MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 8TH JANUARY 2026

The Holy Spirit, the Third Person in the Trinity, plays multifaceted roles in the lives of believers. He is our Abiding Guest (John 14:16), our Teacher and Remembrancer (John 14:26), our Testifier (John 15:26), our Reprover (John 16:7-8), our Guide, the Voice of God, the Prophet (John 16:13), the Glorifier of Jesus (John 16:14), the Exhibitor of Jesus (John 16:15), the Spiritual Dynamo (Acts 1:8), the Witness to Sonship (Romans 8:16), our Helper in prayer (Romans 8:26), our Solicitor (Revelation 22:17). These are just a few of His roles that the Bible reveals to us.

In John 14:16, our memory verse, Jesus gave a promise to His disciples, “And I will pray the Father and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.” What brought this about? Jesus had told them that He would soon depart from them and go back to His Father. That news destabilised and saddened them. Jesus had been everything to them, and they must have feared that they would not be able to cope with life and ministry challenges without Him being with them physically. Jesus perceived their fear and worry. So, He assured them that He would give them another Comforter of His own kind or a Helper like Him who would never depart from them forever.

Beloved, the Holy Spirit is the Another Comforter that Jesus has given you and me as well as all His other followers and disciples to indwell us, teach us God’s word, guide us into truth, remind us of what Jesus has taught us and help us to apply them to our lives positively. He works in us to give us His peace (John 14:27), His love (John 15:9-10), and His joy (John 15:11). He comforts our hearts and minds in a troubled world. He also gives us the ability to live by the Spirit and not the flesh and He produces His fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23) to the glory of God the Father. It is indeed a great blessing to have the Holy Spirit in our lives as our Paraclete.
