" Ask, and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you ". Matthew 7:7

But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY PEACE, FORBEARANCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF-CONTROL. Against such things there is no law ."- Galatians 5:23

PRAYER INTENTIONS

1. Pray for FELLOWSHIP and communion with the Holy Spirit- that you may grow in your walk with the Holy Spirit.

2. Pray for any 'FRUIT (s) of the HOLY SPIRIT* that you lack in your life. Please be specific if you realize you need JOY , GOODNESS and PEACE for instance, pray for that.

3. For the many times that we have driven the HOLY SPIRIT out of our lives, families, communities, homes, churches, let us repent and pray for God not to take away his spirit from us- let us pray for renewal and restoration-

IN FELOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT-

“ The GRACE and PEACE of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the FELLOWSHIP of the Holy Spirit be with you ”- 2 Corinthians 13:14

• LOVE OF GOD refers to the generosity/benevolent- expression in God’s dealing with men- the love of God must work in you- the love of God is revealed in the person of Jesus and his sacrifice in response to the Father’s love- John 3:16

• GRACE as we taught in our last conference- refers to every good and perfect gift from God. Grace – refers to the DIVINE INFLUENCE on the HUMAN SPIRIT. It is the outworking or outward reflection of the beauty, power, perfection, excellence, virtue, and glory of divinity in your human spirit. The supernatural endowment that causes you to flourish and excel in all you do .

• COMMUNION of the HOLY SPIRIT- I want us to dwell on this aspect- the communion, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Let’s talk about the communion with the Holy Spirit -

• FELLOWSHIP – partnership is a product of fellowship- many people want partnership but not fellowship- many people want to work with, they want to partner the Holy Spirit- but don’t want a relationship with him - the starting point should be fellowship, relationship and partnership.

The HOLY SPIRIT like we established is a REAL PERSON- So when the HOLY SPIRIT comes into your heart, the FIRST thing He wants to do is not signs and wonders- that is where most of us get it wrong- the ultimate ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life is FELLOWSHIP- He makes “ thy kingdom come ” possible in your life- Our Father, who art in heaven- hallowed be your name- your kingdom come- your will be done on earth as it is in heaven- give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us- and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil -

Only the Holy Spirit can make all of this possible-making God’s kingdom come, giving us this day our daily bread, forgiving us our sins, delivering us from evil and leading us not into temptation- all this can only happen when we are in FELLOWSHIP with the HOLY SPIRIT - all of the things you are looking for can be found in a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

The miracles almost all of you are looking for are a by-product of fellowship- with the Holy Spirit- the grace and favour that you are looking for are a by-product of fellowship with the Holy Spirit- the answered prayers you are earnestly seeking are a by products of fellowship- FELLOWSHIP- FELLOWSHIP- FELLOWSHIP- is the Holy Spirit your friend? Are you in fellowship with the HOLY SPIRIT- am talking about a relationship- not demanding, asking or petitions- God give me this, give me that - a relationship- knowing the Holy Spirit more and more- relationship.

Here is the issue- We know what his power can do but we don’t know him- the proof that you know the HOLY SPIRIT is that you SUBMIT YOUR WILL for his characteristics to find expressions through you. That your life will reflect the characteristics and various dimensions- of the Holy Spirit- that when we look at you -all we see are the FRUITS of the spirit at work in your life- that we can no longer trace your human characteristics- we can hardly describe your earthly personality- you have been swallowed by the HOLY SPIRIT to the extent that your lingua franca and modus operandi is basically that of the Holy spirit-

When you fellowship with the Holy Spirit- we will see it- you will smell like him. There is no way you can come out of smoke and not smell like smoke- same way there is no way you can have business with the Holy spirit and not smell like him. Do you smell like the Holy Spirit?

Do you have a relationship with the Holy Spirit- When you can prove that you carry his presence- that’s why prayer was designed as a spiritual system to know him. Jesus said when you pray shut your doors- and say, “aba father- who art in heaven- your kingdom come- your influence- your personality come ”- you may think you don’t have the strength when you want to pray- give him time- pursue-Deep intimacy- begin the atmosphere with worship- deep intimacy that’s what worship does- don’t ever give an excuse- you will always make time for what you love- you should have the attitude of always being with the Holy Spirit.

And when you fellowship- the Holy spirit will begin to reveal certain things to you in private- the Holy Spirit will never reveal certain things to you in public- you must learn to pray in the quietness of you heart- shut your door, as Jesus will say. There are certain things the spirit will only communicate to you in private- God has been looking for some of you since, to communicate the way out to you, to communicate the exit strategy, to communicate the breakthrough plan- he doesn’t want a middle man- but your inability to have a fellowship with the Holy Spirit is costing you.

ADVANTAGES OF FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

• In the news, 14 year old student of Miracle Educational Academy Junior High School at Sunyani – Leticia Kyere Pinaman has allegedly committed suicide- she was found hanging in school’s dining hall. This is from the Daily Graphic May 18, 2021. I saw her picture - beautiful girl- so what could have made a young pretty girl like this to commit suicide- well she left a note and the note read “ I am not happy, this world is full of sorrow and pain, I can’t live anymore and I want to die ”- https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/16-year-old-student-found-hanging-in-school-s-dining-hall.html

• I have worked in an all girls- Senior high school, and my mind was blown away by the challenges this little ones face- when they open up to me- the kind of things they tell me they have been through- God have mercy.

The Lack of Joy will make you contemplate suicide- am telling you- it’s serious ooh, if life has not come after you before you won’t relate with what am talking about-

• JOY is one of the blessings of his presence- you don’t care about storms- everyone sees trouble surrounding you- but you are still joyful and they don’t get it that- “ the joy of the Lord is our strength ” Nehemiah 8:10- let me tell you a secret- JOY is not of this kingdom, it is not a physical thing- JOY, is a spiritual reality- which only God can give -

See eerrh depression is a sign, the HOLY SPIRIT is far from you- take it from me, Jesus kraa will back me up- this world eeerh, the troubles, the challenges, they will crush you if you allow them- too many people will annoy you- life will annoy you- friends and lovers will annoy you- TRUE JOY comes from ABOVE- Is your joy so small- “ with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation ” Isaiah 12:3-5– the joy of the Lord is your strength- there are thousand and one things that can make u angry-

Say after me, “ the Joy of the Lord is my strength ”… and after saying it, develop, cultivate and sustain a relationship with the Holy Spirit- that’s the only way you get JOY.

LISTEN UP- Your certificates, marriage, family, education, money, politics, achievements will not give you JOY - Joy is a spiritual reality that only the HOLY SPIRIT can give- that is why a man like JOB will lose his entire estate but will still be joyful in the Lord. You should be so joyful that people will be surprised when they get to know what you were going through- I am a very joyful person- people do all kind of stupid things around me- but am ever joyful- no matter what-

• Fellowship with the Holy Spirit will give you PEACE- PEACE means amongst other beautiful things, POWER OVER CRISIS. It’s translated from the Greek word “eir é n é ,” which is akin to the Hebrew word “ SHALOM .”

PEACE /SHALOM doesn’t just refer to the state of being safe from evil and destruction, but to that which brings rest and prosperity, and don’t forget the Holy Spirit taught us that prosperity is more than finances. We have spiritual prosperity, relational prosperity, emotional prosperity, mental prosperity just to mention a few. When you have the PEACE of Jesus Christ, it means you have POWER OVER CRISIS, and are at rest in prosperity.

That’s the kind of life Jesus had when He walked the face of the earth: He was full of GRACE, PEACE and TRUTH, and was at rest and in control, every time, every day, everywhere and in all circumstances! No wonder he could sleep in the middle of a storm and when people were ranting and worrying, He was always calm. Some of you don’t know what is peace- you have no peace in your hearts, no peace in your relationships, no peace in your marriage, no peace in your family, no peace in your church, no peace at your work place- no peace in your home- PEACE . Cultivate fellowship with the Holy Spirit and you will receive peace- you will be calm no matter what, when you have peace- calmness is your signature-

• Fellowship with the Holy Spirit brings you the spirit of GENTLENESS- some of you are too erratic-too erratic- once you find yourself always fighting, always on the offensive and defensive- you are not a gentle person- So we are all moving in an orderly manner as soon as you appear then everything must turn upside down- your middle names are “ scatter ”- “ Divide ”- “ turn upside down ”- So you fight over everything, you fight over water, food, chairs, time, resources, kerosene, you are always engage in a fight, what kind of human being are you- you need the Holy Spirit-
