February 25, 2020 ECWA Food For Today Devotional :- KEEPING IN-STEP WITH THE SPIRIT
TUESDAY, 25 FEBRUARY
TEXT: GALATIANS 5: 22 – 25
TOPIC: KEEPING IN-STEP WITH THE SPIRIT
The believer’s source of power to do what pleases and
glorifies God is the Holy Spirit. Zerubbabel is told pointedly that
he would succeed in the project of building God’s Temple and
that the great mountain (barrier) in front of him would not stop
him. But this promise is to be fulfilled not by his power or by
his might but by the Spirit of the LORD Almighty (Zech. 4:6-7).
Interestingly, the LORD brings in the third person of the Trinity,
the Holy Spirit. He is the one who empowers. This fact is
buttressed by Acts 1:8, where Jesus Christ, the second person
of the Trinity, promises the disciples power through the Holy
Spirit.

There is an agreement between the Father and the Son that
the Holy Spirit is the one who empowers for God’s work.
the Holy Spirit is the one who empowers for God’s work.
Consequently, the Apostle Paul in our text today enjoins
believers to keep in-step with the Spirit. When that happens,
not only do believers have power to serve God, they also bear
the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, some claim to have
power to “cast”, “bind” and “loose” but do not show any sign
of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. They lack the fruit of the Holy
Spirit! It is in the fruit of the Holy Spirit that His power really
operates! Does your life bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit? Are
you keeping in-step with Him?

QUESTION: Who is the Holy Spirit to you?
PRAYER: Hold me by the hand, Dear Holy Spirit. Let our
relationship bear Your fruit, Amen.
