November 9, Here is the account of the work of the Holy Spirit in Genesis; in the very beginning!
The Holy Spirit in the Bible – GENESIS
1:2 “The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters" This is the way creation took place. God Himself had to acknowledge the role of His third personality to pave the way for His creation pronouncement in verse 2. God acknowledged Him, permitted Him to play His role and things worked out well. So we too must do!
Genesis 6:3 “And the Lord said, my Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years”
It was by His Spirit that God had to overlook the wickedness of man (vs. 5 -7). Mercy followed when Noah was identified as “found grace in the eyes of the Lord “(vs.8) therefore contention between God's Spirit and man had to be intervened with. We should also pray that no matter what our spiritual set back “let the Holy Spirit not strive with me in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Genesis 41:38 “And Pharaoh said to his servants, can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is in the Spirit of God?” This heathen king acknowledged that the potential abilities of Joseph were not unconnected with the indwelling performance of the Holy Spirit. And because of the irrevocable genuineness of the anointed result oriented ministry of Joseph, Pharaoh voluntarily relinquished his kingly position to him. (V 38-41). We must reign by the Holy Spirit indwelling presence in every facet of life in the name of Jesus.
