Good -Life Devotional: UNDERSTANDING THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

 Galatians 5:16 (AMP)

Christianity is not merely a belief system; it is a Spirit-led life. Romans 8:14 declares, “For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God” (AMP).   Sonship is revealed not by title, age, or activity, but by submission to the Holy Spirit’s leading. In Acts 13:2, while the church ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit spoke clearly, directing the separation of Barnabas and Saul for divine assignment. This shows that the Spirit actively leads God’s people in purpose and mission.

    The Holy Spirit is not an influence or a feeling; He is the third Person of the Trinity. Jesus introduced Him as our Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor, Strengthener, and Standby (John 14:16 AMP). His ministry includes guiding believers into truth, empowering holy living, revealing God’s will, and equipping the church for effective service. Without the Spirit’s leadership, Christian life becomes religious activity without spiritual power.

      Being led by the Spirit begins with yielding. Galatians 5:16 teaches that walking in the Spirit prevents the fulfillment of fleshly desires. Many believers desire God’s power but resist God’s process of surrender. True spiritual direction flows from daily obedience—choosing prayer over distraction, truth over compromise, and humility over pride. The Spirit leads through Scripture, inner witness, godly counsel, and conviction—not through confusion or disorder.

    To be led by the Holy Spirit, one must recognize His authority and willingly submit to His guidance. As we cultivate sensitivity through prayer, fasting, and worship, we position ourselves to hear His voice and walk in divine alignment.     

When the Spirit leads, our lives produce fruit, our service carries impact, and our journey reflects God’s glory.

  In our daily prayers we should seek to be sensitive to and  led by the Holy Spirit .

PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to heal the sick .
