OUR SECRET TO SUCCESS

07/12/2024

"I said, ‘Age should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’ But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding." (Job 32:7-8)

As Christians, we possess a wisdom that surpasses that of our peers, thanks to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the greatest teacher we could ever need. While some might argue that experience is the best teacher, nothing could be further from the truth. The Holy Ghost is the best teacher of anything you might need to learn. The Bible states, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you" (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit is here to teach you not just some things, but all things, making you a reference point for others in your social circle.

In these last days, the Holy Spirit distinguishes God's children from the rest of the world by providing them with an understanding beyond the ordinary. You might wonder, an understanding of what? An understanding of anything and everything you seek. There is absolutely no reason why believers should not excel in any subject more than their unbelieving peers, thanks to the Holy Spirit.

Daniel 6:3 says, "Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm." This same Spirit has made you His temple, and by virtue of His presence in your heart, you are meant to be ahead of your contemporaries. 1 John 4:4 says, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." If the Greater One lives in you, there ought to be proof from the outcomes of your life.

The challenge, however, is that many haven't fully embraced the presence and teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. You are supposed to know more than your unbelieving peers. 1 John 2:20 (AMP) says, "But you have an anointing from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specially gifted and prepared by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the truth because He teaches us, illuminates our minds, and guards us from error]."

So, I challenge you to approach the Holy Spirit today with a challenge or series of challenges. Whether you want to learn a new language, obtain a difficult certification, or create a product, the Holy Spirit is there to assist you. If you are preparing for an exam, the Lord is saying to you, "Take advantage of Me to excel in your exams." Be intentional about seeking His help and wait for His guidance through the process. You were born different! Speak in other tongues.

God bless you.

Faith-Filled Confession

Precious Holy Spirit, I love you. I thank you because you teach me things that I need to know in this season of harvest to reposition myself, my loved ones, and my environment for your next move. Hallelujah!

Prayer Direction

During the fast, a word of prophecy came forth: “Every ONLY will become the FIRST.” Today, we are praying and declaring a multiplication of grace, favor, and testimonies in our family.

Pray against every attempt of hell to cause confusion and division in your family. Declare that the peace and joy of God overwhelm your family.
