lord is calling us to the river to break, hunger, and thirst for Him (Psalms 42:1-2, Jeremiah 29:13, John 6:35, Isaiah 57:15).

2 Timothy 2:20-21 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

Christ in us has already laid the foundation. We must reach out to what He has already done through fellowship with the Holy Spirit to manifest the life of God in us (Philippians 3:14).

We cleanse ourselves by not only being available but usable vessels and obeying Him (Holy Spirit)  that He may find expression through our lives.

REVELATION OF SONSHIP BY THE HOLY SPIRIT 

Thursday 20th January 2022- Day 18 of prayer and fasting 

John 16:7 It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

Jesus meant that the disciples no longer needed Him but the fellowship of the Holy Spirit to walk into their next phase as SONS of God. 

He is the helper that God has assigned to guide and direct us.

John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Many believers are conscious of their humanity forgetting that there is a divine side that is capable of putting them above being ordinary humans (Matthew 4:4). 

You can not manifest what you are not conscious of (Romans 8:17, Psalms 82:6). That's why Jesus came to show us how to handle life as sons of God and not mere men.

Luke 4:1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

Jesus was no longer on His own when He got filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:21-22).

This explains why fellowship with the Holy Spirit is key in  REVEALING the SONSHIP we have received from our Father (Zechariah 4:6).

Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

You can never reveal your SONSHIP until your life is filled with the HOLY SPIRIT whereby you speak, reason, and behave like Him and not like a mere man (Galatians 5:16, Romans 8:2). 

You can be in Spirit by virtue of being born again and not walk in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit means letting your choices, speech, etc to be under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 44:3 I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants,...

It is hunger and thirst that cause God to flood our souls through the Holy Spirit (Psalms 42:1-2, John 6:35).

This should not be a one-time but an everyday experience till every word and activity is under His influence.

MORE OF YOU LORD

Wednesday 19th January 2022 Prayer and fasting Day 17

Psalms 63:1-2 O God, You [are] my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

We pour our heart(s) to you oh Lord as individuals, church, nation, generation, etc that you may reveal Yourself to us. Quench our hunger and thirst.

Touch us one more time and cause us to see the other side of You as we seek and call upon Your name. 

Deuteronomy 11:14 then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

Flood us with the rain of Your glory, deliverance, healing, etc in our nation, families, children, parents, schools, workplaces for this is the SET TIME for us to experience Your rain in our land.

Isaiah 46:10 (NIV) I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'

We agree with the Word that Your purpose may be done in our lives, nation, land, city, etc on account of Your will.

We remove every limitation we have put on you due to experience, the knowledge we have acquired, etc. Have mercy on us, oh Lord.

Daniel 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to him, "King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.

May you speak and reveal Yourself in our land as you did to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

THE KAIROS MOMENT

Tuesday 18th January 2022 Prayer and fasting Day 16

Psalms 102:13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the SET TIME, has come. 

Kairos moment means SET TIME.

Acts 1:6-8 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know TIMES or SEASONS which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;...

The TIMES and SEASONS we are in are not ordinary. You should therefore not act ordinarily.

You will have to pay a heavy price or use a lot more effort to step into what the Lord has called you to do if you miss out on your SEASON.

Mark 10:47-48 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Bartimaeus discerned the SEASON. He knew that this was the only opportunity he had and it would cost him a lot If he missed it.

That's why he threw away his dignity, modernity, mannerism, religion, etc and cried out at his highest when he was told that Jesus was passing ( Mark 10:50 )

It was no longer a cry of a beggar, but a cry for a man who wanted restoration of sight. 

Such a cry attracts the attention of heaven.

Mark 10:51-52 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

Are you still crying as a beggar or someone who wants his sight back?

We can't pray normally (religiously) anymore. We have to put our everything (heart, mind, etc) into what we are praying because this is the SET TIME ( kairos moment ).

May the Holy Spirit help us to throw away every USUAL GARMENT and come wholeheartedly to Jesus for this is the SET TIME.

Mathew 15:22-28

STAY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, WE LOVE YOU. PASTOR BEN OCHOLA.!

Everything spiritual must be done in FAITH to have relevance or impact on the other side.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God MUST BELIEVE that He is, and that HE IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

God is still in the business of doing wonders. You MUST only keep believing that He can still do today and tomorrow what He did yesterday (Hebrews 13:8, Acts 10:34).

Luke 18:1-8 ...Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find FAITH on the earth?"

Do you have faith in God?

Men faint when they don't see immediate manifestations of the answers to their prayers.

There is no area of your life you are trusting the Lord for that is not covered by cavalry. 

Every prayer finds its divine answer in the perfect sacrifice of cavalry (Isaiah 53:5, 2 Corinthians 8:9, 2 Corinthians 1:20).

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Walking by faith and not by sight makes you immovable.

Luke 5:5 .... "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net."

Jesus spoke the Word and Peter released his faith by his action. Your action shows your faith (James 2:18).

Faith is a key aspect in divine activity, and any spiritual activity done outside faith yields zero results (Hebrews 11:6).

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death,  "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

To please God means to walk in FAITH consistently. 

We live, walk and stand by FAITH (Galatians 3:11,2 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 11:20).

Isaiah 51:2 Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him."

The Bible commands us to look to Abraham and Sarah. They provide the best example for the seekers of God.

Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

There is always a scripture(s) that supports that vision/ dream that God has given you because the SPOKEN word responds to the WRITTEN word ( John 1:1). 

You only need to align yourself to the WORD and watch the wonders God will do for you.

 May you be strengthened in your FAITH as you pray along with this audio.

THEME: HOW TO ACTUALIZE YOUR PROPHECIES. 

TITLE:SPEAKING THE RIGHT WORDS

Sunday 16th January 2022-Day 14 of prayer and fasting - second service

Judges 6:34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet;...

When the Spirit comes upon you, you need to speak because your mouth is your trumpet. 

Genesis 1:2-3 ... And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

When the Holy Spirit moved, God spoke. 

The moment you sense the anointing moving, begin to SPEAK what you want to see. The Holy Spirit will manifest your words.  

Proverbs 6:2 You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.

Your mouth is your trap, When you speak good you are trapped by good and when you speak evil you are trapped by evil. 

That is why you need to speak The Word consistently until you see it manifest in your life. (Psalms 119:105)

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

One way to manifest the word of God in your life is by putting it on your lips. 

When the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles, He changed their tongues. (Acts 2:4)

James 3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle guide the whole body.

Your tongue controls your body.

If you want to see the manifestation, you must consistently speak what you want. 

James 3:3-4 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.

James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things...

Your tongue though small can take you wherever you want to go.

ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE

Saturday 15th January 2022 

Matthew 9:13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

God prizes mercy above sacrifices.

Romans 5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Mercy is an outflow of love. 

God is more concerned with where the prayers come from (the heart).

1 Corinthians 13:1-13... And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Everything that flows out of love never disappoints.  That's why you ought to increase your capacity to love.

Cross-examine yourself and see where you are lagging in any of the attributes of LOVE and ask the Holy Spirit (spirit of LOVE) to help you.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Both the I(self) and Christ can not live at the same time. "I" must die for Christ to live in you. 

Isaiah 58:3 (GNT)The people ask, “Why should we fast if the Lord never notices? Why should we go without food if he pays no attention?” The LORD says to them, “The truth is that at the same time you fast, you pursue your own interests and oppress your workers.

The primary reason for fasting is to surrender and allow the Lord to transform us. This is the kind of fasting that yields results.

Ephesians 3:14-17 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE

 May the Holy Spirit ground and root our hearts in LOVE because it is the foundation for Christianity.

THE MOVE OF SPIRIT IS THE ANSWER 

Thursday 13 January 2022-Day 11 of prayer and fasting

Psalms 69:9 Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

May the Master stir up the zeal for His house, restoration of the body, and the salvation of the lost in our spirits ( 2 Kings 10:16).

No science, economics, or politics has the answer to what we see in the land and across the globe (corruption, evil, etc).

The answer is the MOVE of the SPIRIT of GOD and He will only come to our rescue when we seek His face ( John 3:31 ).

Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me

If Jesus recognized that it would take the HOLY SPIRIT to come upon the disciples to fulfill their commission, then we can not circumvent or create new ways of doing it.

The MOVE of the SPIRIT is what our nation and the entire globe need to fix the mess. 

Psalms 110:3 (KJV) Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of hell, and from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The hearts of men can not be fixed by laws and regulations, professors, teachers, etc but by the TOUCH of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Let's be like our forefathers who fell on their knees and prayed for the MOVE of the HOLY SPIRIT because He is the answer to it all.

STAY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, WE LOVE YOU. PASTOR BEN OCHOLA!
