Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost" - John 20:22 KJV‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Genesis 2:7 KJV‬ 7. ‭‭‭‭And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. INSPIRATION: Pressure reveals the stuff one is made of. Some buckle under the weight of tense pressure; others exploit it to establish their dominance. But whether you crumble or soar under pressure, one thing it does, is to make you pant for air. Except you take in that air, you're either worse off in your crumbled state or you lack the requisite momentum to soar. For the latter, the air plays a dual role: gives you enough intake of oxygen; externally, creates a conducive climate for your flight. The breath of the Holy Spirit significantly does much more than natural air. It gives life, activates our potentials, enables many possibilities and build stability. It unlocks access and dimensions, introduces you to platforms you could never have mounted anyway else. The breath made Adam the wonder that he was in the Garden of Eden with absolute dominion; the breath from Jesus on His disciples turn uneducated men into world changers. The breath can change you, too! TODAY'S TAKE HOME: ‭‭Success and greatness in God's kingdom are deeply connected to the inspiration from the breath of the Holy Spirit. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please breathe upon me afresh with the Holy Spirit. Activate in me the capacity to deploy my potentials to create unimaginable possibilities, impact and dominance. Cause life to flow through me and all that's mine and let the world be changed through this empowering grace, in Jesus name.
