The Twenty (20) Decreed Currencies of the Holy Spirit – 3
Understanding the Holy Spirit
One thing I have observed
about the Holy Spirit is his persistence. No one in and outside this world can
surpass the perseverance of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit wants to
deliver you, He will keep reminding you of the problem (the stumbling block).
The Holy Spirit will keep
pressing you about the particular issue because He wants you to eliminate it.
Until you deal with the problem, he will not stop talking to you. The Holy
Spirit will remind you of salvation even if you backslide.
Only those who denounce Christ
Jesus and make a covenant with the devil cut their communication line with the
Holy Spirit. Even for that one, the Holy Spirit has a way of speaking to those
vessels.
If you want a faithful
friend, father, mother, lover, sibling, comforter, guide, prophet, teacher, and
leader, choose the Holy Spirit because He is the perfect person. The Holy
Spirit is my best friend. He speaks to me in several ways.
I have realized that the
Holy Spirit is not just a wind, fire, water, or name recorded in the Holy Bible.
The Holy Spirit is real! He will reveal himself to you when you show interest
in Him. The Holy Spirit will not promise and fail you.
Like family and friends,
who promise and often fail us, the Holy Spirit abides by his word (promise).
Our problem is unbelief and conscious disobedience to the Word of God. Sometimes,
you need patience to receive the promise of the Holy Spirit.
One master key to
activate the promise (blessings) of the Holy Spirit is obedience. When the Holy
Spirit or the Holy Bible tells you to do something, and you do it, Christ Jesus
(God Almighty) will supply.
The more you prolong the
instruction of the Holy Spirit, the longer you extend (delay) the manifestation of the blessings and
opportunities. I have realized that we often allow the things of this world to limit
the blessings of the Holy Spirit.
We often expect the Holy
Spirit to work in a specific way. However, the ways of the Holy Spirit are
unexplainable (meditate on Isaiah 55:6-9). If you obey his voice, He can touch
someone’s heart to supply the things you need to accomplish the task.
From my experience with
the Holy Spirit, He often allows the enemy to “punish” us when we resist his
instructions. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit allows the enemy to block us because
we disobey his voice.
The Holy Spirit allows
the enemy to block us because He wants us to return to the right path. Even at
this stage, the enemy's "attacks" work for our good (see Romans
8:28). I have had several instructions from the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit speaks to
me in dreams and visions. He tells me to travel to specific places to preach
the gospel. When I get the visions, dreams, and instructions from the Holy
Spirit to travel to particular towns, villages, schools, and cities to preach
the gospel, I often allow the things of the world to limit me.
I give excuses that I
don't have the finances to travel to the prescribed places. However, the moment
I obey the instructions of the Holy Spirit and travel to the specified
location, people supply me with funds to do the work.
I get more finances to do
the work of God after the obedience. There’ve been several instances where the
Holy Spirit speaks to me in dreams and visions to evangelize in specific
institutions, villages, and towns.
I give excuses.
Sometimes, I challenge the Holy Spirit that if he has sent me, he should supply
the finance. Faithful to his word, people, I never expected to give the funds
to embark on the mission send the money.
Sometimes, I receive
enough (more than expected) finances and connections. I get enough finances to
buy extra things because of obedience. I’m still growing in the Lord. I have
seen that if we obey the instructions of the Holy Spirit and Holy Bible, the
Holy Spirit supplies.
How we expect the Holy
Spirit to help us will differ from his strategy. The Holy Spirit works miraculously.
He can use anyone, anything, and anybody to support us. One of the spiritual
fathers who encouraged me is Abraham.
Reading the book of
Genesis, especially the section describing the call of Abraham, grows my faith.
God told Abram to leave his father’s house and settle in a land he would show
him. Abram moved out of his father's house with his wife and possessions.
When Abram obeyed the
instructions of God, he received a new name. God changed his name to Abraham. Abraham's
obedience (faith) and God's faithfulness encouraged me. If God were faithful to
Abraham, he would be loyal to me.
Anytime I am about to
travel to an unknown location, I speak to myself; it is well with my soul. I
may need to find out the people in that location. However, if the Holy Spirit
says I should go there and preach the gospel, I will go.
Surprisingly, the people
accept me wherever the Holy Spirit tells me to go. I meet precious vessels that
honor me. However, some exhibit hostile attitudes. If the Holy Spirit sends you
to preach the gospel in a different location, obey his voice.
The Holy Spirit is
faithful. He will help you. The Holy Spirit can use anything and anyone to
support you. Have faith in God. Have faith in the Holy Bible. Believe in the
instructions of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will not
let me down. He will be faithful to his words (meditate on Numbers 23:19, Titus
1:2, Habakkuk 2:3, Luke 21:33). The Holy Spirit will not allow our enemies to
triumph over us.
He will send the workers
and helpers if it is a divine mandate. Trust the Holy Spirit because He is
faithful to his words. Whatever the Holy Spirit tells or reveals to you,
believe it with all your heart.
If you doubt the visions
and instructions of the Holy Spirit, pray about it. Analyze the visions and
dreams with the currency of discernment. Compare the dreams, visions, and
instructions with the Word of God (the Holy Bible).
If the dreams, visions,
and instructions tally with the Word of God, it's from the Holy Spirit (meditate
on 1 John 5:7-8). If you have trusted, godly, knowledgeable, and experiential
spiritual leaders and friends, discuss the visions, dreams, and instructions
you received from the Holy Spirit with them.
They will help you.
However, be rest assured that the Holy Spirit is faithful. Exercise patience.
Sometimes, you must seek the face of God through fasting and prayers. When you
seek the face of God through fasting and prayers, the vision, dreams, and
instructions of the Holy Spirit will be clear.
The fact that the Holy
Spirit has revealed something to you does not mean do it now. Sometimes, the
Holy Spirit shows us the future. He can reveal something to us. However, that
vision or dream will manifest in the next five, ten, or twenty years (meditate
on Habakkuk 2:3).
Be patient. Build your
soul with the Word of God. Develop a strong fellowship and relationship with
the Holy Spirit. The more you do that, the more the Holy Spirit reveals himself
to you. The more you know the Holy Spirit, the stronger your spiritual life is.
In my previous article, I
enumerated eight
currencies of the Holy Spirit. Kindly check out that
article for a more profound revelation. You can also download and read my series of books
for more profound revelations about the Holy Spirit. Do well to share the link to this article with your loved ones and encourage them to share it because the
wisdom and revelation in this article will transform them.
The seven divine currencies of the Holy Spirit
…there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of
Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom
and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and
the fear of the LORD;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and
he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity
for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his
mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness
the girdle of his reins.
Isaiah 11:1-5 KJV
From the above Holy
Scriptures, we can see the Messianic prophecies. The prophecies in the Holy
Scriptures are about our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus. However, the revelations
talk about currencies of the Holy Spirit.
I want to share some of
these currencies with you to help you know the works, leadership, personality,
and power of the Holy Spirit. Knowing these truths will enhance your
relationship and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
1. The Spirit of wisdom
One tangible currency of
the Holy Spirit is wisdom. We often don't see the Holy Spirit with our physical
eyes. However, the Holy Spirit gives us evidence of his presence, power, and
provision. The Holy Spirit reveals Himself in vessels (people) and vicinities
(communities).
If you observe the
unbelievers, you will see they operate with a certain kind of wisdom. Most
often, you will see the unbelievers and religious unbelievers bragging about
their college certificates and achievements.
The world shows us their
discoveries, buildings, ultra-modern roads, and facilities. Ultra-modern roads,
structures, facilities, and discoveries are good. However, they are temporal.
We can value them.
We shouldn't allow these
discoveries and facilities to occupy our minds because they will perish one
day. If a vessel does not know Christ Jesus, he boosts his achievement. That
vessel thinks his achievement makes him wise.
Earthly achievement can
testify to your wisdom. However, that doesn't mean you are wise. The wisdom of
the Holy Spirit surpasses this world's assets and achievements. I remember a
man telling me Christians often allow the things of this world to occupy
their hearts. The man continued many Christians do not value their
eternal blessings.
They forget that they
have heavenly treasures no one can steal from them.
As the man spoke, I analyzed his words. I said to myself, this man is speaking
deep words. If we (Christians) knew what we have, we would not allow the things
of this world to occupy our minds.
This does not mean that
we shouldn't build ultra-modern roads and facilities. I am not endorsing lazy
Christians who sit day and night crying; heaven is my home. A wise person manufactures
great things and builds his spiritual treasures.
The wisdom of the Holy
Spirit leads us to build spiritual mansions and earthly treasures. Anytime you
see a man who wins souls for Christ Jesus and builds the Kingdom of God with
his time, energy, money and assets, that man has the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
However, a man who only
builds earthly treasures and ignores the heavenly treasures lacks the wisdom of
the Holy Spirit. I encourage you to read my book, The Hidden Treasures,
for more profound revelations.
When a man thinks beyond earthly
treasures, he has the wisdom of the Holy Spirit—vessels with the currency of
wisdom value spiritual mansions more than earthly mansions. Spiritual mansions
are eternal.
However, earthly
treasures are temporal. A man with the currency of wisdom sees God’s creation
(human beings, animals, plants, river bodies, and the earth) as little Gods. Vessels
of wisdom value and protect God's creation.
Vessels of wisdom do not discriminate. They respect everyone equally, irrespective of tribe, culture, and status. Only earthly wise people discriminate and respect people they perceive valuable. A man full of the Holy Spirit asks these questions.
- Where will I spend my eternity when my entire body becomes irresponsive?
- What am I investing in the Kingdom of God?
- Is my name recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life?
- What is my purpose?
- How can I identify my purpose?
- How do I accomplish my purpose?
- What value can I add to the race of humankind?
- How do I know God?
These are a few questions
wise vessels ask. A man with the currency of divine wisdom does not only think
about himself. He remembers the poor and vulnerable. A man full of the Holy
Spirit invests in the Kingdom's work.
Despite his earthly
achievement, he avails himself as a living sacrifice in God's Kingdom. A vessel
of wisdom respect, and honor people that crosses his path. A man with the
wisdom of the Holy Spirit sees beyond the natural man.
He can see a manager,
minister, pastor, great star, president, and potential leader in an “unworthy vessel.”
Without the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, you will see everyone as ordinary.
However, with the mind of the Holy Spirit, you see beyond the natural eyes. Do
you have the currency of divine wisdom? Do you have the Holy Spirit? Freely
download and read my series of books on
my blog for more profound revelations.
2. The Spirit of understanding
When a vessel possesses
the currency of understanding, his decisions stand the test of time. People
with an understanding spirit (currency) don't quickly condemn. They gather adequate evidence before concluding.
However, people without
understanding judge without adequate evidence. They are quick to conclude a
matter. People with the currency of understanding analyze the perspective of
each party before concluding.
When a vessel possesses
the currency of understanding, he acts beyond his age mate. His wisdom surpasses
those above and below him. Like Christ Jesus, the religious and unreligious
people of his time couldn’t stand his wisdom (see Matthew 13:53-54).
Because they couldn’t
stand his wisdom, they opposed him. One reason some people attack you is
because your wisdom surpasses their wisdom. Learn how to live and deal with
household enemies.
Freely download and read
my book, The
Mysteries of Household Enemies, on my blog for more
profound revelations. Solomon had the currency of understanding. He did mighty work
because of this currency.
However, he allowed ungodly
women to corrupt his wisdom and understanding. When a man possesses the
currency of understanding, people often misunderstand his actions and
decisions. Weak-minded and corrupt people often oppose vessels with the
currency of understanding (meditate on Matthew 13:53-57).
A man with the currency
of understanding sees beyond the natural eyes. He sees the future. A man with
the currency of understanding knows his limitations. He knows his strengths and
weaknesses.
A man of understanding
walks and lives with the spirit of humility. Most often, people with an
understanding of currency rarely speak. They know the seasons. Vessels of
understanding know the time to talk, the time to keep silent, the time to make “war,”
the time to make peace, the time to plant, the time to build, the time to
destroy, the time to take, and the time to give.
Men of understanding
rarely make mistakes because their decisions are the best. Do you have the
currency of understanding? Do you have the Holy Spirit? Do you surround
yourself with vessels of understanding?
It’s time to build a
strong fellowship and relationship with the Holy Spirit. When you build a
strong relationship and fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the currency of
understanding will work in your life. Freely download and read my series of books
for more profound revelations. The books are free on my blog.
3. The Spirit of counsel
The Holy Spirit is a
counselor. He knows our needs and wants. The Holy Spirit knows our future. In
times of fear, depression, and pain, the Holy Spirit empower us. Parents and
loved ones can show love.
However, the Holy
Spirit’s love and care surpasses all. Build a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
You will experience inner peace, love, and joy. You cannot identify the source
of joy, peace, and love.
However, the joy, peace,
and love will flow in your heart when you become one with the Holy Spirit. People
have money, assets, family, friends, and connections. However, they don’t have
peace, joy, and love.
Money, assets, family,
and friends can generate love, peace, and joy. However, it’s temporal. You will find
that the more you acquire earthly treasures without the Holy Spirit, the more
life burdens you. The fear of death, pretenders, thieves, and unexplainable pressures
will begin to dominate when you ignore the Holy Spirit and chase worldly
things.
You enter the rat racer prison the more you pursue earthly treasures and forget the
Holy Spirit. Your earthly treasures and achievements will become a curse
because you ignored the Holy Spirit.
You may have temporal
pleasures with your earthly treasures. However, deep within, you will feel lost,
sad, incomplete, and depressed. You will feel the money and assets couldn’t
solve your problems.
That’s where you have to
read my books, the top eighteen mistakes people make and the top thirteen mistakes
people make. The books are free on my blog. When the Holy Spirit comes into
our lives, He guides and comforts us.
The Holy Spirit helps us
make decisions that will bring glory to God and humankind. The Holy Spirit
supplies things the world (money, cars, airplanes, jets, yachts, mansions,
friends) cannot provide.
Money, cars, jets,
yachts, mansions, family, and friends are good. However, they have limitations.
Become one with the Holy Spirit because He is the gate to your eternal peace,
joy, and fruitfulness.
Be interested in the
things of God. Sacrifice your time, energy, and assets for the things of God.
Do it from your heart. Praise and worship God in your chambers. The more you do
that, the more the currencies of the Holy Spirit will flow in your heart.
You will understand that
money and earthly things cannot buy certain things. It takes the Holy Spirit to
give you those treasures. The Holy Spirit is the answer to the world's
problems. Don’t give your spare time to the Holy Spirit.
Sacrifice your precious time and resources for the Holy Spirit because He desires to be with you. The Holy Spirit wants to dine with you.
He wants to feel your heart with hope, peace, love, and joy. One
truth you must know is that when a vessel possesses the currency of counsel,
his words bring deliverance.
When a vessel possesses
the currency of counsel, his words bring joy, power, freedom, and faith. A man
with the currency of counsel delights in directing, instructing, managing, and
leading people.
With the currency of
counsel, people desire to seek advice from you. Some people have trained in
psychology, psychiatry, medicine, law, finance, and several professions. They
are “experts” in their fields.
However, a vessel with
the currency of counsel might not have acquired a certificate in law,
psychology, medicine, law, finance and “important certificates,” that vessel
can help people struggling with law, finance, and worldly issues.
It takes the currency of
counsel to help people. It takes the currency of counsel to make perfect
decisions. It takes the currency of counsel to advise nations, leaders,
companies, institutions, and communities. Only vessels with the currency of
counsel can give you eternal advice. To receive this currency, freely download
and read my
books and other series.
The books are free on my blog.
4. The Spirit of might
One identifying mark of
the Holy Spirit is power. Power is in categories. Please read the Mysteries of Power article for more profound revelations. The Holy
Spirit is the manufacturer of power.
Power means the ability
to do something. There will come a time when you will need power to do
something. For instance, medical doctors cannot solve a spiritual problem. It
takes the power of the Holy Spirit to solve spiritual issues.
It is said that no object
crosses the Bermuda Triangle. I have watched documentaries on the Bermuda
Triangle. Several airplanes, ships, and objects vanished at the points of the
Bermuda Triangle.
Some people believe that
there is supernatural power in that arena. There are several strange locations
science and researchers cannot explain. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit
to understand the mysteries.
Some things in life
demand power. For instance, it takes the power of the Holy Spirit to make a
blind man who has visited several hospitals without recovery receive sight. It
takes the power of the Holy Spirit to heal specific diseases.
As a servant of God, no
sickness can live in me because greater is he that lives in me than the one in
this world (meditate on 1 John 4:4). The only time I may become “sick” is when
I fail to take good care of myself.
Maybe overstressing
myself can make me “sick.” I must apply wisdom, rest and eat well. If I apply
wisdom, no sickness can live in me. By the stripes of the Lamb, I am healed! No
weapon formed against me shall prosper!
Every curse, someone, or
any force released against me shall return to sender. That's my faith! I walk
and live with that mindset. That’s the power of might! The Holy Spirit is a
fighter. He fights anything that challenges holiness.
The Holy Spirit is a
deliverer. Wherever he dominates, deliverance takes place. When the Holy Spirit
is active in a vessel, the person does unnatural things. For instance, a vessel
with a mighty currency can lead Christians in spiritual warfare.
A vessel can intercede
for long hours without struggling with the currency of might. It takes the
currency of might to enter the enemy’s territory. It takes the currency of
might to bind the strong man.
Most often, vessels with
the might currency take new territories without struggle. They can enter
hostile environments, win souls, and establish themselves in Christ Jesus. With
the currency of might, the enemy's attacks do not threaten you.
The negative energies of
people and unclean spirits do not dominate a vessel of might. Vessels with the
currency of might dominate the works of the enemy. With the currency of might,
you break through the stronghold and establish the Kingdom with faith.
Despite the opposition,
you stand the ground because the Spirit (currency) of might rest on you. If you
need the currency of might, freely download and read my series
of books and these books.
The books are free on my blog.
5. The Spirit of knowledge
A man can earn the best
certificates from the finest universities. He can even be a professor emeritus.
However, he cannot stand a man with the Spirit (currency) of knowledge. The
knowledge of the Holy Spirit surpasses earthly knowledge.
Earthly knowledge solves
minor issues. However, divine knowledge solves spiritual, soulish, and worldly
problems. By God's grace, the currency of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and
might work in my life.
I have shared some of
these secrets in my
books. Freely download and read the set
on my blog. You can also download and read my wisdom series on
my blog for more profound revelations. Remember, the Holy Spirit is the
supplier of knowledge.
He created our brains. He
knows our temperament, personality, capabilities, and abilities. One of the
ways to test the knowledge base of a man is to check his resistance to sin,
especially sexual immorality.
You might be asking why sexual sins. Will you
sacrifice two to five-minute "pleasure" for a lifetime of torment,
calamities, and pain? It takes a vessel with the currency of knowledge to see the
danger.
It takes a vessel with
the currency of knowledge to avoid danger. It takes the currency of knowledge
to solve the problem. Do you have the currency of knowledge? Are you full of
the Holy Spirit?
6. The Spirit of the fear of the LORD
The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of holiness. He hates sin with a passion. The Holy Spirit will not abide
in an environment of wickedness. This is one reason every evil works in a
corrupt environment (meditate on James 3:16).
When a vessel possesses
the currency of divine fear, he hates sin with passion. Vessels with the
currency of divine fear pursue holiness, righteousness, and purity of life. You
will hardly find a vessel with the currency of divine fear promoting evil
activities.
I encourage you to download and read my book, The Mysteries of Fear, for more profound revelations. Remember, the Holy Spirit dwells in holy vessels and vicinities. When someone claims to have the Holy Spirit yet lives in conscious sin and persists in wickedness, that vessel does not have the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is active in a vessel, He makes the person love holiness and pursue the Kingdom's righteousness.
- Do you have the currency of divine fear?
- Are you born again?
- Do you have the Holy Spirit?
Connect with these prayers to receive the Holy Spirit.
Prayers to receive the Holy Spirit
