Hello guys!
One of the things the Holy Spirit does is to make us faithful. Being faithful means staying true to what we believe till the end.
TOPIC: Holy Spirit makes us faithful
TEXT: Acts 7, Matthew 25:14-30.
Once we accept Christ as our Lord and savior, one becomes a faithful child of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. This happens because the Holy Spirit gives one boldness to obey God’s commandment always.
The disciples of Jesus Christ were faithful even till the point of death. An example of Jesus disciple who did not compromise was Stephen. The people stoned him yet he did not deny Jesus. Stephen was no longer in control of his own life, but the Holy Spirit was. When the Holy Spirit dwells in us, it means we have God in us and He will keep us faithful and steadfast till He comes or takes us home.
The Holy Spirit guides our talents properly.
There is no human creation of God without God’s given talent. What is talent? Talent are abilities that we are born with. The talents are given to every man according to his/ her abilities. The Holy Spirit guides our talents and helps us to use them properly.
According to Matthew 25:14-30, a master gave three of his servants talents and money to trade with, while he embarked on a journey. Of the three servants, only the first and second servant traded with their talents and earned double more. While the third servant buried his own talent, and brought them out when the master arrived. The master commended the two wise servants and scolded the third servant and collected the talents from him and added it to the wise servants talents.
It is good for us to use our God given talent well. If we don’t, God will retrieve or collect the talents from lazy people, He will then give it to the zealous and hardworking children of His.
The holy Spirit bear witness in us
We must pray the Holy Spirit guide us on a daily basis. If we live sinless, righteous and holy life, the Holy Spirit will continually abide in us and guide us in all we do. We must always pray to Him to guide us in all truth.
Aside sin, another thing that hinders or stop us from using our talents right is laziness. Some Christians are lazy, they do not want to work. So for God to guide our talents properly and for the Holy Spirit to bear witness in us, we must be diligent and hardworking.
