THE INSPIRATION OF GOD
Job 32:8 – “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.”
INTRODUCTION
Inspiration – breathing in – is an activity that produces life. In Genesis 2:7, until God’s inspiration entered man, he lay lifeless on the ground. Are you feeling down? You can rise and become functional when you receive the inspiration of the Almighty.
THE SPIRITUAL PANEL
Every man has an inbuilt panel called the spirit, which is receptive to God when rightly connected with Him. Therefore, heaven’s signals from God are only received by Spirit-filled believers in Christ.
PRAYER 1 : Oh Lord, let my heart be receptive to You.
DEVELOPING INSPIRATIONAL GIFTS
According to 1 Corinthians 12:10, prophecy, diverse kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues are gifts of the Spirit, imparted through inspiration. These gifts can be developed through:
- Prayer
- Studying the Word of God
- Worship and Fellowship with God
- Practical Use/ Speaking in tongues
(See 2 Kings 3:15; Psalms 119:99; Hebrews 5:14; Jude 20) PRAYER 2 : Father, inspire me now; let me begin to manifest Spiritual gifts. PRAYER 3 : Speak in tongues for some time if you can or Worship God/ Meditate on all the Bible passages in this message. THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING
1 Chronicles 12:32 – “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.”
One of the blessings of God’s inspiration is the ability to know what to do at the right time. The sharper your spirit, the quicker your spiritual connectivity, receptivity, sensitivity, and appropriate responses. The information received, especially through the Word of God, brings light (Psalms 119:130), understanding, illumination, and direction.
PRAYER 4 : Father, make me a man of quick understanding (Isaiah 11:3 – “And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears”).
PRAYER 5: Father, give me more understanding than all my teachers (Psalms 119:99 – “I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation” ).
CONCLUSION
When you are inspired by God, you will not expire; you will rise, shine, and fulfill your divine purpose. AMEN
