I enjoyed something we touched in the sisters bible study today on campus.
John 3:34 " For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for He gives the Spirit not by measure."
How wonderful that we can receive the Spirit in abundance! and John 6:63b speaks some more on the 'words' mentioned in John 3:34. John 6:63b "the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life." The words mentioned here is the rhema word, this is the instant speaking of God. The Spirit is embodied in His words. When we receive His words by exercising our spirit, we get the Spirit, and we get Him as the the Spirit without measure! I also enjoyed to see that in John 3:34 it is because of the bountiful Spirit that Christ spoke the words of God, and the wonderful thing is we have the Spirit in us without meaure. When we touch the Spirit we touch the instant word of God. In Mark 13:11 we see that the Spirit can speak for us, and when the Spirit is speaking for us we speak the words of God! Mark 13:11b "do not be anxious beforehand about what you should speak, but whatever is given to you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit." Praise the Lord we have the speaking Spirit in our spirit! Lord praise You for the speaking of the Spirit, let us keep turning towards You moment-by-moment and receive Your fresh speaking.
This is a short post just to share about our celebration meeting. The celebration meeting was today, students from Pretoria, Johannesburg and Roodepoort came together to share their portion of Christ.
This is a very sweet time where we speak our enjoyment of the past 6 months to build each other up and nourish one another with Christ.
1 Corinthians 14:3 "But he who prophesies speaks building up and encouragement and consolation to men."
1 Corinthians 14:31 "For you can all prophesy one by one that all may learn and all may be encouraged."
I enjoy these two verses very much, we all can speak in the meetings, it is good for us to stand up and speak something, even if it is a short word, because the speaking is for the building up of the body. Lord open our mouths to speak.
After today's meeting I am truly encouraged by all the students and how much they love the Lord, O Lord Jesus we love You! I was so exited to see how many students had a portion of Christ to share! Praise the Lord He is moving on the campuses in South Africa!
Two students also got baptised today after the meeting, praise the Lord! I pray that there will be many more.
Lord move in South Africa! Gain more ground in this country for the building of Your body.
