Pastor Tope Awofisayo at Communion Christian Centre on “Dynamics of the Spirit II”
Ezekiel 36:26-30 Dynamics of the Spirit is self governance under the leadership of the Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit setting us ablaze to overcome all the addictions and struggles. It is moving by the speed and power of the Holy Spirit. There are certain things God will not give you because he wants you to grow up to be able to handle those things. Your growth is by the Spirit and revelation of God’s word. It is not by our power or might but by the Spirit of God that we are able to cause changes in the world. Zechariah 4:6. Jesus demonstrated to us that it is difficult to live a life of faith, victory, success and prosperity as believers in this perverse world without the Spirit of God. Our faith functions by the Spirit. Everything that a believer wants to get done is hinged on how close or intimate or functional we are by the Holy Spirit. New creation has nothing to do with the Spirit.
After being born again, the Spirit of God comes afterwards on you to make you sensitive to the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is like an operating system that allows His Spirit function with our Spirit. With the Spirit of God, you have Dunamis (the energy and capability to work)in His statues. Until you have possessed God’s Spirit, you cannot be empowered to prosper or serve Him effectively and walk in the dimension of certain prophecies that have been said concerning you. Ezekiel 36:27. Every believer is spiritually alive. The foundation of everything we do as a believer should be spiritual, even if you are organizing an event. We are not supposed to be subjective to the challenges of this world as long as we possess the Spirit of God.
It is by the Spirit of God that our sense, wisdom and intelligence is upgraded to create wealth and prosper. Wealth is not something we get by our intellectual capacity. It is difficult to possess and lay hold of inheritance without the Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 8:18). It is God who gives the power to make wealth. The Holy Spirit is our best connection. You don’t possess and lay hold of inheritance because you know certain people. Believers, don’t be deceived by what you see. Your best connection is the Holy Ghost. The devil will try to take you back to the past and fill your minds with the things you have done in the past, you have to disconnect from it. Sometimes, when you are going through certain difficulties, you are tempted to think that it is because of the things that you did in the past but you should know that God is not good to you because of the things you did and don’t do. If God was to look at the bad things we have done, no one on Earth will be found worthy. God already blessed us with all the details he wanted us to be blessed with, regardless of the status of our lives. It is the life and Spirit of God that puts us in order. There are lots of things that happens in the dark or night that God saved you from that you don’t know.
There are many spiritual notifications you don’t get but because you are full of the Holy Spirit, you are saved from all those issues. Ezekiel 36:29When you have the Holy Spirit, your responsibility is reduced. He takes care of your matter as His own. You don’t have to struggle too much to get things done. He gives you ideas, organize resources, connects you to people and gives you plenty (Ezekiel 36:29). With the Spirit of God, you have discernment while dealing with people. Don’t just meet and employ people. People are dangerous. By the Spirit, you choose your employees. Some people can either bring down your business or uplift it. Laban’s business was blessed because of Jacob. Laban was a covenant person not even a godly person, Jacob brought him fortune. Believers need to stop looking at things casually. Life is spiritual. Dynamics of the Spirit enables you to be productive (Ezekiel 36:30). Dynamics of the Spirit is not receiving and going back to poverty. It is receiving and becoming productive. It is getting information ahead of others to use to be productive. This doesn’t mean you should be idle. Don’t always wait for people to help you. When people do not help you, God is trying to get your attention to let you know that the help you need is the Spirit which is inside of you (Psalm 46:1).
