DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
There is a Japanese word, kintsukuroi, that means “golden repair.” It is the art of restoring broken pottery with gold so the fractures are literally illuminated – a kind of physical expression of its spirit. As a philosophy, kintsukuroi celebrates imperfection as an integral part of the story, not something to be disguised. The artists believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful.
The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, who is there to repair the broken fragments of our shattered lives and make us beautiful and useful again. In this passage, Jesus comforts His followers and reassures them that His departure would benefit them. He promised they would have a new power and effectiveness in prayer. Above all, the Holy Ghost (whom He called another Comforter – like Himself) would always come to abide with them. He said that with the coming of the Holy Ghost, those who believe in Him would have access to power to do greater works than they had seen Him do. The Holy Ghost will teach, counsel, bring to their remembrance the words of Jesus and reveal things to them. However, on their part, the disciples are expected to respond in obedience as a mark of their trust and love for Christ. Jesus says that the valid evidence of loving Him is to obey His commandments.
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the divine Trinity who enables believers to do the works of Jesus. He represents Jesus Christ just as Jesus represented the Father on earth. Thus, the Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus and never draws attention to Himself. He does in believers what Christ would have done if He were physically here on earth. At Pentecost, the promise of the Holy Ghost’s coming was fulfilled, and since then, He has remained with the Church. The Holy Spirit will not abide with sinners, because the world cannot receive Him. There is need for salvation from sin, and sanctification of the heart from self, before He comes.
Our greatest need as believers today is a renewed manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s abiding presence in our lives and ministry. We need Him to guide, teach, correct, empower and illuminate us in the inner man. Without Him, a believer is helpless and powerless. The chariot wheels of our witness and labour for God will drive heavily without the anointing of the Holy Ghost. The question is, have you received the Holy Spirit? Why not prioritise the baptism of the Holy Spirit in your life today?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Holy Spirit helps our infirmity!
