THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”: THE ENABLING POWER OF GOD TO ACCESS AND FULFILL PURPOSE IN CHRIST JESUS!
“. . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God . . .” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17.
“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1.
Until redemption in Christ Jesus, the OLD TESTAMENT CREATION people were LED by mere men [people] who serves under God as Prophet, Priest, Kings and Levites, and who were not born again [circumcised in the hearts] otherwise born of God with the Holy Spirit living within them [Romans 2:28-29; Philippians 3:3; John 14:16-27; Romans 5:5]. All of them from the Old Testament till the Gospel, none was born of the Spirit in their spirit-being, in order for them to know, understand and experience God within for themselves [John 3:1-15]. Those in use to accomplish divine purpose in the Old Creation Testament, received the Blessed [empowering] Spirit of God’s BLESSEDNESS UPON them firstly [without living WITHIN them], but ONLY for them to function and carry out the intent [plan, purpose and pursuit] of God as they were instructed in all generation and dispensation until Christ Jesus, that’s when the Spirit WITHIN comes into being for our BLESSEDNESS within. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the divine trinity was concealed [not revealed in person except in function] to those in used in the Old Creation Testament.
“For there are three that bear record [witness] in heaven, THE Father, THE Word, and THE Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.
And God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace in muchly as real as when it’s being by the spiritual empowering – of the Holy Spirit, who is enabling of God, and the ensuring factor that brings God’s promises to physical reality [tangibility] in various formats to all in humanity; unfortunately, most people thinks that God’s BLESSEDNESS [BLESSINGS] are of the physical [tangible] things they see, feel/touch, smell, hear and taste; which unfortunately, it’s not, otherwise it will rot, rust, corrupt, decay, degrade, depreciate and such like, in all things happening under the Sun. And it’s heavenly secured in God’s hands of righteousness, where Christ is seated and we in grace ARE positioned and sitted at the right hands of the Father God, and it’s with no earthly corruptions, counterfeits, distortion and adulteration to undermine its priceless worth in the grace.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:3, 20.
“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT together in HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.
“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES break through and STEAL: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither MOTH nor RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES do not BREAK through nor STEAL: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART [SPIRIT-BEING] be also” Matthew 6:19-21.
For God’s enabled BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] it’s not accompanied with sorrow and such like, but it enriches to all things; and it’s not limited to any to monopolised as it’s irrespective [gender, race, colour, tongue, status, class, geographical location etc], and it’s not governed by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.
“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22.
“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH UNTO ALL that call upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.
“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.
In same scenario, to BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT [HOLY SPIRIT] is another act of the BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] of God in Christ Jesus. That you live and do life in grace by the leading [being led] of God in every of your life decisions, it’s an awesome, gracious and graceful realm to enjoy of God in order to fulfil purpose in your redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord in humanity, knows the virtue of BEING LED of the Spirit, from the onset of His humanity and Ministry until His end of time in our redemption. He knows it takes the Father God BLESSEDNESS to function within His perspectives. And because He was BEING LED of the Holy Spirit, He was able to fulfill the demands of Father God for human redemption with no stone left unturned in His humanity [Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1/Luke 4:1-22; Acts 10:38].
The Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus, can also enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BEING LED of the Holy Spirit. It’s God’s given access to ALL in Redemption that are born of God in Christ Jesus [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8]. That’s what ensures SONSHIP in God in Christ Jesus. [Galatians 4:6-7; Romans 8:14 (8-11, 14-17, 26-40); Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13]. And every believer should crave to ensure that they are BEING LED of God, otherwise satan and cohorts will set up middle men in religious cloaks and will act religiously as your go-between to God which is unscriptural toward religiosity, dogma, bondage and such like [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12]. There are many out there for deception and to pervert and to deceive others of the truth [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18] and BEING LED of the Holy Spirit BLESSEDNESS gives the wisdom from above, to be above only in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 3:15 (13-18)].
I PRAY that you will rise up now in Christ Jesus and thirst and hunger after the BLESSEDNESS of BEING LED by the Holy Spirit of promise – who is the Holy Spirit of the triune [trinity] God [1 John 5:7]. If you act otherwise, it then means you’ve set yourself readily ready to fall prey and victim before the enemy and cohorts of your faith in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Peter 5:8-9; James 3:13-18].

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.

“. . . 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13.
“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:13-18.
