The Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) Traveling Secretary for the Takoradi Sector, Pastor Emmanuel Opoku Mensah, has encouraged Christians to fashion a nearer relationship with the Holy Spirit.
"As Christians, we really want to stroll with the Holy Spirit and give Him a nearby checking. If we have any desire to prevail in this Christian excursion and have the countries, we want to stick to the Holy Spirit consistently in light of the fact that we can't manage without His assistance," he said during the peak of the worldwide festival of the Pentecost Week at the assembly room of PENSA-Takoradi Technical University last Sunday.
Talking on the point: "Keep A Close Marking With The Holy Spirit," the Traveling Secretary said that the Holy Spirit has been given to each Christian to get ready and present them to Christ Jesus Christ, who is the spouse.
Involving 2 Kings 2:1-15 as sacred writing reference, he said that the last minutes before Elisha acquired a twofold piece of his lord Elijah's mantle was kept in the Bible to show devotees how to walk intimately with the Holy Spirt in this age.
"Mantles are not required in Heaven; rather, they are expected to serve here on the planet. Before Elisha got Elisha's mantle, he needed to do a few things and these are the things we should likewise look to do today to get the mantles of our forbearers," he said.
To get the mantle, Pastor Mensah noted, Elisha needed to reliably and perseveringly follow the expert as far as possible with full focus.
That's what he said, in spite of the fact that Elijah attempted to stop him at Gilgal, Elisha persevered and followed him to Bethel, Jericho lastly to Jordan, where he got what he wanted.
Minister Mensah, thusly, encouraged Christians to try to walk intimately with the Holy Spirit at all cost similarly as Elisha strolled intimately with his lord.
Clarifying further, the Traveling Secretary said that every one of the towns that Elisha followed Elijah to had scriptural and profound meanings for the adherent,
As per him, Gilgal, and that implies moving away the censure of transgression, is the initial step of each and every devotees stroll with the Holy Spirit. He expressed that to stroll with the Spirit, one should be ready to execute everything of the tissue and be prepared to satisfy God consistently.
He further made sense of that Bethel, which is the following objective, is the phase of the excursion where one places their confidence in God and rely upon him alone for divine provision.
"Subsequent to managing the tissue, you will never again believe in the tissue, yet rather you put all your expectation and confidence in the Lord to see you through the Christian excursion," he said.
Jericho, then again, he made sense of, is the stage where God opens another section for the devotee. It is the stage where God starts to change the devotee's life, he added.
Minister Mensah said that, at Jordan, the last phase of the stroll with the Holy Spirit, the adherent would now get the twofold piece of the blessing of the Holy Spirit to do takes advantage of in His name.
He, accordingly, encouraged Christians to endeavor to go through every one of the phases of the stroll with the Holy Spirit to get the mantle expected to have the countries for the Lord.
"I supplicate that the Lord will lead us through this multitude of stages and assist us with getting the shelf. We want to manage the tissue, trust in God, get our profound love for the fight to come and embrace the new section the Lord will open for us. That is the point at which we can have the countries," he charged.
